    SERENITY: Codex Atlanticus

    Serenity released a lyric video for their first song from the upcoming new album. I would love to see them in the U.S. again. They were great at ProgPower USA XIII.

    Luca Turilli's RHAPSODY and PRIMAL FEAR co-headlining North American tour spring 2016

    I really hope it works out. Serenity is the one remaining band that I haven't had the good fortune to see a second time after their ProgPower performance that I really wanted to see again. Wish we could get them in Louisville, KY, but as long as they at least come as close as Chicago, I am there.

    PPUSA Day 1 Headliner Announcement! (update 11/16)

    Ok, I can already tell that this will be the first year I come for Wednesday through Saturday. I have been for Thursday before, but never Wednesday. At least I purchased tickets for both Wednesday and Thursday this year to support the festival even though I couldn't go. I am definitely a fan...

    New Amaranthe Album "Massive Addictive" out Oct. 21

    Actually, I would think the last tour was earlier this year when they headlined with Santa Cruz and I Prevail, unless that is considered the same tour. Not sure how that works out. Would love to see them again on this one, but I don't have the vacation days left.

    Southwest Airlines - Big discounts through Friday... if you can access their website.

    Unfortunately for me, I will probably have to drive from Louisville to Atlanta. It isn't covered by the sale when I looked yesterday, as it is still $400 round trip. It seems pretty much the only thing on sale for Louisville is Chicago and Washington DC.........

    What drew you to ProgPowerUSA the 1st time?

    For me, the first one was VII. I had just become a fan of Epica a few months before and really loved them. Then I saw they were playing a single show in the U.S. on their upcoming tour, in Atlanta for PPUSA VII, so I jumped at the opportunity to see them. I had a great time at VII, then when...

    How do geography and social networks affect your concert-going?

    When I was still living in Mississippi, I would have to drive the 6 hours to Atlanta for pretty much any show I wanted to see, so I would do it for ProgPower USA and maybe 1 other show a year, so I missed a lot of concerts. Now I am in Louisville, KY and we sometimes get some of the shows...

    Welcome to HotLanta - Forum Member Lunch on Thursday!

    I would like to make this for once, but I am not sure if I will make it into town in time. Depends on how early I make it out of Louisville that morning.

    New Poets of the Fall video - "Daze"

    I can't wait for the new album. I believe it was one of your posts when Temple of Thought was coming out that got me to look into PotF the first time. Love them now! I wish we could see them here in the U.S.

    Amaranthe US headlining tour in the fall

    I doubt there will be any headlining dates announced for Chicago since they are going to be there with Within Temptation on October 1. I can't wait for that show. Have never seen Within Temptation but have wanted to for a while. And I loved seeing Amaranthe at ProgPower USA and last tour in...

    Airline tix - for those who are waiting for good prices..

    Yeah, that's what I am waiting on. If Southwest runs that deal again this year, I will fly to Atlanta. But if not, I have no problem with the 6.5-7 hour drive.
