If I may, any fans of John Arch style vox, and Symphony Xish music will really enjoy 6MC. They are a FANTASTIC live band, and their new stuff simply slays.
Thanks for the continued input
This. Come on folks get your tickets, support Shane, look at all he has done for the music scene, and he is family. And read carefully what Claus said, that is a true insight into how things are.
Let me remind you all what happened with ProgPower Scandinavia ... due to lack of presales we had to cancel the festival. As a booking agent you can not rely on the fact that people will show up at the door and buy tickets.

Totally understand this line of thinking,but also on the other side of things.For most of us,it's not just buying a ticket,it's adding an extra night to an already high hotel bill unless you are one of those wo is staying at the Super 8
I understand you can buy a ticket and just not go,that way you are still supporting the fest but don't have to book the extra night at a hotel.That may be what some people do but I know it's hard to spend that kind of money if you are not going to the event.
And to those of you that will wait till the day of, that is totally cool as well. I just wanted to get a general concensus of what people were thinking.
All of you guys are great, and the lifeline of all 4 nights of the show. I do understand that money is tight....believe me I do. I just hope that you all will enjoy the performances, and if there is anything I can do to make the experience better, please let me know.

We're less than a month away from Shane's "Kick Off" show now, and if people are planning on attending I really would urge them to go buy their tickets now.
Sure, ACCEPT will pull a bunch of local non-PP people, and they'll most likely just buy their tickets at the door. But the rest of us "progpower regulars" should do our part now in securing Shane's show and Shane's me(n)tal state

However, the last thing we want is for this show or future pp kickoff shows to be cancelled.
If this happens and I have to miss Accept this year, I personally guarantee you that every one of you here that didn't buy a ticket, I will track you down and force you to sit, alone, in a room for an hour, with Milton. Naked.
UGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH shutter to even picture that.
ACCEPT's first show will kick off the eleventh annual ProgPower USA festival in Atlanta.
ACCEPT U.S. tour dates:
Sep. 09 - Atlanta, GA - ProgPower USA (no KING'S X)
What I'm wondering is if some potential showgoers from the local Atlanta market don't realize the distinction because things like that Blabbermouth article make it look like it's part of the main, more expensive fest. Now maybe if you're a metalhead who lives around Atlanta, it's obvious already, so I could be wrong. But I thought it might be worth pointing out.
THAT is a really, really good point.
