Not really my scene, but I may go along. I've heard a lot of praise about Communic. Cheltenham isn't all that far from me either.

Kamalot is the only band playing that I actually know, but it could be a good show, even if they are a little short on British talant.

Here's the newly finished artwork for ProgPower II, in an attempt to drum up some enthusiasm...

well, they did have Threshold last year (who were superb as 2nd on the bill behind Therion), and I know they have tried to get Dragonforce (prob with dates, I think...) the problem at present are the number of quality prog/ power metal acts from the UK who'd fit onto the bill, although I'm sure that is something which will be addressed in the future...
I admit that next year's lineup isn't particularly prog orientated but there were a number of prog bands they tried (eg Green Carnation) who had other commitments... maybe 2008?? Edited by fandango - October 15 2006 at 12:34 |

I wasnt able to go to this years festival unfortunatly, but I'll try for next. Considering this is a UK festival, shouldnt there be at least 1 UK band on the list?

Ok Folks,
The line-up has now been confirmed for ProgPower UK II on 31st March 2007 at the Centaur, Cheltenham Racecourse, Glos.
The line-up from Headliners to Openers is as follows:
Jon Oliva's Pain (USA)
Kamelot (USA)
Leaves' Eyes (Germany)
Communic (Norway)
Haggard (Germany)
Dreamscape (Germany)
Scar Symmetry (Sweden)
Cloudscape (Sweden)
Personally, I'm looking forward to Cloudscape, Dreamscape & Kamelot; the other 5 bands are at present unknown to me.....
As you will be aware, this festival is in its infancy, and made a loss last year. In order for it to succeed and become a regular feature in the calendar, it will need as many prog and power metal fans as possible residing in the UK to attend....
more details can be found at www.progpoweruk.com
check it out!
