3 Rivers Progressive Rock festival,Pittsburgh,USA

This looks like a cool festival. I agree, the timing could be better, but with the Flower Kings and Spocks Beard, and IZZ, this is a solid lineup. I wanted to see Flower Kings at ROSFest, I will now seriously consider traveling to this.

I finally got the list as to who will be playing at this, uh, festival.  Don't know if i'll be attending.   Not too many bands i'm interested in.  Seven of the bands listed to play are:

Whoever the organizer of this event is apparently didn't do their homework. This event is one week away from Progday which is scheduled a week later on Labor Day. Why someone would schedule a prog festival this close to another major prog festival is beyond me. One might say that they are pretty far apart geographically and to that I would say this. Being that I am a volunteer of Progday I can tell you that  a good portion of our attendees actually come from the northeast(PA, NY, MA, NJ etc)so this could potentially hurt our festival. Something similar to this happened about six years ago. Fortunately(in a way)that festival didn't pan out. I seriously wish the organizer will at the very least consider that Progday is only one week later and consider making it earlier in the future. Progday has been around for almost fifteen years and will probably not change their dates. No one would expect this new festival to change their dates this late in the game but it's just something to consider. These festivals all support the prog scene and should not be viewed as being in competition with each other.

Can't wait to see who will be playing there. I'll be checking their site more often now!

There is a Progressive Rock Festival coming to Pittsburgh, Pa. this August 23-24.
