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.

We have an annual Three-Rivers festival here, as Ft. Wayne is centered on the meeting of three rivers.

This is injustice. I want a prog festival!

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 saw IZZ at Nearfest last year and they are a very good band.

I hope not also, but I noticed that the best seats are $195 for the two days, and comparable seats in the acoustically perfect theater at Nearfest for an established prog festival are $125. That high cost could be troublesome. They have a good lineup, but that cost is a little steep. In addition you have this one week before Progday, which is also cheaper,  which will force some people to choose between the festivals as pointed out above.

Hmm... this is interesting, though I wish there were more bands I was interested in since it's so close to home, but then again I'm not widely known for my love of neo-prog Wink.

Hey Roland113, what part of pittsburgh are you from?  I live in the south hills.
