Much as I'd like to go on both, this one has grabbed me more and if I do decide to go on one of them I think it will be Prog Nation

Wow what a lineup. This would be incredible.

Los Angeles, CA - Progressive Nation is hitting the high seas in 2014! Join us in this inaugural sailing from February 18^th – 22^nd 2014 on the luxurious Norwegian Pearl heading from Miami to Great Stirrup Cay and Freeport, Bahamas. This music festival at sea gives you an experience that a land festival just can’t match. In addition to 4 days in the beautiful Caribbean and all the amenities of a cruise ship; you will enjoy music from morning ‘til night with over 40 shows on multiple stages, along with activities, Q&A’s, panels and workshops from your favorite artists.

PROGRESSIVE NATION founder Mike Portnoy elaborates: "In 2008 & 2009, I created a touring package called 'Progressive Nation'and with Dream Theater headlining, we did three full tours (two in North America and one in Europe) that showcased a variety of bands that embraced the spirit and musicality of progressive music.

Well after a 5 year hiatus, I have decided to resurrect Progressive Nation and this time we are taking it to the seas! But rather than a 4 band bill like previous Progressive Nation tours, we have expanded the bill to OVER A DOZEN of today's greatest progressive bands, musicians and artists! (and there may be one or two more still to be confirmed)

Myself and my former DT bandmate Derek Sherinian have teamed up with Sixthman (who have done incredibly successful cruises with Kid Rock, Lynyrd Skynyrd and the annual Kiss Cruise to name a few) as well as our friends at Inside Out Music and look forward to a very successful inaugural launch of PROGRESSIVE NATION AT SEA Feb 18th thru 22nd 2014

We are so excited to take part in this historic maiden voyage and look forward to sharing this one of a kind event with fans from all around the world!"

This takes place the week before my B-Day next year. I will go on this, one way or another.

See you all there! Going with my brother and a friend. Should be a big time sausage fest!

I'm sorry but the card says moops.

Sausage fest? That doesn't sound too appealing. LOL.

Oh well, it's all about the music right? I know about seventy percent of the bands. If I was going to go to one of them it might be this one due to the cheaper price tag.
