Swedish bands EVERGREY and ANDROMEDA will both return to ProgPower Europe this year. Both bands played the festival before and even shared the stage back in 2003. Now, 6 years later they will return for 2 headline shows. ANDROMEDA will headline on Friday 2 October and most likely EVERGREY will end the festival with a 2 hour headline show on Sunday 4 October.

Today we confirm 3 more bands for this year’s edition of ProgPower Europe.

First of all one of the best Dutch prog bands ate the moment, KNIGHT AREA.
This band is probably not unknown to most of you, they have already
released 2 excellent albums and played several festival all over the
world including Nearfest in the USA. In September, just before ProgPower the band will released its 3rd album.

Secondly we have booked a total unknown band for all of you we think, the Polish band VANITY.
We have discovered this band through Myspace and were really impressed
by their songs. They have now officially released their first demoCD
and are looking for a record deal. Their music is hard to describe, the
best describtion might be schizophrenic prog metal. But just check
their myspace and listen to their songs yourself, Caterine for exemple
is a masterpiece.

And the last band we confirm today is the Australian band CHAOS DIVINE,
probably also not know to many of you but that will definitely change
soon. The band has just released its debut album in Australia and the
reactions are extremely positive. The band is described as an excellent
mix of Dream Theater and Arch Enemy. Especially the vocals and guitar
riffs make a lot of impression to the people from the media. It will be
their first trip to Europe, CHAOS DIVINE and VANITY are those bands that you discover at ProgPower Europe!

We will book 8 more bands and announce the next few bands within 2 weeks.

The first 3 bands are confirmed to perform at ProgPower Europe 2009.

First of all we welcome the return of CLOUDSCAPE from Sweden. The band did their first gig outside Sweden back in 2005, when they entered the staged at ProgPower Europe 2005. Now, in 2009 the band will come back and you can be sure to expect another excellent performance by these Swedes.

Another band from Sweden, SEVENTH WONDER, will also play at ProgPower Europe in 2009. This band is probably one of the best newcomerse these days and many people asked us to book this band. So we are really happy to confirm Seventh Wonder already now.

The last band we confirm now is PROSPECT from Slovenia. This band might be unknown to many of you, but in thei homecountry Slovenia they have build up a very good reputation. The band already toured with bands such as Queensryche and Helloween and they are very much looking forward to play at ProgPower Europe 2009.

The performances of these 3 bands will be all exclusive performances for the Dutch market for the second half of 2009.

It will be a very special performance, ALARUM will come over to Europe for this gig only. The band is scheduled to play on Saturday 4 October, right after the diner-break with a set of 1 hour and 15 minutes.

One of the 2 last bands that will complete the line-up for this year's edition of ProgPower Europe is confirmed now, ATROX from Norway! The band was on our list for a longer time, but we have waited until a new album was coming. Now, with the release of their 5th album "Binocular" it is time to have these guys on stage at ProgPower Europe. We are not sure when the band will play, this Friday we will announce the final band for ProgPower Europe and than we know the detailed time schedule.

Regarding the last band we will confirm, let us surprise you one more time, we are sure you will love our choice. Especially all the Cynic fans will be very pleased with our choice! So Friday 22 August we will confirm the last band to complete the line-up.

Unfortunately we have received a cancellation from Pure Reason Revolution. This is the band's statement: "Due to unforeseen circumstances we are unable play at Progpower in The Netherlands on Oct 5th, many apologies to anyone attending just to see us".

We will keep it by these words, the only thing we have to say is that we are very disappointed in the band's decision, but right now we're already talking to some other bands to replace them.

CYNIC HEADLINER! (23 June 2008)

US legends of CYNIC will headline ProgPower Europe on Saturday 4 October! Most likely, the band will only come over to Europe for the show at ProgPower, so this will be some kind of an exclusive performance. In July and August the band will do some shows in Europe after they finished recording/mixing the new album. At the end of 2008 or early 2009 the band will do a new tour in Europe, but for the 10th anniversary of ProgPower CYNIC will come over to Europe for a special headline show of 90 minutes! So be sure to order your tickets on time.
 
A press statement will go out this Wednesday, than we also will update the entire website with all relevant information!
