The first two days pro ProgPower never disappoints, even with lineup changes. While Heaven Wept and Theocracy were solid last minute replacements. Insomnium was great as the headliner for the first day. Second day, Tomorrow's Eve and Galneryus were having a lot of fun, and Evergrey tore the roof off, as they usually do.
The premier prog and power metal festival in the US!!
This festival never ceases to amaze me every year. I will not miss it EVER if I can help it.
Once again, Glenn and his staff hit it out of the park with their lineup. Everything about this festival is great. If you’re a fan of progressive rock/metal make sure you check it out!!
Great band line up, perfect venue, good drink prices, and decent food options. A great place for progessive fans to come together, listen to great music, and have a great time.
This was my first time attending ProgPowerUSA, but it won't be my last. The venue was perfect for this event. The artist lineup was excellent. I originally was interested because Tarja was the headliner, and she was fantastic, but there were so many quality bands here. If you like progressive metal, and want to check out some bands that rarely play the USA, this is your event.
Superb! We go every year and make a big deal out of it. I really like the variety of bands that play. The food at the venue was much better this year...love those burritos!
Absolutely awesome! A variety of Prog bands for four days
Great venue. No problems with troubles or racism. The sound was incredible. The fact Glen gets these bands is truly a gift. I’m going every year from now on. The place was amazing and loved every minute. My only complaint is the lights are too bright for the audience and could use more food vendors. Otherwise and amazing time. See ya next year
Lots of amazing bands at a great venue. There isn't a bad seat in the house. Also, many shows are once in a lifetime.
Best fest for progressive metal you'll find in North America. If you're even sort of considering it, just come!
Voyager was amazing, tight out of the gate. Cellar Darling sounded better live than on the CD. Nocturnal Rites had lots of energy. DORO still kicked it after 30 years. Very few technical issues this year, bands kept to schedules and performers mingled after the show!
Persefone and Son's of Apollo are the cream of the crop, so heavy yet technical. But giving Alestorm an 1.5 hour set was not good. It's hard to stomach them for more than 15 minutes
I will never miss this festival if I can help it. Glenn and Jen run the tightest ship out there. From the venue security, the festival staff and bartenders...and of course the amazing fans that attend....this is the most organized event I have ever and will continue to go to.
Best Music festival in the world! No other festival is run this well, on time, and with all the benefits that PorgPower USA is.
Unforgettable event, well worth waiting almost a year for.. Was dissapointed that so many bands on the original bill had to cancel, but others stepped in to fill the void! Angra and Jeff Scott Soto were my favorites of the two days i attended. Great venue, little run down but overall this was an experience i will never forget!
If you love Metal Prog, Power, and a sampling of other styles as well no indoor festival compares! A small intimate event for 1000 with fans that return year after year (a family really) this event is not to be missed! Great sound, great crew, best acts, fab location. 2 major day long events plus 2 nights prior offered as well. Can't recommend this event enough!
Can't go wrong with ProgPower USA! Sometimes, the kick-off shows are some of the best parts!
Such an amazing festival for Progressive and Power Metal fans. If you can get your hands on a ticket, you have to go! Not only are the lineups always have something for everyone, the venue itself is fantastic. You can either be in the general admission area or there are seats you can sit in. Not a bad seat in the house.
Saxon and Armored Saint still delivered as if it were 1985. Biff Byford a John Bush can still sing as well as they did 30 years ago. Paul and Doug are definitely among the greatest dual guitarists playing in a heavy metal band today. Great set lists of hits and newer material by both bands. Only got to see half of Dragonland, and missed the opening act completely. Not into that Euro festival metal chanting genre, but Dragonland was well received and had fans in the auidience. Great venue, easily accessible. Well ran event with good food and merch tables everywhere. Venue has an open floor and GA seating with great views of the stage. Crowd was cool consisting of passionate metal heads. Great hang and well worth the trip from Charlotte for me.
