Amorphis Confirmed as Second Headliner of ProgPower USA IX
Atlanta- Finland’s Amorphis have been confirmed as the second headliner of ProgPower USA IX. America’s premiere metal festival returns to Center Stage in Atlanta on Sept 26 & 27.
“Amorphis may not fit the stereotypical profile, but they truly are a progressive giant in this scene. From their death metal roots to the current moody atmosphere, they have done it all. Any band that can survive for sixteen years by doing it their own way deserves to be a headliner” said promoter Glenn Harveston.
Amorphis’s last performance in the U.S. was in 2003.
Joining the band are festival headliner Iced Earth, Florida’s Jon Oliva’s Pain, Poland’s Riverside, Germany’s Iron Savior, Denmark’s Volbeat, Sweden’s Andromeda, Florida’s Rob Rock, Italy’s Elvenking, France’s Spheric Universe Experience, Austria’s Serenity, and Italy’s Pathosray.
Tickets for ProgPower USA IX go on sale March 1st and limited to 900 tickets.Advance gold badges are sold-out for the seventh consecutive year.
This is awesome news. Didn’t Amorphis play their last US shows in 2005, not 2003?
Yeah, they did a one-month US tour in March 2005. Only at small clubs though. Amorphis at ProgPower is great news indeed!
So what does this mean? The people with the gold badges get in earlier so they can get right up to the stage? Is that what that is?
Why are they only doing one show in the states? why cant they come up to the ny area?
