THERION, SANCTUARY, ARCTURUS Confirmed For Next Year's PROGPOWER USA XII Festival - Sep. 12, 2010



A special U.S.-exclusive show from Swedish progressive/experimental metallers THERION, a rare appearance from pre-NEVERMORE cult band SANCTUARY, and the first confirmed reunion show of Norwegian avant-garde metal originators ARCTURUS have been announced for the ProgPower USA XII festival, set to take place September 14-17, 2011 at Center Stage in Atlanta, Georgia.



"ProgPower USA is definitely one of the better organized festivals we have attended and was a highlight on our first U.S. tour. We feel honored to have been invited again, and will prepare something special for the event, as this is the one and only chance for our US-fans to see us live in their country," comments THERION's Christofer Johnsson.



ARCTURUS vocalist ICS Vortex (real name Simen Hestnæs) adds, "ProgPower USA 2011 will host the first ARCTURUS concert in five years. This is our first performance in the United States, and since we're all retarded, probably the last."

fuck, so disappointed i'm gonna have to miss this

Vortex must be really desperate to put that bite of bread on the table for him to get Arcturus rolling again.

[Mesarthim]

they probably got offered a shit load of money.



progpower is a two day festival so Arcturus will probably headline one of the days.

Dream Evil

having been there at arcturus' two final concerts i wholeheartedly endorse all to roadtrip their asses to this festival and bask in the musical splendour of an awesome, awesome fucking band

[Mesarthim]

Luke knows.

Don't give too much hopes for Dream Evil at live. Seen them twice live and both times they were fucking horrible. And yes, I can dig them on album.



But just seeing Arcturus would be worth the trip for me.
