Prog-Power UK III Cancelled

I am sure this is not news to the majority of people on this site but I was curious as to what the uk people who post thought of this, or anyone else for that matter?

Personally I think this festival was a bit ambitious for the UK seeing as prog and power metal really isn't massive in the UK (Don't know why bloody should be).

Also thought the line-up for this and past festivals could have done with some bigger names with more pulling power to attract the fans.

Lets hope some of these 12 bands are big names as I'm not too over joyed at the line up so far, apart from Celtic Legacy & Nuclear Reign

Price no fixed yet.

This year's Prog Power had a rather lackluster line up. Last year's line up had two rather ginormous names in Jon Oliva's Pain and Kamelot, both of which drew radically different crowds. Then of course, there were a few familiar faces in the supporting bands with Leaves' Eyes and Communic. The rest of the bands were all great, albeit far less known. But my point is PPUKII had some relatively well known bands at its helm - this year had Evergrey annd that was it. Nothing on the scale of JOP or Kamelot.
It's a shame it got cancelled, but I wasn't intending to go. I'm saving my money for Bloodstock.
