Second edition of the Symforce progressive rock festival. Presale starts 27th February, price € 47,50. These are the first seven bands for you. Three more acts will be added as time evolves.
Opeth It is with great pleasure that we can announce that none other than OPETH will headline the second edition of Symforce. With a ninth studio album in the pipeline our Swedish friends are playing a one-off at Symforce II and they'll deliver their full show ! With a ninth studio album under their belt for sure this will a memorable concert!
Pain Of Salvation Second band in the main hall will be none other than PAIN of SALVATION. Known the world over for their diversity and quality PoS is also playing a one-off at Symforce II and they will also play their entire show.
Textures Opening in the main hall will be a sixpiece from Tilburg called TEXTURES. These young guys will release their third studio offering in march/april. Known for their technical metal approach the band has promissed us to play a special progressive set exclusively for Symforce II.
Due to the length of the Opeth and Pain of Salvation shows there will only be three bands in the main hall!
Magic Pie This Norwegian sixpiece was recently awarded "Progressive Rock Indie Artist of the Year 2007" which is a fantastic achievement. Their albums "Motion of desire" and "Circus of life" have achieved critical acclaim all over the world and with a new singer in their ranks things surely look fantastic. Rated as one of the best rock vocalists in Europe, Magic Pie's new leadsinger Eirikur Hauksson will still be a member of Ken Hensley's Live-Fire as well whilst he's also teaming up with Trond Holter of Wigwam fame to start a new band. MAGIC PIE will surely set the house on fire. Their presence at SYMFORCE II is a one-off!
The Watch Our Italian friends THE WATCH are the seventh band to join SYMFORCE II. Not only will their brandnew line-up guide us through original sounds from their studio output, but they will also bring along a real Hammond, a real mini-Moog and above all the holy grail of progressive rock: the mighty MELLOTRON !!! Fans of vintage Genesis will have a ball here as Simone Rosetti is nothing less than a seventies Peter Gabriel. You simply have to see it to believe it !
Alquin Main attraction in the small venue will be Dutch classic proggers ALQUIN. The band has been around since 1971 and are one of Mikael Akerfeldt's alltime favourite bands. The last time the band played at the 013 they sold out the small venue. In 2008 the band will also record a brand new album, songs from which will most certainly be played during Symforce II.
Kriminal Hammond Inferno When the final sounds from Opeth have died in the main hall, the afterparty will have started. In a similar style like last year's Bootcut, we have once again opted for a duo of Hammond organ and drums. KRIMINAL HAMMOND INFERNO is based in Brussels and delivers a mysterious groove mixed with obscure Italian soundtracks. Ennio Morricone meets Goldfinger meets Also sprach Zarathustra. You get the picture. A not the be missed event which we could describe as "progressive tongue-in-cheeck" so as to dust off the serious nature of our beloved musical genre.

HISTORY: The world renowned ProgPower Festival is a concept that began 8 years ago in Holland, when the first ProgPower Europe festival took place. Since then the festival has evolved into a worldwide thing, with festivals in both Holland, USA and the UK. A lot of wellknown bands from around the globe have participated in the various ProgPower festivals, with bands as diverse as Nightwish, Symphony X, Blind Guardian, Pain Of Salvation, Opeth, Kamelot, Anathema, Evergrey and many more.
2007 saw the first Scandinavian edition taking place in Copenhagen, Denmark on November 9th and 10th.
Our goal is to make ProgPower Scandinavia an annual festival, and with the success of the first years show, we're looking very much forward to presenting to you even more of the very best names in contemporary Power and Progressive Metal in 2008 and beyond.
October 31st and November 1st 2008 we will be opening the doors for the second edition of ProgPower Scandinavia.
THE VENUE: We've chosen The Rock as the venue for our first edition. It's a venue with a capacity of 700 people, located right in the center of Copenhagen, only 5 kilometres from the airport, with easy access to a great variety of bars, restaurants, 24-hour stores, shopping and hotels.
The Rock has existed in only a few years, but already established itself as a venue where bands such as Paradise Lost, Pain Of Salvation, Cannibal Corpse, Dragonforce, Evergrey, Doro, Devil Driver, Clawfinger, Bolt Thrower and Magnum have all performed to great response from the local audience.
The former court-house provides the perfect grim and gloomy, yet at the same time cosy and welcoming atmosphere. The venue has a large stage, with balconies in front of and next to it. After the show the venue turns into a Rock/Metal nightclub, where the audience can dance, headbang and have a drink from one of the four bars till early morning.
