    I'm guessing Glass Hammer will headline, with Steve Hackett opening.

    Hopefully it's a big bus festival, 5 days of prog while touring Chicago in a great big prog bus.

    Cool. Let's hope the pre-hype is worth the actual announcement hype.

    I think we're all thinking of a certain festival that was cancelled first time around.

    Let's not forget that PROGNIGHT (the first fest Kevin organized in Chicago, with a little help from yours truly) with District 97, Three Friends and Neal Morse was a big success. I don't know the full extent of what Kevin has up his sleeve here, but I think it could be really good.

    Would this be Ethelfest?

    I heard something was coming while at ROSfest. Just hope it's not near a holiday where I have no chance of going. Chi-town is great when there isn't two feet of snow (or more) on the ground.

    So far this thread is nothing but a tease. ;-)

    Who says prog is dead?

    The Stick Men appearing at your fest at Reggie's has already been put out there for 10/26.


    There was a Progtoberfest for a few years in Ottawa - is this related to those fests at all?
