AntiMusic is reporting that this year’s ProgPower UK festival has been canceled due to poor ticket sales. The two day festival was to take place on March 28th and 29th in Bristol and feature sets from Jon Oliva’s Pain, Kamelot, Leaves’ Eyes, Communic, Haggard, Dreamscape, Scar Symmetry, and Cloudscape. The following statement was posting on the event’s website:
