THRESHOLD Confirmed For PROGPOWER EUROPE Festival

January 2, 2008

UK progressive metallers THRESHOLD have been confirmed for the ProgPower Europe 2008 festival. The three-day event will celebrate its 10th anniversary with three bands on Friday, October 3 and six on Saturday, October 4 and Sunday, October 5 at JC Sjiwa in Baarlo, The Netherlands. THRESHOLD will headline the event on Sunday with a full two-hour show.

Other bands that are confirmed to appear at the festival are GHOST BRIGADE, PAGAN'S MIND, SUSPYRE and DIVISION BY ZERO.

THRESHOLD ended their 2007 dates with a sold-out performance to 8,000 fans at WITHIN TEMPTATION's homecoming show in Holland. "It was wonderful to be asked to support WITHIN TEMPTATION," commented vocalist Damian Wilson. "They've achieved so much and put on a spectacular, faultless show. For us it was the perfect end to a great tour, and I feel the beginning of a very positive new era for THRESHOLD."

Singer Damian Wilson recently returned to THRESHOLD following the departure of Andrew McDermott.

Wilson will continue touring with the band in 2008 but no decision has yet been made about his involvement on future albums.

After signing with Nuclear Blast last year, THRESHOLD released their eighth studio album, "Dead Reckoning", in March 2007. The CD brought the band their best chart success to date in the UK, Germany and Holland, and led to tracks on numerous compilations as well as a major Hollywood soundtrack. The band toured Europe in the autumn with a strong support package featuring COMMUNIC, MACHINE MEN and SERENITY, as well as playing many festivals in the UK, US and Europe.
THRESHOLD closed the year by releasing its first retrospective, "The Best of Threshold - The Ravages of Time".
