Promoters for PROG POWER U.S.A, set to take place. 9/4th, 5th, 6th and 7th, 2019 CENTERSTAGE @ THE LOFT, ATLANTA, GEORGIA have sadly announced they have run out of funding for PROG POWER U.S.A.
FROM PROG POWER U.S.A. PROMOTERS:
Hello All,
We want to update you on the status of Days 1 & 2 of the festival. This has been a very difficult year for many reasons. First, the cost of every aspect of producing the show has gone up. While we planned accordingly in advance, we did not anticipate all of the delays in the visa processing times this year. In order to obtain approvals, we were forced to pay premium processing fees for the majority of our petitions. That essentially doubled all visa costs.
Second, our ticket sales are just not there this year. We tried our best to offer a roster both balanced and attractive to our fans. However, it simply did not translate into sales numbers to sustain this level in the future. We then adjusted accordingly as requested by placing single day tickets on sale a month ago. It has made very little impact unfortunately.

As a result
of the situation, we cannot blindly book a roster for next year. There
will be no roster video announcement for Days 1 & 2 at the festival
this year. We are hoping for one last final push with sales before we
make a decision on what the future will hold for Days 1 & 2.
Thank you for your support,
