KORPIKLAANI & SWASHBUCKLER Added To PaganFest USA 2

Blabbermouth.net reports Rock The Nation has announced the final tour lineup of PaganFest USA: Part 2 with two brand new additions to the upcoming traveling spectacle: Finland's folk freaks KORPIKLAANI as the new headliners, and straight off the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, New Jersey's crazy pirate metal drunks SWASHBUCKLE as the opening party-starters throughout the tour!

This year's PaganFest USA was a huge success, and according to Rock The Nation manager and KATAKLYSM frontman Maurizio Iacono, “the hype is not over just yet! Like all the things I do in my life, whether I listen to what people say and what people want, there's no way we would not top this year's PaganFest USA with the next one, so we thought of the ultimate line up and went for it! This will be THE event to be at for 2009, that's for certain. Please welcome KORPIKLAANI and SWASHBUCKLE to the fold and raise your glasses and swords. Prepare for one hell of a good time!”

Part 2 of this incredible saga will now present the following bands in order of appearance beginning with the headliners: Finland's KORPIKLAANI, Switzerland's ELUVEITIE, Ireland's PRIMORDIAL, Finland's MOONSORROW, Canada's BLACKGUARD (formerly known as PROFUGUS MORTIS) and New Jersey's SWASHBUCKLE.

The first date of this unique trek has been revealed as May 7, 2009 at the Chicago Powerfest. More dates will be announced in January.
