NOVEMBERS DOOM have just confirmed that they will be adding a very special acoustic set on the same night, May 9th, of their main stage performance at this year's Chicago Powerfest. This will be their first ever acoustic set on American soil, and will be held in the Pearl Room's connected lounge (Capone's) prior to their main set.

For this year's Chicago Powerfest, festival organizer's CRJ Productions have made arrangements to have the adjacent lounge opened up to fest attendees as a special room for fans to kick back, hang out & check out some cool acoustic performances which will take place in between main stage acts. Additional vendors will also be invited to set up in the lounge area, and if any vendors are interested, please contact CRJ via the fest website www.ChicagoPowerfest.com

CRJ also commented, "This is yet another step towards our ultimate goal of creating the complete festival experience for the Powerfest, and we're very excited to see how things will continue to develop. We hope that by opening up the lounge this year, it will give fans a chance to hang out, and even an opportunity to rest instead of having to stand the entire night...something many fans have expressed an eager interest in over the years."
