Through many tours and countless concerts, Vanden Plas has proven again and again that it is among the world's leading progressive metal bands.

Regardless of a band's fame, an invitation to this prestigious event is an honour and their performance is certainly a high note in Vanden Plas' history. And it is for exactly that reason that Vanden Plas decided to captutre that unique moment.
