ProgStock

ProgStock 2025 is the ninth edition of the annual volunteer-run event whose mission is to shine light on one of the most exciting and creative genres of rock music, Progressive Rock. The festival is designed as a hybrid event, including in-person attendance on-stage performances, access to artist meet-and-greets, vendor tables and fine artist exhibits, and many other unique attractions that make this much more than a music festival…it’s a Prog convention! Since 2021, they also offer live-streaming of the main on-stage performances for those who can’t attend in-person.

ProgStock provides its international audience with a varied menu of Progressive Rock acts from all over the world. Although there are many American bands on their roster gaining this valuable exposure, they try to include international acts that are either less well-known in the USA and deserve the chance for international exposure, or are seasoned performers with a rich history of musical achievements, as incentive for more patrons to attend the festival.

This year's festival is shaping up to be their best yet! ... and we say that not because many of our The Band Wagon USA artists will be featured. The festival will be headlined by h Natural (Steve Hogarth), Pattern-Seeking Animals, and IO Earth and the Orchestra of Sound & Emotion. Other featured artists will be Dave Bainbridge & Sally Minnear, Discipline, Funhouse Mirrors, Kate Hinote Trio, Melanie Mau & Martin Schnella, Mike Keneally & Beer For Dolphins, Orpheus Nine, Peter Jones (of Tiger Moth Tales), Points North, Rachel Flowers, serengazer, The Cyberiam, and more. Festival hosts will be Jimmy Keegan and Michael Sadler. The pre-festival event will feature Fred Barchetta - Rush Tribute, Robeone (Robert Schinder), and Late Night Live.
