THE FORCES OF PROG INVADE THE NORTH
Once again, the faithful congregate and flock to the
temple for the 2nd coming:
The Temple of Prog II!
The cauldron of Progressive rock bubbles with complex
musical structures and intellectual themes. Intriguing
spiritual ideas will be explored by the 5 tribes presiding at
the 2026 line up.
Believers will travel across time and space to convene at
the Temple once again.
Starting the revels of the day:
IDIOGRAM. Hailing from coastal Scotland they lead the
attack, finding the beauty in chaos & joy where all things
meet.
Following in their wake, the mystical, steampunk clad
HRH Prog Angel 2024 DORIS BRENDEL and her plucky
sage, LEE DUNHAM will be delighting the ears and
senses, weaving their acoustic magic.
But wait!.. Back from the South, we hear the ringing
warrior cries of the magnificent pagan clan SPRIGGAN
MIST, as they return for another round of musical
mayhem.
Hot on their heels, like a flash of lightning across the
stage, the storm of wild Maenads and their Bad Dog
come barreling through the veil. Laughing, intoxicating,
chaotically led by the ever shapeshifting Cosmic Jester..
Yes. It’s EBB.
And lastly, the carousing shall culminate in the cult
gathering of SOLSTICE. Listen to the legendary
incantations, wrapped in melodic, majestic rock as the
Best Band in Prog Magazine’s reader’s poll 2024 close
out a day of worship at the altar of PROG.
All believers, Assemble!
