Celebrating its 10th Anniversary, Progfest is the ultimate annual gathering for progressive music fans, and prog as a genre is one of the nation’s fastest growing.
The 2019 line up of Progfest is definitely the biggest yet with three international bands, Germany’s legendary post-metallers The Ocean, the UK’s djent-groove metal pioneers Monuments and India’s finest progressive rock export Skyharbor, leading the charge with an absolutely massive contingent of Australian and New Zealand bands bringing the total number of acts involved to 40!
The Ocean and Monuments both have special Progfest sideshows in Perth and Adelaide, to complement their New Zealand sideshows in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch (The Ocean only).
With ten days until the first show, Progfest can reveal Set Times and Stage Names for each festival event. Keeping it with the Egyptian theme, the main stage has been named Pyramid and the second stage has been named Pharaoh.
