Direct Link To This Post Topic: European Prog Festivals: Rolling Calendar
    Posted: February 03 2008 at 12:07

Welcome to a new initiative I am very proud to introduce to the Events forum! I have collated a rolling calendar, including all the basic details of many of Europe’s premier, annual Prog festivals, together with a weblink to their respective homepages, and Myspace pages.

It is my intention that this list will be continually added to and updated as an ongoing process, in order that it might become a reliable and comprehensive ‘one-stop’ source of information on all Prog festivals throughout Europe during the year.

In order for this to succeed of course, it goes without saying that I will need the help of you all. Firstly, despite the wonderful aid of the Worldwide Web, I am sure you will understand that I have a greater knowledge of the Prog scene here in the UK than I do about the scene around the foothills of Transylvania. I would therefore request that if I have missed out the details of a great festival near to you, that you add a post to this thread.

Secondly, many of the initial festivals listed are for more mainstream Prog, as opposed to RIO/ Avant Garde/ Kraut/ Canterbury and so on. Whilst I apologise for this omission, I would also be grateful if fans could post relevant details, below, to enable me to construct a more comprehensive festival guide.

Finally, once this concept has been established, it is my intention over the following weeks to create festival quick-link guides for other regions of the world, until ultimately we have all bases covered!!

Many thanks to you all, and Best Wishes

Jared....Big%20smile

 
* Update *
 
Notice of Suspension of Calendar Updates
 
I have decided to stop the regular updates of these Calendars for the time being.  You can still find out the latest dates, line-ups and festival details by clicking on the links provided, within the post below this one.  It is hoped that in due course, Prog festivals information will be transferred to the front page, where it should receive greater exposure and become more of an asset.
 
In the meantime, if you feel you would like to take on the role of updating this calendar every couple of weeks, then please either PM myself or one of the Admin Team, to this end.  I thank you for the support and interest you have shown over the past 12 months.
 
Jared

Are you a Festival Organiser?

Help Us To Help You!

You could help us by providing our members with brief, regular updates on festival details, bands booked etc, by starting a thread, and adding to it, as news comes in. Naturally, the more often your thread is added to, the higher the festival’s profile will become as it is bumped up the page.

After the event, we would love you to either post a review with some pictures or provide a Weblink, which in turn may attract more attendees next year!

 
You can gain some additional exposure by becoming PA's MySpace friend!
 
 
and we'll be happy to add your event!
 
 
 
ProgArchives is a keen supporter of Prog Festivals, Worldwide!

I'm on the lookout for festivals in Italy, but I am afraid it is too early to know. I am not even sure there is anything of the sort in my country... I'll keep you posted, though I wouldn't hold my breath about it.

And all of the festivals with a MySpace account will be befriended by ProgArchives@MySpace - so all the people going to the festivals will be able to submit, read and respond to reviews of these fabulous events.
