and we have the first announcement for next years festival ..

Please welcome on Friday, 19th July: IQ

IQ were formed in 1981 and are part of the Neo-Prog scene (along with Marillion, Pendragon and others). In the beginning, they were influenced by big prog bands like Yes and Genesis, but quickly developed their own style.
IQ have released 10 studio albums to this date. The last one was "The Road Of Bones" from 2014. The band is currently working on their 11th album, due next spring. This Friday, a 25th anniversary edition of "EVER" will be released.
The band's line-up has been more or less pretty constant throughout their history. Today's line-up consists of Peter Nicholls (vocals), Mike Holmes (guitars, keyboards), Paul Cook (drums), Tim Esau (bass), Neil Durant (keyboards).

Five years after their last performance at Night Of The Prog, the band will finally return to the Loreley in 2019! Please welcome on the rock: IQ

the second announcement came in ...

Please welcome on Saturday, 20th July: t

German multi-instrumentalist, singer, producer and control freak Thomas Thielen is t. He has always been famous for his enigmatic existence in the studio - but now, after 19 years of claiming it was impossible to get t on stage, he's doing it!

t has always been a musician. He was classically educated and during school time his main interest shifted to guitar playing. Today he admits to being a strictly under-average musician with quite a few instruments none of which he is capable of playing properly.

t has always been interested in sound issues. His music has always been known for its combination or resonating melodies, avatgarde soundscaping and strangely natural sounding odd metres.

A new album is set for a 2019 release.

The live-band consits of Thomas Thielen (vocals, guitars, keyboards), Jan Steiger (guitars), Dominik Hüttermann (keyboards), Yenz Strutz (bass) and Thomas Nussbaum (drums).

t will perform for the first time on the rock on Saturday, 20th July 2019 - so please welcome: t!

The band's line-up is: Simon L'Espérance (guitars), Thomas Brodeur (drums), Sébastien Cloutier (keys), Sylvian Auclair (bass, vocals)

We are proud to have Karcius on board next year. The band will perform for the first time on the rock on Saturday, 20th July 2019 - so please welcome: Karcius!

next announcement, that will please the italian visitors for sure:

NIGHT OF THE PROG 2019 OFFICIAL

Please welcome on Sunday, 21st July: RanestRane!

RanestRane (that means “Strange Frogs”) is an Italian progressive rock band formed in Rome in 1998. The band writes progressive style music and concept albums inspired by art films such as "Nosferatu the Vampyre" by W. Herzog, "The Shining" and "2001: A Space Odyssey" by Stanley Kubrick. The "A Space Odyssey’s trilogy" features guest appearances from Steve Rothery and Steve Hogarth, guitarist and frontman of Marillion respectively.

RanestRane’s most distinctive feature is its live performance: the band composes and performs original lyrics and music, blending them with short excerpts from the movie, projected in the background. The original score is almost entirely replaced by the new soundtrack. The band re-elaborates the art film, thus producing a real Rock Opera.

The vocal parts featuring original lyrics are intertwined with fragments of the film dialogues, so creating a new approach to the way spectators experience the film screening.

Their most recent album "A Space Odyssey – Final Part – Starchild" has been presented live during the first RanestRane Weekend (on May 4th-6th in Cervia, Italy). It’s the third part of a trilogy inspired by the Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece "2001: A Space Odyssey". It was officially released on June 6th, 2018.

RanestRane are:
Daniele Pomo – vocals, drums & percussions
Riccardo Romano – keyboards, harp & backing vocals
Maurizio Meo – bass & double bass
Massimo Pomo – acoustic & electric guitars

We are proud to have RanesRane on board next year. The band will perform for the first time on the rock on Sunday, 21st July 2019 - so please welcome: RanestRane!

next announcement, the headliner for Saturday ...

Please welcome our HEADLINER on Saturday, 20th July - one of the most legendary drummers in music history with his new project: NICK MASON's SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS

We are very proud to announce that PINK FLOYD's drummer NICK MASON will be headlining the Saturday, 20th July 2019, at our NIGHT OF THE PROG FESTIVAL on the famous Loreley, Germany.

NICK MASON is the only member of PINK FLOYD who can be heard on every album and every tour. Contrary to his colleagues Roger Waters and David Gilmour, Mason never had much interest in a solo career and has released only three solo albums.
Earlier this year, Mason formed a band, NICK MASON's SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS. The band consists of Spandau Ballet guitarist Gary Kemp (guitars and vocals), guitarist Lee Harris (Blockheads), Guy Pratt on bass (familiar to Pink Floyd fans), composer Dom Beken (keyboards) and of course Nick Mason himself on drums. Nick even got the blessing from both David Gilmour and Roger Waters for this project.

The band has performed a highly successful tour earlier this year and will be out on tour again in 2019 in North America and the UK. Their setlist is a tour-de-force of old Pink Floyd material, as the band's name suggests.
We are proud to have NICK MASON's SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS on board next year.

The band will perform for the first time on the rock on Saturday, 20th July 2019 - so please welcome:

Dutch/British melodic and progressive rock act DILEMMA disappeared from the public eye for years, until they came back with a brand new album "Random Act Of Liberation". Their debut album, "Imbroccata", was released way back in 1995. The only new member since their debut is Dec Burke, who joined the band for their new album after their original singer decided to leave the band. The band secretly decided to reset and start over while keep working under the same moniker. Now with a completely rewritten and newly recorded album, and with Dec Burke as their new front man, there’s no question left: DILEMMA is here to stay for the long run and ‘Random Acts Of Liberation’ paves the way for a whole new journey 
DILEMMA recently toured with Sons Of Apollo during their European Tour.

We are looking forward to seeing them perform during our Festival, so please welcome for the first time on the rock on Friday, 19th July 2019: DILEMMA

DILEMMA are
Dec Burke – vocals, guitars
Paul Crezee – guitars
Collin Leijenaar – drums, loops, percussion
Erik van der Vlis – bass

Please welcome our HEADLINER on Sunday, 21st July - The STEVE HILLAGE Band!

We are very proud to announce that STEVE HILLAGE will perform a special set with The STEVE HILLAGE Band on sunday, 21st July 2019, at our NIGHT OF THE PROG FESTIVAL on the famous Loreley, Germany.

After 40 years, The STEVE HILLAGE Band will be back on stage, performing material from their first four albums. Steve Hillage will use GONG as his backing band. Their performance at Night Of The Prog will be the only Festival show they will do in Europe Mainland in 2019.

Steve Hillage told PROG Magazine / Loudersounds a few days ago: “I haven't yet worked out what songs I am going to do. Some are obvious, and I will also look to feature some deep cuts from these albums. What I could also do is include one or two tracks from later albums like Open (79) and And Not Or (82); remember that last band tour was at the time when Open was released. My aim is to put together a stonking setlist that truly shines.”

Please welcome on Sunday, 21st July - one of the "hottest" bands in Prog- and Artrock Music, from Norway: OAK

OAK's core of Simen Valldal Johannessen on piano and vocals, Øystein Sootholtet on bass, keys and programming and Sigbjørn Reiakvam on drums, keys and programming all come from diverse backgrounds spanning from classical piano to electronica, prog- and hardrock, and includes references to the alternative scene as well as progressive rock. The core takes care of the writing, recording and production of Oaks music. The band is completed with Stephan Hvinden and Ole Michael Bjørndal on guitars and backing vocals.

Their debut album "Lighthouse" was released in 2012. OAK is back with their second album “False Memory Archive”, which, with its nods in the
direction of "Lighthouse", make it a natural continuation of their debut. 
Meticulously crafted, with an increased use of electronics and low bass frequencies, "False Memory Archive" is both darker and groovier than its predecessor, whilst still maintaining that familiar Oak sound, which is neither wholly progressive pop, nor progressive rock, but a happy amalgam of both.

OAK received some great reviews for their latest album, such as:

“What a band..what an album.. they deserve to be huge! Every tune on this album is to die for.....to me it is one of the albums of the year!"

DPRP: 
“It is not very often that I come across an album that is so utterly 
perfect as Oak`s Lighthouse. It is even less often that such an album comes from a band that is all - but - completely unheard of (...) Oak`s music ranges from atmospheric and ethereal, to heavy and melodic. The album flows brilliantly, with the songs often gradually building from quieter moments, to heavier walls of sound.”

We are proud to have OAK on board next year. The band will perform for the first time on the rock on Sunday, 21st July 2019 - so please welcome: OAK!

They have been waiting patiently for a long long time to perform on the rock and now we are very happy to announce that THE WINDMILL will be performing on Sunday, 21st July, presenting new material from their critically acclaimed new album "Tribus".

https://www.facebook.com/The-Windmill-142175499160527/?__tn__=K-R&eid=ARCqA0bKmqAwE0yYfTEP_hTuyMNoJ18xBhoxg9CACufPro334mnBbJKRednIZi3ecxC6nrBD4xGMSjtB&fref=mentions&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARC0x6tiXogS6eshle1ER5HJGqP3FsnO2ApHLwChz3ZwDpUYdR8L-Q5sKa5KSsSuHUky_EEZt4z4gtDqaPHWSOo5Q34tqCFrK9YvyzWsyie3WEo4ThqW_WIrY2MQPmDcfhI22aUPs-_QFCoRpCNE0Pn-_gWWAtu8xy1Pt3znb8xLPmqMOdGtn9Vai7QXocuhgTc5piwROvXvj6klhUX0lNGjD1Ew1sY_6bWl-Q-u3T0G9K5KM3XcavaAan169zSukb7RNd_eaCkEebHOvHIseJe0H-XX2npyqfiVgz580Ci6v8rAbrh1Y6OxSUC2YNO-Cux5kxsvUT8LJshb22D1C-xlaQ" rel="nofollow - The Windmill are a Norwegian progressive rock band formed in 2001 in the outskirts of Oslo. The music is symphonic neo prog influenced by several bands from the golden years of the seventies, such as Genesis, Pink Floyd, Camel and others. The debut album "To be continued ..." was released May 2010, and the follow up "The Continuation" was released in 2013 and received great reviews around the world. After 5 years, The Windmill have just released their new album "Tribus", which has got a lot of attention and great reviews throughout the progressive rock scene.

Resolutely grabbing influences from the likes of Camel, Jethro Tull and Genesis, The Windmill have blended their inspirations in an attempt to fashion their own idiosyncratic sound - like clever melodic twists loitering in many tracks.

The music on "Tribus" is a nice complicated eclectic side of neo prog, well balanced and with catchy memorable parts. Mixed and mastered by Karl Groom from Threshold this time around.

Members:
Jean Robert Viita, keys; vocal, choir
Arnfinn Isaksen; bass
Erik Borgen; guitars, vocal, choir
Morten Clason; sax, flute,guitar, vocal, choir
Stig Andrè Clason; guitar
Kristoffer Utby; Drums

We are looking forward to seeing them perform during our Festival, so please welcome on Sunday, 21st July 2019: THE WINDMILL

In addition to releasing six studio albums and a documentary DVD with no-man, Tim has worked with popular Italian artist Alice, Mercury Prize nominated Banco De Gaia, Robert Fripp, Peter Hammill and Roxy Music's Phil Manzanera (amongst many others).

Bowness’s critically acclaimed recent trio of solo releases have entered the official UK Top 10 Rock, Progressive, and Vinyl charts and 2017’s “Lost In The Ghost Light” appeared in several end of year lists and was the recipient of a Prog Magazine award.

Produced by no-man, Tim's new album “Flowers At The Scene” is a vibrant collection of 11 strikingly diverse songs. Against a backdrop of propulsive Art Rock, heartbreaking ballads and more, Tim Bowness distinctively delivers cinematic storytelling and disarmingly direct confessional lyrics on his strongest solo album to date.
Representing the duo of Tim Bowness and Steven Wilson’s first joint production in over a decade, the album features stunning performances from an extraordinary cast of players including Peter Hammill (Van Der Graaf Generator), Andy Partridge (XTC), Kevin Godley (10cc), Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree), Jim Matheos (Fates Warning/OSI), David Longdon (Big Big Train), co-producer Brian Hulse (Plenty), Australian trumpeter Ian Dixon, and drummers Tom Atherton and Dylan Howe. The Curator, David K Jones, violinist Fran Broady and Charles Grimsdale also guest.

Tim Bowness and his band (Which will basically consist of the no-man live Band minus Steven Wilson) will present tracks from the new album and some classics from the past.

We are thrilled that Tim Bowness will be part of the Night Of The Prog Experience, so please welcome, for the first time on the rock: TIM BOWNESS

big update for Friday ....

Please welcome on Friday, 19th July: TANGERINE DREAM

“QUANTUM OF ELECTRONIC EVOLUTION”

One of the biggest icons of electronic music, Tangerine Dream has painted stadium-sized soundscapes for over half a century. Founded and led by Edgar Froese, the German group has pioneered Ambient and Krautrock (or ”Kosmische Musik”), released over 100 studio albums and created over sixty film scores. Following Froese’s passing in 2015, the group’s remaining members have continued to fulfill the founder’s musical vision both through live performances and on the 2017 studio album Quantum Gate (nominated for the Prog Music Awards 2018). Froese’s widow Bianca Froese-Acquaye is working closely with the band and upholding her husband’s legacy.

Tangerine Dream have their finger on the pulse of the time: A younger generation is discovering their soundtrack compositions through the world-wide hit computer game GRAND THEFT AUTO V (GTA V) and their exciting musical appearances in Netflix series like Black Mirror – Bandersnatch or Stranger Things. Tangerine Dream has always surprised their audiences with so-called instant compositions; live improvisations like TD did in the 70’s - besides their usual repertoire of classic tracks. In 2018 a number of festival appearances at Dekmantel Amsterdam, Flow Helsinki, Ozora Hungary, MIRA Barcelona have added to a growing audience for their unique electronic improvisations.

We are thrilled that TANGERINE DREAM will be part of the Night Of The Prog Experience 2019 and be prepared to hear and see a one-off session during their set! So please welcome: TANGERINE DREAM

Chandelier is a German Neo-Prog band, which released three critically acclaimed albums on InsideOut Music in the 90ies, before calling it a day by the end of the last century. Fast forward 20 years: The albums are now being re-released, and were remastered by Grobschnitt legend Eroc.
Pure (1990) and Facing Gravity (1992) have already been reissued last year and Timecode (1997) will follow soon. These re-releases have already raised some awareness and the band decided to take things a bit further:

After 25 years, CHANDELIER will be back on stage for one night only, performing material from the three albums that placed them at the forefront of the German prog scene in the early 90ies. This exclusive reunion concert will feature four members of the original line-up - which Progressive Rock Files called «one of Europe’s most accomplished neo-progressive rock bands» and the show will center around their album Facing Gravity, featured in Eclipsed Magazine’s list of Top 40 German Prog albums.

Chandeliers original fanbase is located in Germany, France and the Netherlands and there are still many Proggers interested in the work of this fascinating band. This is a very special chance to see them live - just one more time.
This will be a special show - no further dates are planned!

Martin Eden - Vocals
Udo Lang - Guitars
Christoph Tiber - Bass
Heribert Rubarth - Drums
Armin Riemer - Keyboards

We are thrilled that CHANDELIER will be part of the Night Of The Prog Experience 2019 and be prepared to hear and see a one-off show that you won't see elsewhere! So please welcome: CHANDELIER

Their first studio album, "A Drop of Light", written by Johan Brand and Thomas Johnson (Änglagård), was released in late 2018 on AMS record. While the band was initially built for the studio, the overwhelming reception for "A Drop of Light" inspired the creation of a live band, including old friends from the Änglagård days - Erik Hammarström, Jonas Endgegård, Linus Kåse, and Daniel Borgegård Älgå.

The music of All Traps on Earth is deeply rooted in the progressive movement of the late 60s early 70s. It is powerful, full of the chaotic, the symphonic, the enchanting and the fragile. The landscapes are varied through instrumentations that includes wind instruments like the flute, saxophones of all sizes, clarinets, and walls of Mellotrons, alongside fuzz-guitar, Rhodes, Hammond organs. But it is the duo on bass and drums that steals the show!

The band will perform tracks from their studio album A Drop Of Light - but maybe also something from Änglagård at the Loreley!

MUSICIANS

Johan Brand - Bass, keyboards and vocals
Jonas Engdegård - Guitar and keyboards
Linus Kåse - Keyboards, sopran saxophone and vocals
Erik Hammarström - Drums, percussion, vocals
Daniel Borgegård Älgå - Saxophones, clarinets, flute and keyboards

We are thrilled that ALL TRAPS ON EARTH will play their first ever show at Night Of The Prog 2019! So please welcome: ALL TRAPS ON EARTH!

good and not so good news ...

The good one:

Please welcome on Saturday, 20th July: FORS

F.O.R.S. (Famous Or Random Stars) were formed in Switzerland in 2016. Four individual musicians with different backgrounds play together to create Prog Rock songs, preferably instrumental.

The style of the swiss band may be called “Instrumental sphere rock” – a banner the band created themselves. Mighty, delicate, fast, slow, atmospheric, earthly are suitable words to describe FORS` compositions. Their first – self-released – album “Before” was recorded and released in 2018, collecting 12 tracks with a running time of 76 minutes.

The band will perform tracks from their studio album "Before" and will kick off the Saturday with their performance.

MUSICIANS

Roland Hegi - Guitars
Doro Wetter - Keyboards
Harry Schärer - Bass
Felix Waldispühl - Drums

and here's the bad news:

Due to unforseen circumstances, IN CONTINUUM have to cancel their show at this year's Night Of The Prog Festival (Friday, 19th July). Both, Dave Kerzner (and his band) and the Night Of The Prog staff regret the decision and we all hope that https://www.facebook.com/incontinuumband/?__tn__=K-R&eid=ARDeGcAnyMnrs82Lepp76xKORxUgVo7c9qg4999ontI8L9_AketSF5MtJG8-8oJ8GY9Yp2A6YO4iHe5g&fref=mentions&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARCkzKCp1_PqGxe9HqDmdfnm7g698JnVf635V8qVKxErdNlwv0NimDv1_C6T59NpZTKYin9D9ilZNjEH_8nbzsfQHdMqT86Q9xq410zlPmOLnZMg2lSQFj8mj4fwb6_yjz42Sy4Exdla2YNa3dwWnTJ1ebjUQyA70mC-erBM4u3DqTca3ibrAjQlsDq-2j0W9w1l-K7Im_pwdPka7YfjYcTZhsVw62xhvm3NJHekr0CqhxUpNu7HrsBdlXKtYjUXe5QrS3mWpmSzSplvuCmb_jpnYUaVaUF3LfmgDfLpljztThz7zOcPakSlxPuW79l65CTT9fUfWuR-UKsXK2jC1w" rel="nofollow - In Continuum will be performing at Night Of The Prog in 2020 or beyond.

two more bands are announced ...

Lazuli and Special Providence

---

Please welcome on Saturday, 20th July: LAZULI

LAZULI took the audience by storm when they performed in 2009, 2012 and 2015 at Night Of The Prog. We have also fulfilled many requests by fans and LAZULI are the last addition to our line-up 2019, which is now complete!

https://www.facebook.com/Groupe.LAZULI/?__tn__=K-R&eid=ARDfYboA9HLR2u2BbPzPHQI0oEukr25FqJ-KyHN5GUNZ-v0337rTFx_h3ZTSzfQMJIK4CZBHC8HK76SB&fref=mentions&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARC6timXQIHLqxp0JWeO2PUXzibcNMohAOVodylonnR9b-TE9jTb1CYiI0H8zzipY5nRtY2hBFTtZXoX11u3relGi6iqaTyMvkHP4kxAbCCsWZ_S1DqjbhwKCQ9qeByhdv8teuXL90I9YJc5WGa8v0_LSxZ1PZ7ZT1uIzKN_lvIw98M_iks6yUHYc4QKEuCCl2Yl9BApaWlApJh9L1Aj9vT3bIP_kg-uzWUhuy-FpkD3maa3vEfm2zwndwnLwyQbLMIhiILfGfO9RQngCToAWwZkS3HMgrTH4T7yfmhSRVOJn0Tf5deWK5UOWmruXE5kBOEfsruJ4qHd_VyIs9UspeUdPw" rel="nofollow - Lazuli , a band from the south of France, was formed in 1998. Somewhere between rock, progressive rock and world music, poetry and travel, the remarkable music of Lazuli visit new territories with a rather unusual instrumentation: marimba, French Horn, drums, percussions, guitars, vocals... But also and especially a unique instrument created by Claude Leonetti: the Léode). For Lazuli's musicians, songs are canvases on which they mix colors to paint their own world. The floating voice, playing with words, sings out ‘man’ in all of his facets. Lazuli brings atypical notes of originality to France's musical scene and carries them across it’s borders... On stage, Lazuli uplifts and bewitches...

Lazuli's latest album, "Saison 8", was released last year.

MUSICIANS

Gédéric BYAR - Guitar
Romain THOREL - Keyboards & French horn
Vincent BARNAVOL - Drums, Percussion & Marimba
Claude LEONETTI - LÈode
Dominique LEONETTI - Vocals, 6 & 12 String Guitars

We are very happy that LAZULI will once again be part of Night Of The Prog 2019!
So please welcome on Saturday, LAZULI!

Please welcome on Friday, 19th July: SPECIAL PROVIDENCE

https://www.facebook.com/SpecialProvidence/?__tn__=K-R&eid=ARCBG33hLI5B0bmJ3t6VR-Uu7d9svdLyRje509EeibQ-34DsUT6R6naD6KGm03QyZTqEkBUpZMVqK-Xy&fref=mentions&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARDcCmHpR8qo4oYUZL1MuVwybJM1krs10nrVJEFavB4Tjzzre4kIs3Mkz_XQE5rE5-_pWPEX4PSuih33bLgJS5jYgoyHosdwTSlP2hxYzHpvf0Alo2_yamol8IJSQquaqVvzizUaufaR6N--ON_i7alzy8_f3NCxJR2NAea8kBWugPqZw5-9bCwZwD3DJPsU0jKDaIxAm_tMnCLJCCmoxWFZ-Jl5Oq-0izA7GhcHRfaXSzlmUElYAnsGPI3Rck4fHDK8KvPJgYl73y-nzgCutli-L37aEALOg2oz89MsxWRyenMKwHW1guVUy1TShOu6Bq3UDZ5gzf7UtOMxPxy-KE4K2Q" rel="nofollow - SPECIAL PROVIDENCE played at Night Of The Prog in 2015 and we all remember they earned an enthusiastic response from the crowd - and they promised to bring enough CDs this year!

With their virtuoso yet easily digestable style, Special Providence from Hungary are one of the best known modern instrumental bands in Europe. With an emphasis on good tunes rather than endless flashy soloing, the band has created a unique style – a mixture of modern jazz, progressive rock/metal and electronica – which manages to impress and engage the listener both at the same time. Their dynamic stage presence makes them a captivating live act, with performances on the major prog festivals worldwide and successful tours, performances with bands like HAKEN, SPOCK’S BEARD, DREAM THEATER and many others.

Their most recent album is "Will" from 2017 and this could be their most progressive work so far. The band has signed to GEP records just two years earlier. For their performance, they will focus on this album plus some stuff from earlier albums.

MUSICIANS

Adam Marko - Drums
Attila Fehervari - Bass
Zsolt Kaltenecker - Keyboards
Alek Darson - Guitars

We look forward to having SPECIAL PROVIDENCE at Night Of The Prog 2019!
So please welcome on Friday, SPECIAL PROVIDENCE!
