The 7th edition of the Night of the Prog festival is set to take place on July 7th and 8th 2012. The festival includes a mix of progressive rock, AOR and heavy metal bands (prog metal). Night of the Prog is staged at Loreley (Germany), a UNESCO world heritage site, which has one of the most outstanding open air amphitheaters in Europe, high above the river Rhine.
The line-up this year includes Frequency Drift, Enochian Theory, Hasse Fröberg & The Musical Companion, Airbag, Lazuli, Sylvan, Haken, The Flower Kings, Arena, Spock´s Beard, Steve Hackett, Saga and Katatonia. 12 of 13 bands are confirmed.
The highlights of the past 6 years have been the appearances of Eloy, Fish, Asia, Jethro Tull, Roger Hodgson, Steve Hackett, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, and Marillion.
“The tradition to supply a stage for young and emergent bands is one of our major tasks,” says Winfried Völklein of WiV Entertainment GmbH. “To give them the chance to play in front of thousands of people will definitely help to create a career.”
