European Prog Festivals: Rolling Calendar - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Even if talked about in another thread, your list should say that the RIO festival in Carmaux may be cancelled or postponned in september.

^^nice one, FF...

if you don't mind my saying so, that would be worthy of a thread of its own, in the Press Releases section, together with a live link, if there is one....I just think it would get some more attention, that way...

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

I came back from the Crescendo Festival last sunday:wow!The line up was varied and terrific and I saw

great concerts,here is my top 4:1 Turzi,2 Flor de Loto,3 Wicked Minds,4 Hypnos 69.I would like to praise

Turzi for they were outstanding.When they started playing,the big spaceship took off and the spectator was

ready to experience the ultimate trip to the cosmos.St Palais didn't exist anymore and minds were blown

away by powerful motorik drumming and sounds from outer space thanks to Tim Blake the cosmic messenger.Moreover one could feel like being part of the Music,having visions of the Silver Surfer,seeing

Jack Kirby's drawings.Anxiety was here too with the utterly dark vibrations reminding us of Ergun the drifter,

a spacebound soldier from Didier Comés'wonderful comic books.When the audience thought landing was

soon,climax was actually coming to the fore with this impression of reaching a cold city overloaded of Morricone influenced psychedelic noise and a second after being destroyed by extreme space kraut!Still

haunting 4 days later!A trilogy is being released by Turzi:A,B,C.The first one A was out in June 2007,B will be in stores in january 2009 and C(too early to know).Distributed by Record Makers,highly recommended

to Can and Ennio Morricone fans!

yes... with the greatest respect, 3 bands during an evening constitutes a 'gig' rather than a 'festival' to be honest... I had predetermined that for inclusion, the minimum would have to be 4 bands over an afternoon and evening... otherwise, the doors would be open for me having to list every prog gig known to man...and I'll be here 'til doomsday....

could you start its own thread, Rach?? many thanks....

..I shall revisit this thread in the late autumn to start on the 2009 calendar, if people think this continues to be a worthwhile service for PA.

The festival calenders that you do here are probably one of the resources I use most on PA now Fanny!

Keep it up, I know there is a lot of work involved, but it's greatly appreciated!

(appreciated by me any way!

I came back from Burg Herzberg at half past midnight:great fun because there were good vibes all over the

place but the schedule was eventually disappointing with Grobschnitt below average and a psych/kraut free Guru Guru(Kawabata Makoto's kraut power never escaped from his mind),moreover there were two awful reggae bands.I would have prefered a psych/prog/fusion/zeuhl/kraut event but people were nice(I met so many interesting persons) and I saw great concerts:QOPH(smoking!!!!),Anthurus d'Archer(so weird and so good!),Hypnos 69(great!),Sebka Chott(good crazy music!),Motorpsycho(heavy side of life!),Siena Root(rock'n roll!) and Litmus(fun to see this Hawkwind styled band!).Moreover musicians were really friendly:I didn't regret such a long way(1500 kilometers from my hometown).
