info just in from Steve.... 
For the calendar 
Progrock 2009 - the first edition of the festival
Metal Mind Productions is proud to announce the first edition of the progressive rock festival - Progrock 2009.
Katowice slowly becomes the most important mark on the map of the current progressive rock scene in Poland. The fantastic stage at the Wyspianski Theatre has witnessed live shows of many important bands like Pendragon, Credo, Final Conflict, SBB, Satellite, Arena, Landmarq, Galahad, Caamora… The shows at the theatre are acquireing a cult status among the fans of progressive rock, but also among the Artists themselves - the Wyspianski Theatre turned out to be not only a convenient place for such shows but also a very atmospheric, magical place. There will be another chance to prove it in February 2009 during the two day’s Festival – Progrock 2009.

That Roadburn Festival in Netherlands is an absolutely sick lineup....Neurosis personally invited 15 out the 47 bands on that festival...
Really wish I could attend.

Ok good folks...I have updated the European Rolling Calendar to the best of my ability, although the word 'skeleton' springs to mind, when looking at the listings.... 
During 2008, I was aware of at least 5/6 prog festivals which were cancelled owing to poor ticket sales, and I think that the economic downturn might have something to do with the lack of plans and information for some of the festivals in the first part of 2009.
that said, I will update as and when I am able, but I would be grateful if you could help me by supplying info in this thread, and thereby supporting the festivals as much as possible, during what could be a very difficult year for live music... 
very best regards to you all...
fanny...

I hate reading down these types of thread because it just makes me Jealous Jealous Jealous. You guys over the pond don`t know how lucky you are. Great shows are a thing of the distant past where I live in Montréal. The political climate seems to be the biggest culprit unfortunately. The thing that saddens me  is that these bands from the seventies aren`t getting any younger and neither am I for that matter. I`m seriously thinking of trying to get over to the UK or Europe to see Amon Duul II next year once the dates are finalised.

I've just come back from the psychedelic exhibition in Bordeaux:quite good but some mistakes and I had too much high expectations.But it was low priced and there were good moments such as Expo 70,pure kosmische!Steve Gunn acoustic psych/folk with a strong Popol Vuh vibe and Tim Buckley influences or Endless Boogie,electric and heavy space rock good stuff.The climax was Ame Son's concert:wow!Too short(more or less 30 minutes)but the minutes were of the highest quality with this great psych folk .The flutist was really good,Marc Blanc did very fine stuff on drums,the guitarist was good too.Great remembrance since it was a really special event for me.A true time travel!

If anyone is interested in about Bordeaux's CAPC's exhibition on psychedelic movement,he has to go to EXPO 70's myspace page in the upcoming shows section:look at 28th november concert,line up and prices(quite low) will be given.

Progrésiste's over:  .I came back tuesday morning,less money on my bank account but good remembrance!It was great talking with other proggers.Balloon(NL)did good stuff with his psych/space rock à la Porcupine Tree/Pink Floyd and they rocked!Periferia Del Mondo:nice jazz rock fusion from Italy,solid musicianship,a nice moment.Moon Safari from Sweden play and sing well but it's too soft for my taste.Aries from Italy did a nice showcase.Gazpacho from Norway was rather dull.Sunday:Cecilia Eyes from Belgium has potential but it is not my cup of tea.Conqueror with his superb symphonic prog+hints of space rock reached the top:best concert of the festival for me.On the contrary Pure Reason Revolution was appalling,no soul,bad singer,heavy sound with no power!Great moment but I think the organisation should introduce at least one weird band.The line up was better last year but the event still is worth a try!
