Festival Line-Up 2019

^ Are you going? I'd be only interested in seeing Wobbler, so I think I'll pass this year. Bringing Bent Knee one year and Courtney Swain the next was not a good choice, in my opinion. And why do they insist in bringing Portuguese solo artists (and others that have nothing to do with Rock music) when we have many great Prog bands that would really appreciate the oportunity to play there? 

The New Day Festival is a great festival if you are interested in just having a good experience and are flexible about the actual music on show. Last year Hawkwind headlined and they were crap but never mind. Good company , good beer and very nice food.

Les Intemporelles - Slow Music Festival - Soignies Belgium - May 4th

Stéphane Galland (Aka Moon) & (The Mystery of) Kem

Etienne Jaumet

Sighfire

Sea Song(e)s

therein is the rub.. progday is not really about 'prog' what it is is about progressive and since most Neo bands are as progressive as Donald f**king Trump or my left toe and sound like recycled crap... no wonder they really don't have much live support outside of specific festivals geared to those who WANT to someone piss in their beer and spoil the party by playing music that puts people to f**king sleep! hah.

Just looked at the website and I admit I was maybe a bit out of line there or at least unintentionally exaggerating out of not being up to speed on things. They do get symph stuff and I see they had Par Lindh and Edensong recently. I guess I was referring more to the typical neo stuff which is understandable since most prog fans like to make fun of it. IMO, Progday is mostly a festival for prog purists and I can see that not going over too well there. Anyway, despite my previous involvement(a long time ago now) I have been out of the loop and don't follow it that closely and don't even know much about most of these bands so I'm probably talking out of my butt except for the part about them typically not booking neo bands. LOL.
