A new progressive music festival in Montreal:
Le Festival des Musiques Progressives de Montréal (FMPM)
It has long been the dream of many Montrealers to have a progressive music festival of their own right here... thanks to ProgQuébec and Unicorn Digital, it is now a reality!

Friday, September 15 and Saturday, September 16 2006 at the Gesù - Centre de Créativité (1200 De Bleury Street, Montreal, QC), get ready for the First Annual Edition of Le Festival des Musiques Progressives de Montréal!

The featured artists during this two-day festival will be: Miriodor, Jérôme Langlois (of Maneige), Kaos Moon, Karcius, Hatfield and the North and Echolyn.

Tickets will be put on sale Saturday, April 1st at 10:00 AM. Regular tickets will be $80 (CAN) and special Gold tickets* will be $130 (CAN). Regular tickets will be available through the ProgQuébec website, as well as from Admission. Gold tickets will be available exclusively from the ProgQuébec website.

FMPM's goal is to work closely with Quebec artists, promoters and passionate fans to create a friendly, engaging event that will enrich the progressive music scene, by exposing more local artists to more fans, and enabling deeper and more lasting connections to be made.

There will be a host of activities surrounding the festival, including a pre-show on Thursday September 14 featuring Hamadryad. The festival's official website will be put online in a day or two, and will include all you want to know about this great new festival.

In addition of helping grow the progressive musical scene in Quebec and helping Quebec artists gain international recognition, establishing a stable festival in Montreal will allow more opportunities for bands outside Quebec to come here to perform. This will create a stronger local scene for prog bands touring Quebec outside of the FMPM, and will create a larger base in Quebec of people who are aware of the entire current prog scene and festival circuit (NEARFest, ProgDay, RoSFest, BajaProg, etc.).

* Gold tickets will be available in very limited quantities (78) and carry many advantages: they entitle you to the seats closest to the stage (the first six row), they also entitle to the special aftershow "Artists VIP Party" on day one, and the "Quebec's Progressive Pionners Symposium" on day two, and perhaps most importantly, contribute financially to the festival in order to ensure future events and permit FMPM to provide such a great selection of local and international artist for the 2006 edition and future events.

And of course, keep an eye on this site for the latest word on FMPM!

That will be incredible

Wow, great news! Just being an hour and a half down the highway will ensure I will be there. I have always admired how strong the prog scene in Quebec is - now I've got to go out and get a couple of CD's and brush up on the music...

Je viens justement d'apprendre la nouvelle par l'entremise de ProgMontréal... j'en étais bouche bée ! J'espère que septembre va venir vite, j'en peux plus !

Voir Hatfield and the North avec leur formation originale en spectacle dans ma province, c'est mental !!!

Je vais sûrement m'arranger pour voir le preshow avec Hamadryad et j'te saluerai, Sébastien !

Sur une autre note, J'ai vu le spectacle d'IQ a montréal, l'été dernier et vous étiez en première partie. J'ai été époustouflé par votre performance, bravo les gars !

Au fait, je m'apelle Sébastien moi aussi, héhé  , j'viendrai te saluer

Bref, ça fait du bien de voir que la scène progressive reprend de sa force originelle au Québec, dommage que j'n'étais pas né pour voir ça dans les années 70...

 

Vive le Prog !

Au plaisir de te rencontré!

Cé pas pour casser votre fun mais je ne pense pas que ce sera la formation originale de Hatfield.J'ai entendu dire que Dave Stewart ne faisais pas parti de la reformation.

Mais c,est pas grave,ca va etre écoeurant quand'meme!

Apres moi je pars travailler en France tout l'été mais je vais essayer d'aller voir Hamadryad au Festival Cresendo, me donnant un avant goût ainsi avant le FMPM

Cool! Tu viendras me dire un petit bonjour soit au FMPM, au Crescendo ou au Café Chaos.

Je devrais également aller voir le spectacle de Karcius au lancement de leur nouvel album.

D'ailleurs, un autre événement prog à Montréal sera le 2 Juin, Enregistrement d'un Album Live+DVD de Hamadryad au Plaza Théatre!

Moi c'est sûr que je vais être là! Bravo les gars, vous faites du méchant beau travail!

Et en passant, je trouve ça vraiment cool de converser en français sur ProgArchives. Je savais pas qu'on était autant de québecois

RIP in bossa nova heaven.
