Prog Rock Fest Paris 2025 – Win Two Tickets!
26–27 September 2025 | Paris, France
The first edition of Prog Rock Fest Paris 2025 promises to be an unmissable celebration of progressive rock music – and you could be there for free!
Held in one of Paris’s most iconic music venues, the festival brings together legendary and emerging acts from across Europe for two days of mesmerising performances inspired by the greats such as Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, and Marillion.
Cédric Segal of Akayama prod explains: "I genuinely wanted to bring together prog bands that really complement each other. First of all, IQ, whom I discovered recently and who absolutely blew me away. I just can’t understand how such intricate and melodic music has managed to slip under the mainstream radar. Then there’s The Watch and RPWL, who carry the legacy of Genesis and Pink Floyd respectively, and finally Karnataka, for Sertari’s exceptional voice and their Celtic influences. I’m extremely proud of this line-up."
