Spain’s Be Prog! My Friend Festival has announced its return after a five-year absence!
The event will be headlined by the UK’s Haken and Swedish Prog Rockers Pain Of Salvation, the event will take place at La Carpa in Poble Espanyol in Barcelona on September 28 and 29.
“We present the eight bands that will be part of this year’s Be Prog! My Friend, an eclectic lineup that maintains the essence of the festival we’ve missed so much,” the organisers say. “Pain Of Salvation and Haken will headline both days of the event, while bands like Dødheimsgard or Pure Reason Revolution will delight fans of progressive sounds. We’ll have local representation with Obsidian Kingdom and Todomol, and we’ll be able to enjoy unique projects like Martín Mendéz’s White Stones or Kingcrow.“
Haken will be performing their “An Evening With Haken” live show, while local boys Obsidian Kingdom will be performing their 2014 debut album “Mantiis” in its entirety.
The venue, while still in the open-air architectural museum Poble Espanyol, is now in a different area of the museum with a capacity of 1000. Each day will see four acts perform, with doors opening at 4pm, bands starting at around 4.50pm and ending at approx. 11.30pm.
Weekend tickets are priced at €100.
It was only a matter of time for Be Prog! to return. After five editions in which numerous first class artists played, the project found its end in 2018 as it was not economically viable. But after much reflection, we have decided to return with a format that we hope will make this very special encounter sustainable over time. For many of us, some of the concerts at Be Prog! were among the most specials we have witnessed in our lives, and we cannot ignore that. Many factors made Be Prog! a unique event; the bands, the environment, the atmosphere created by YOU, all of those elements created a special and extraordinary experience and this is why we feel that the festival has to come back and become an essential event where we can all meet every year surrounded by the best bands and the best atmosphere. :V
