Nine Inch Nails, Front 242 — not exactly the first references one associates with ProgPower Europe.
But those are precisely the names that keep popping up when reviews of the new Sister May album VII appear.

We didn’t highlight this album at release time, and honestly, we should have.
So let’s make up for that now: VII is an absolutely stunning record — intense, atmospheric, industrial, and surprisingly mature, especially considering this is only the band’s second album.

Sister May have carved out a sound that is dark, electronic, rhythm‑driven, and unmistakably their own. It’s bold, it’s creative, and it deserves your attention.

If you haven’t heard VII yet, now is the perfect moment to dive in.

ProgPower Europe, 26 editions of small greatness!

30/04/2026

When PreHistoric Animals played ProgPower Europe in 2019, they had released just one album and were preparing for their second. A lot has changed since then.

Today, the band has 4 albums to their name, with a fifth on the way. The first single from that upcoming record already shows a lot of promise — fresh ideas, strong melodies, and that unmistakable PreHistoric Animals sound.

A perfect reason to invite them back to our stage, and we’re happy they agreed.
We look forward to welcoming them to Baarlo once again.

Prehistoric Animals will be playing on Saturday 3 October (20:05-21:15)

A burst of fresh energy is coming your way! Royal Sorrow will be playing ProgPower Europe 2026!

Finnish Royal Sorrow hit the ground running after forming in 2022 and signing with Inside Out Music. In the autumn of 2025 they released their debut album Innerdeeps, a record that showcases their energetic blend of prog metal with a catchy electronic edge. About a year earlier, the band introduced themselves with the single Metrograve, a track that made many listeners curious for what would follow.

We are looking forward to seeing Royal Sorrow open ProgPower Europe Sunday!

We love bringing new and ambitious prog metal to our stage, so we are happy to announce the Norwegian band Terravia to ProgPower Europe 2026!

Hailing from Trondheim, Terravia formed in 2021 and have been steadily shaping their sound ever since. They stepped onto the stage in early 2025 and even had the chance to support Conception.

Their debut album A New World, released on March 2, 2026, showcases exactly why we’re excited to bring them to Baarlo. Terravia blend long, dynamic compositions with shifting time signatures, complex arrangements, and memorable melodies. The band is influenced by Dream Theater, Opeth, and Haken, wrapped in a playful mix of jazz, classical, and folk.

Terravia will be playing on Saturday 3 October, 16.30 – 17.30, come join us!

Einar Solberg does not really need an introduction. The Leprous frontman climbed the ProgPower stage before with Leprous. In 2026 Einar Solberg (with his own band), will be on the stage at Midsummer Prog and a headlining Sunday evening show at ProgPower Europe 2026. These will be the only 2 shows in The Netherlands in 2026!

More to come within the next couple of weeks.
