An eclectic and varied lineup that include from exquisite compositions and sound of Steven Wilson to the most convoluted and experimental psychedelia of Magma, through the elegance of an Opeth in apparent state of grace.
Both Steven Wilson and Opeth will offer unique and extensive shows of aprox two hours each, to achieve maximum enjoyment of their music alive and, who knows, maybe a special surprise J
Opeth and Steven Wilson would like to share some words about this edition of Be Prog!:
"This is going to be a very special day, almost like a family event for me, with so many of my friends and favourite bands appearing on the same stage, and in such a beautiful location. I look forward to getting blown off stage by Opeth and Magma as expected! "- Steven Wilson
”We’re very happy to return to the Be Prog! My Friend festival. Beautiful site. Great line-up. Many friends there. It’ll be a memorable event for me as a musician but also as a fan. I mean Magma, Steven Wilson, Anneke and Bruce Soord and his posse. What can go wrong? Absolutely nothing! It will be great!” - Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth)
From the other side of the Atlantic we’ll have Between The Buried And Me, presenting their incredible new album "Coma Ecliptic". Back to old continent, names like Textures, presenting a new release, Bruce Soord with The Pineapple Thief, Icelanders Agent Fresco and the beauty Anneke Van Giersbergen with The Gentle Storm.
But this year could not miss the local representation and we’ll have the good fortune to delight two great and absolutely international bands. On one hand Obsidian Kingdom will present their highly anticipated new album "A Year With No Summer" and on the other catalans Exxasens promise to offer a spectacular performance.
Before you an ambitious line up that consolidates a unique festival, dedicated to a unique public. Be Prog! My Friend.
