CalProg is proud to announce that the Swedish progressive rock giant 'The Flower Kings' will be headlining CalProg '05 on June 4, 2005. Roine Stolt and company will be bringing their immense talent to SoCal for this second annual all day festival in Whittier, California. The Flower Kings have been a major force in prog music for many years, but they have made only a handful of appearances on the West Coast of the United States. We are really looking forward to this rare appearance.

Also on the bill is the New York based art-rock band 'Izz', who
turned in a stellar performance last year, and are being brought back by popular demand.

JUST ADDED!!! Bubblemath out of Minneapolis will bring their quirky brand of prog to the second slot of the show. Though their music is hard to describe, it's like a cross between Gentle Gaint and Devo with a hint of Frank Zappa lounge singer tossed in. These guys are FUN and they're going to blow away an unsuspecting crowd!

In the coming days we hope to announce the final act for the festival in the main room, so stay tuned. We strive to offer an interesting diversity within the progressive rock genre, providing a day of music with something for everyone.

Also new this year at CalProg will be an outdoor stage where acoustic acts will perform during breaks and set changes on the
main stage. Look for details to be posted at www.calprog.com
soon.
