We're very happy to announce that this year's installment of PROGPOWER SCANDINAVIA will take place on September 25th/26th at VEGA, the premium rock venue in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Our reasons behind moving away from The Rock and to Vega are that we want to provide a near-perfect festival in a great sounding environment with all the possible benefits for the performing artists. While The Rock has been extremely kind to us in our first 2 years of existence, we've also become aware of the problems by using that venue: the capacity only holds 600 people compared to the 1.500 (1.100 without the balcony) in Vega, the backstage area at The Rock doesn't live up to a full two-day festival with 10 bands running through the backstage rooms all the time, and also we feel that for a festival this size, we do need the best possible sound and light to please your ears and eyes with. Vega lives up to the criteria we have set for the festival at this point in time.
With that said, we do appreciate the great support The Rock has been giving us, and we're most likely planning both a pre-party AND after-parties to be held at The Rock.
We will begin to announce the bands from next week - there are a bunch of surprises waiting for you all
Within a few weeks we should be able to give you more information on when tickets go onsale.
