"*Day 2 Roster Update*

I am proud to welcome Earthside to the ProgPower USA family, performing on Day 2. Their unique brand of cinematic progressive metal is one of the most creative and captivating offerings in the scene. They’ve been on the festival’s radar for many years, and I have no doubts our audience will be stunned.

Huge thanks to the band and their entire team for the quick confirmation.

PS. Only a few dozen tix left for Day 2..."

MONUMENTS Goes On Indefinite Hiatus As JOHN BROWNE Deals With Health Issues​

"... Monuments has sadly gone on indefinite hiatus due to guitarist and songwriter John Browne dealing with Ankylosing Spondylitis. Monuments has dropped off their upcoming tour with Leprous and Fight The Fight, and will not continue writing new music until Browne is doing better. We wish Browne all the best and hope to see Monuments back out there when they're able to do so..."

Dear friends, fans and supporters, It‘s with great sadness that we must announce that we will not be able to play the upcoming US tour together with Leprous and Fight The Fight. We are also halting the songwriting process for M5 for the time being.

As some of you are aware, Browne was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis a few years ago. To get his condition under control and in the right direction he’ll be spending a bit of time to make it more comfortable to live with. For now, we’ll be on indefinite hiatus until it’s under control. Please keep the Monuments flag flying high until we return.
