Dear Midsummer Proggers!We can finally reveal our line-up!
It’s been a bit of a journey, mainly because we got the amazing opportunity to land Tesseract. That did mean we had to shift the festival by one day — so for 2026, Midsummer Prog will take place on Saturday and Sunday, June 20 & 21.
We’re looking at Friday for a special pre-festival evening — not an extra festival day, but a great concert evening where we can already raise a glass together and toast to a beautiful Midsummer Prog weekend with you, our beloved prog family.
Tickets for the pre-festival evening and more info soon!
For 2026, we’ve once again secured an outstanding selection of artists:
* Geoff Tate (20/6), performing Operation: Mindcrime in its entirety
* Tesseract (21/6)
* Einar Solberg (20/6)
* Polish prog heroes Amarok (21/6) and Quidam (20/6)
* UK neo-proggers Cyan (21/6)
* Dutch eccentrics Blowbeat (20/6), inspired by Zappa
* Cinematic post/prog from Ireland: Overhead, The Albatross (21/6)
* Italian prog metallers Benthos (20/6)
* US amazing prog band Ok Goodnight (20/6)
* And local metal proggers Ursa (21/6) from Belgium
All in all, a richly varied menu within the genre we love — classic Midsummer Prog, guaranteed to be a celebration!
