5. Night of the Prog Festival |
|
It took this young festival only 4 editions to raise to one of the leading progressive rock festivals in Europe - or probably even the world. The 4rd Night Of The Prog Festival in 2008 had more than 4.000 attending fans.
Next to the music and bands that have taken part at the festival editions, the main reason for the success is simply the location! The UNESCO world heritage Loreley is one of the most outstanding open air amphitheaters in Europe. High above the river Rhine, the visitors are overwhelmed by the beautiful surrounding area.

The Norwegian band Gazpacho has been described by one critic as being "classical post ambient nocturnal atmospheric folk world rock". Putting them in a single genre is not really possible, although bands such like Radiohead, Muse, Marillion, Talk Talk or Porcupine Tree have been named. Before "Night" (2007), Gazpacho's three previous albums "Bravo" (2003), "When Earth Lets Go" (2004) and "Firebird" (2005) were launched entirely on their own merit and awareness spread by "word of mouth" throughout the world. It didn’t take long before they had debuted in the Dutch indie charts at #6, and hit #1 three times on Mp3.com, won international songwriter competitions, got playlistings on national radio in several countries, were offered a support slot throughout Europe, voted as the top 10 album(s) of the year for over 6 months on various sites: and a general 'good vibe' was spreading about Gazpacho underground.
