BIG UPDATE! The Progspace 10th Anniversary Show
SURPRISE! In an unexpected double twist of events, we found ourselves in a position that left us only one choice: to make our 10th anniversary show even bigger!
We are thrilled to welcome Denmark’s Feather Mountain to the lineup. Their third album “A Liminal Step” (2025) blends progressive metal with electronic avant-garde elements. Having played Roskilde Festival and ProgPower Europe, and toured with VOLA in 2024, they have been steadily building their presence across Denmark and beyond, including multiple Copenhagen shows in recent months. We are very excited to have them join us for this celebration!
Feather Mountain is beyond thrilled to have been invited to the anniversary of The Progspace. It feels like “coming home” whenever we play in the Netherlands, and we’re huge fans of the entire lineup of artists. We can’t wait to be back and spend time with the best metal community in the world. / Andreas Dahl-Blumenberg – Feather Mountain
Completing an insane triplet of co-headliners alongside IHLO and Persefone, we are incredibly proud to announce Sweden’s An Abstract Illusion. The Swedish progressive death metal quartet have been on our radar since their early releases. From their 2016 debut “Illuminate the Path”, through the critically acclaimed “Woe” (2022) and their most recent 2025 breakthrough “The Sleeping City” (2025), they have built a reputation as one of the most emotionally powerful and ambitious bands blending progressive metal, atmospheric death metal, and a powerful cinematic sound. We’re so happy to welcome them to our anniversary show!
“We’re super excited to once again return to the Netherlands and co-headline this show with the excellent Persefone and IHLO! Happy to be joined by such great acts, especially our friends in Feather Mountain. It’ll be great getting to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Progspace, a site that’s been a great ally in our career. Hope to see a lot of you there!” / Karl Westerlund – An Abstract Illusion
