The Progspace 10th Anniversary Show

Airbag @ Poppodium 013 Tilburg – May 24, 2026

Airbag – melancholy, atmosphere and controlled intensity at 013 Next Summary In a well-filled 013 Next, Airbag delivered an intensely atmospheric performance built around melancholy, slow-burning tension and musical refinement. Following a strong opening set by Lesoir...

Lesoir @ Poppodium 013 Tilburg, May 24, 2026

Lesoir reveals renewed power in a packed 013 Next As support act for Airbag, Lesoir was given roughly forty minutes on stage in a packed 013 Next, but that proved more than enough to leave a remarkably strong impression. The band from Maastricht presented itself in...

Sum of Seven – Echoes of the Hypermind

Picking my favourite tracks was difficult because there isn’t a bad one amongst them. Influences are inevitable and sometimes obvious here and there but that doesn’t diminish the fact that this is a great album.

Albums

Latest

Frogg – Eclipse

There is no denying that there is a lot of talent on show here. Frogg obviously have a desire to produce something unusual and it will be interesting to see where they go from here.

The Five Hundred – Ghostwriter

This is an album that showcases The Five Hundred’s willingness to push boundaries and explore new musical territories. I’m sure they must be very happy with the results of their hard work. Hopefully this will inspire them to evolve even further and I for one can’t wait to see where this exciting band goes next.

Distant Dream – The End of the World We Know

Distant Dream isn’t trying to blow minds, break records or reinvent the wheel in any way. They’re more in the business of providing pleasant emotional value and superb sound quality, for a fully immersive listening experience.

Paul Sadler – The Irrational EP

This man never fails to impress with his musicality. Whether it be extreme or melodic and everything in-between, it is always accomplished and professional. I am sure some of you are hoping for a resurgence of Spires like I am. For now though, whatever he chooses to compose is just fine by me, because the quality is guaranteed. Who knows what will be next? Whatever it is, it’s bound to be worth waiting for.

Dream Theater – Parasomnia

Hopefully there will be much more to come from Dream Theater. If this album is representative of their future musical direction, then count me in for the ride.

SPACE Quartet in Tienen – Progressive Spirit, Pure Improvisation

At first glance, SPACE Quartet might not seem like an obvious feature for an international progressive rock platform. A Belgian improvisation collective built around an electric sitar does not fit neatly into the conventional prog canon. Yet that is precisely why...
