That Joe Payne will light on the Pre-Party for ProgPower Europe 25th anniversary edition!
An Evening with That Joe Payne & Friends
The Chapel, Kasteel De Berckt, Baarlo, Netherlands
Thursday, October 2nd, 2025. 9:30 PM – 11:30 PM
We at The Progspace are thrilled to co-host this year’s official ProgPower Europe Pre-Party, a night of heartfelt music and connection featuring none other than the incredible That Joe Payne.
Known for his five-octave vocal range, captivating showmanship, and deeply emotional performances, Joe returns to the Netherlands for a rare acoustic evening, joined by guitarist Joshua Ryan and a few surprise guests from the progressive music world (to be announced soon).
Taking place in the intimate setting of The Chapel at Kasteel De Berckt, this exclusive show will blend Joe’s most cherished original songs with moving covers, all delivered in a stripped-down, emotionally raw format that puts the music and meaning front and center.
✨ This night is more than just a warm-up for the festival, it’s a statement of what makes this scene special: community, creativity, and the power of music to bring us together. ✨
Joe’s return follows his memorable 2024 Progproms appearance and builds on his celebrated history in the Netherlands, from Progdreams Festival to the Marillion Weekend. With accolades like Best Male Vocalist (twice, Prog Magazine readers) and a Progspace Award for Best Progressive Rock Album with Jordan Rudess in 2024, Joe continues to inspire audiences with his artistry and advocacy alike.
