ProgPower Europe (formerly ProgPower) is a progressive metal festival held annually in the Netherlands since 1999. The latest edition, the 18th, was held at Sjiwa in Baarlo from 30 September – 2 October 2016. Headliners were Jolly, Textures and Threshold.
The beginnings of ProgPower Europe started in November 1998 by René Janssen (mostly known from his activities for the Dutch Progressive Rock Pages) decided the time had come for a special event in the progressive metal scene. So he started looking around for other prog metal fans who would be willing to organise a festival with him. The first ProgPower Europe took place in November 1999 at 013 in Tilburg, Netherlands. All the follow on events have taken place at Sjiwa in Baarlo, Netherlands.
