The experience
What's special
ProgPower USA is North America's premier progressive and power metal festival, held each September at Center Stage in Atlanta, Georgia. Curated for more than two decades by founder Glenn Harveston, it is known for booking European bands that rarely tour the States, full-album 'special sets,' and generous extras, autograph sessions, meet-and-greets and reunions, that give it a tight-knit, 'Family' feel. The 2026 edition (XXV) is billed as the founder's final year, with longtime team members expected to carry the festival forward.
What people love
Devotees describe an exceptionally well-run festival with a warm, 'Family' atmosphere that regulars compare to a comic convention as much as a concert. They praise the spectacular lineups and long sets in a great-sounding venue, the fair pricing given rising visa costs, and thoughtful touches like free water, in-and-out privileges, included meet-and-greets and standout staff. Recommendation and repeat-attendance rates are very high, and the event routinely sells out.
Last time around (2025)
The most recent edition, ProgPower USA XXIV, took place in September 2025 at Center Stage in Atlanta. Attendees called it a strong year with one of the better recent lineups and the festival's trademark friendly, community atmosphere.
