›The 42 Days of the Prog‹ – A Pictorial History of the ›Night of the Prog‹
GERMAN ENGLISH
The final ›Night of the Prog‹ Festival took place on the Loreley in July 2024.
This marks the end of the biggest prog festival of our time, and of an entire era.
Empire Music is publishing a lavish photo art book illustrating the full history of this extraordinary festival, with photo galleries on over 200 pages!
The pre-sale (subscription) of our photo book has ended! We would like to thank all those who pre-ordered, your purchases made the production of our book possible in the first place. The book is expected to be published in November, all pre-orders will be manufactured and delivered, and the remaining copies will then go on general sale in November at the regular publisher price of €69. More information and updates will be published here on this page.
Not just the special stars and headliners – the heart and soul of this unique festival has always come from all of the artists. So our huge book features all of the participants, from the hopeful newcomers under the hot midday sun to the superstars in the deep dark of night.
At the end of the final festival this year, there have been 188 acts and 258 performances.
Seven photographers officially registered and legally accredited for us have documented all performances for the magazine from the very beginning and are now sharing their best photos to serve as a memento for audiences, as well as those who stayed at home, and giving everyone an impressive picture of the festival’s entire history.
A picture is worth a thousand words, and here the photos will tell it all...
Book Production
The book will be published until the end of 2024 and estimated shipping will be in November.
Of course, all of this year’s performances at the final festival in 2024 will be professionally photographed yet again and the photos will be included in the book.
