Since the band we had previously approached to fill the preheadlinerspot unfortunately had to cancel, there was a bit of a scramble to find a suitable replacement, which we feel we did. Or maybe even slightly overdid. Because everything worth doing is worth overdoing!

Also hailing from Germany, this Progressive Artcore trio has been released 7 albums since 2010, with their latest album (Der Brauch) being released earlier this year. They don't play in the Netherlands often, maybe because all of their songs are in their native language, but Jonno has been a fan ever since seeing them for the first time at UK-Tech Fest in 2016.

For the people unfamiliar with this band: Do you ever feel you would like indierock more if it had some blastbeats? Or maybe you would actually like Mathcore if it was just a bit more PostPunk. The Hirsch Effekt manages to combine opposite sounds in a way that makes it sound natural, while delivering a live performance that is electric and hypnotizing.

We are very excited to be announcing The Hirsch Effekt as the last band for MidJonno Prog II

If you still want to get the early bird tickets, better be quick, because we're announcing the last band for MidJonno Prog II tomorrow and then the early bird deal will be over. Here's a hint:

27/07/2026

Next weekend we'll announce the final band for Midjonno Prog, and the early bird deal will end. But, if you already have tickets, or can't make it, maybe this is a good time to look into the 27th and 28th of November. We're organising the preparty for The Progspace's anniversary show. We don't need to tell you we're excited about both events, but we will anyways.

It goes without saying we're extremely excited that we've managed to give ATLANTIS CHRONICLES the opportunity to do their very first show in the Netherlands. They're busy working on a new album as a follow-up to 2022's Nera, so maybe there's even a new song or two on the setlist. For now, enjoy a live rendition of Full Fathom Five https://youtu.be/HU9tJUoGHqQ?si=1WUh8aye_CSlmhzd

Ticket links for both days in the comments!

Recorded live at 'Les Cuizines' for Nera's release party, April 16,...

Admittedly, I'm still quite shocked to be writing these words.

In a genre that's full of bands that try to do their own thing, very few bands manage to be both completely unique and constantly reinvent themselves the way this band has done over the past 2 decades. The thing that makes them stand out, also makes them so challenging to describe to anyone who's not yet familiar with their music, since they are a band that is so much more than the sum of its parts. A band that can be both crushingly heavy and soothingly mellow. They can be mindbendingly complex while never sounding self-indulgent. They manage to write catchy 12 minute songs. Add to that the fact they are a brilliant live band and I had all the reasons I needed to try to book them. And, apparently I did. So, I am beyond excited to announce progressive metal pioneers Disillusion from Germany will be headlining Midjonno Prog.

Early bird Tickets for the second edition of Midjonno Prog are now live. For the low, low price of 21 euros you can get to see 4 fantastic bands. We'll be announcing the headliner the 25th and the preheadliner the 1st of August. After the full line-up has been revealed, price'll go up to 25 Euros, which is still idiotic for this stacked line-up. Ticketlink here:

Second band for Midjonno Prog:

Hailing from Italy, Progressive Heavy Metal quartet Methodica haven't visited our tiny country for over a decade, so you can be forgiven for having missed out on them. They've been around for quite a while, having already released 4 full-lengths and a few EP's. Heavy riffs, a pounding rythmic section, powerful vocals and some flirtations with contemporary electronic music makes for a blend that is both headbangable and catchy. We're looking forward to seeing them play the 16-01-2027 in Utrecht.

17/06/2026

So, the second edition of Midjonno Prog is happening! After the great response to the first edition, Jonno decided that there's no reason to have a short midlife crisis, so he got to work on organising the next one. First band is Golden Caves!

Dutch Progressive Rockers Golden Caves have played Progpower Europe, Progdreams and Marcelfest, but since that last performance they've gone under the radar a bit. Sources have told us they have been working on new music, which was just the excuse Jonno was looking for. We're excited to announce they will be opening the second edition, and we're looking forward to seeing them on stage again.

3 more bands to be announced in the coming weeks, and tickets go on sale in a few weeks too. Eventlink in the comments
