ProgPower Europe (formerly ProgPower ), also known as PPE , is a music festival that takes place annually in the Netherlands. It was first held in 1999.

Styles

The festival's focus is on progressive rock and metal. In the last few years there have also been individual groups from other styles, such as death and power metal groups.

particularities

The PPE Festival is known as a very familiar, smaller festival where the audience and musicians come very close. It is quite common for the bands to stay in the same hotels as the audience and celebrate with them. In 2014 Pain of Salvation played two sets on PPE (September 4th and 5th, 2014) because Pagan's Mind had to cancel at short notice.
