ProgPower USA is a progressive and power metal festival held annually in the United States since 2001.[1] Its upcoming edition, ProgPower USA XXII is scheduled to take place on September 6-9, 2023. The festival's band selection process focuses on quality over quantity.[2] In addition to the emphasis on the power and progressive metal genres, the festival has branched out into other genres with the inclusion of the "oddball" slot that does not fit the normal motif.[3] ProgPower USA gives bands that have never performed in the States a chance to perform in the country.[4] The festival has been described as a cultural experience for fans[5] with autograph signing sessions, guest appearances, reunions, and meet-and-greets.[6] The festival has hosted over 70 bands' USA debuts including Blind Guardian, Gamma Ray, Nightwish,[7] and Stratovarius.
