About This Event

Taking Prog To The People is scheduled for 21 March 2027 at Ivory Blacks in Glasgow. The event will feature performances from Long Earth and Freedom To Glide, showcasing their progressive rock music. Tickets are priced at £19.80.

Long Earth need no introduction to the West of Scotland's prog fans & with their new album 'Towards The Sky' due to be released well before this date, you can be sure there will be plenty new songs to go with the old favourites & their celebrated atmospheric performances. Hailed by Prog Radio for "intricate arrangements," they blend "beautiful, soaring guitars" with "intelligent, thought-provoking lyrics" tackling 21st-century realities. Featuring the "ethereal" vocals of Maaike Siegerist, this veteran Scottish quintet is ready to take its place on the "pomp-prog pedestal."

Freedom To Glide create cinematic progressive rock that blends atmospheric guitars, rich keyboards, and emotionally powerful storytelling. Their music combines modern production with classic prog ambition, delivering immersive concept-driven soundscapes that explore memory, conflict, and hope — music that unfolds, resonates, and stays with the listener long after the final note. With bass playing prog legend John Jowitt (IQ, Frost*, Arena, Jadis) & Andy Nixon (Badfinger) in a live line up that also includes Rob Grucutt (Tim Bowness, Rain) you know they will serve up a spellbinding show.

IT based in London deliver powerful, melodic progressive rock that blends classic neo-prog atmosphere with modern cinematic energy. Anchored by powerful guitar riffs, driving bass lines, soaring vocals, and rich keyboard textures, their music combines emotional storytelling with dynamic musicianship. Fusing timeless prog influences with contemporary production, IT create immersive, song-focused soundscapes that are both evocative and instantly compelling.

Forgotten Gods arrive following their acclaimed debut, Memories. Praised by Background Magazine for "excellent vocals" and guitar work reminiscent of Steve Rothery, their live show brings to life what Lazland calls "sweeping, cinematic" music. Voted among the best new acts by Prog Magazine readers, this seasoned lineup delivers a profoundly personal, "distinctly British" symphonic sound.
