Prog is a British magazine and website dedicated to progressive rock music. The magazine is published 11 times a year by Future. It was launched in February 2009 and is based in London, publishing its 100th issue in August 2019. Prog covers all aspects of progressive music, from original 70s artists such as Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, King Crimson and Jethro Tull, through to 80s acts including Marillion, Pallas, Twelfth Night, IQ and Pendragon, to more modern, 21st century prog bands such as Porcupine Tree, Radiohead, Muse, Opeth, Katatonia and more.

Publication history[edit]

Prog was launched by Future in February 2009, originally as a Classic Rock Presents one-shot magazine before being launched as a separate, full-time title in March 2012. Along with sister titles Classic Rock and Metal Hammer, it was sold to start-up publishing company TeamRock in April 2013.[1] Following the collapse of TeamRock in December 2016, Future bought back the magazine and its website in January 2017.[2]

Progressive Music Awards[edit]

Prog launched the Progressive Music Awards in September 2012, designed to recognise important artists in the progressive music scene. The first awards were held at the Nash Conservatory at Kew Gardens before moving to the Globe Theatre on London’s South Bank in 2013, where it was held for the following six years. Hosts for the awards have included former Newsnight presenter Gavin Esler, TV and radio personality Matthew Wright and comedian Al Murray.[3]
