Prepare for ProgStorm, Canada's first progressive metal festival! Into Eternity, one of the most respected names in progressive metal, will headline the inaugural ProgStorm Festival in Montréal on August 9, 2025. This marks the band’s highly anticipated return to the city, where they haven’t performed in several years. Fans will be able to experience their unique fusion of progressive, death, and power metal, as Into Eternity closes the first day of this one-of-a-kind event at Le Ministère.
Into Eternity has a rich history with Montréal, having shared the stage with some of the biggest names in metal at the Bell Centre. In 2006, they performed during Gigantour alongside Megadeth, Opeth, Lamb of God, and Arch Enemy, leaving an unforgettable mark on the Montréal metal scene. They returned in 2007 to perform again at the Bell Centre with Dream Theater and Redemption, further solidifying their place in the legacy of progressive metal. Now, their long-awaited return to Montréal for ProgStorm Festival is set to captivate fans in a more intimate setting, making this a truly special moment for the band and their loyal followers. Stu Block, the band’s lead vocalist, also known for his work with Iced Earth, adds to the excitement, making this performance a must-see for fans of both progressive and traditional metal. A few words from founding member and lead guitarist, Tim Roth:
"Into Eternity is pleased to announce we are finally coming back to the great Heavy Metal city of Montreal! We will be headlining the ProgStorm Festival in August 2025. It is going to be incredible to finally come back to the Heavy Metal Capital of Canada Montreal Quebec! Rehearsals will be starting shortly and we are planning a great new Into Eternity setlist. We have fond memories of playing the Bell Centre in Montreal on our Tour with Megadeth and then again when we toured with Dream Theater. Montreal has always been a favourite city of ours to play from clubs to arenas. Thanks to the ProgStorm Festival team for inviting us to perform. Hopefully we will see some of our old friends at the show. See you all this August!"
