Picture Book about the Festival History
The Final Night of the Prog Festival will take place on the Loreley in July 2024. This will mark the end of the biggest prog festival of our time and an entire era.
To mark the occasion, Empire Music is publishing an opulent photo art book that illustrates the entire history of the extraordinary festival with photo galleries on over 200 pages. At the end of the 17th and final festival this year, there will have been 188 acts, with 258 performances.
Not only the selected stars and headliners – the heart and soul of this unique festival has always been all the artists, and that is why the comprehensive book shows absolutely all the participants, from the hopeful newcomers under the hot midday sun to the superstars in the deep dark night. A photo is worth a thousand words, and here the photos alone speak…
Seven photographers accredited for Empire Magazine have documented all the performances for the magazine from the very beginning and are now sharing their best photos as a memento with the audience and those who stayed at home, giving everyone an impressive picture of the festival’s history. All of this year’s performances at the final festival in 2024 will of course also be professionally photographed again and the photos will be included in the book in their entirety.
The photo book is in A4 format with a sturdy coated hardcover, the 200+ photo pages with well over 1000 photos are printed on high-quality glossy paper. Due to the elaborate production, the book is published as a subscription (with prenumeration), a traditional old form of publication similar to modern crowdfunding.
