158Music festivals can be large events that draw huge crowds and muchpress coverage, or they can be small events attended by a few enthusiasticfans and garnering little to no coverage. This article focuses on thelatter type by approaching not a single festival but some 468 festivalsorganized by progressive rock enthusiasts in recent decades. Progressiverock is a musical genre that arose in the late 1960s and 1970s, withsome of its musicians enjoying notable commercial success in the 1970sand 1980s. From the 1990s onward, however, the genre as a wholemostly went underground, far from mainstream audiences and actors(e.g., major record corporations). While some describe this genre as distinctlyEnglish, I join others in emphasizing its transnational nature, forprogressive rock has taken root in a variety of nations (including Italy).Indeed, as shown in this article, progressive rock festivals have beenpart of an infrastructure connecting this underground yet transnationalscene of progressive rock, and festivals have played a crucial role in thecirculation of Italian progressive rock across national borders.
