The second edition of ProgVibe Balkans takes place on November 28, 2026 on the B-stage of Mixtape 5 in Sofia, starting at 8 p.m. Three progressive bands from three Balkan countries play one boutique night.

Symphress are from Cluj-Napoca, Romania, founded in 2015 as an acoustic ambient project that grew into progressive and symphonic metal. After the concept debut "Father Time - Part I" (2023) and "Pseudo" (2024), they are presenting their third album, "Serpentine", song by song. They have shared the stage with Sirenia and Gothic and played Bucovina Rock Castle and Hillsfest.

Untold Stories are a Sofia progressive rock band, formed in late 2022 by guitarist and composer Daniel Eliseev-Marinovski. The debut "Wind and Memories" came out in January 2025, and the single "Pale Horizons" from June 2026 made the British Prog Magazine's Tracks of the Week and won the weekly vote. Athens' Leaving Tomorrow are a trio active since 2002, weaving progressive rock with classical, jazz and folk, with the albums "Leaving Tomorrow" (2009) and "Morningdom" (2020), and this year they return with a new bassist.

Tickets on bilet.bg cost 15 to 28 euros, roughly 920 to 1,720 denars. ProgVibe Balkans is an independent platform set up to support progressive music in the Balkans.
