Attention fans in northern New Jersey and the New York Metro Area. Crack The Sky is thrilled to announce that they’ll be performing at this year’s annual ProgStock 2026 in Rutherford New Jersey on October 10, 2026. Hear the classic Crack songs you’ve enjoyed over the years. They’ll be appearing on Day 3 of the three-day festival. You can purchase a single day ticket or get all three days in one.

ProgStock 2026 is the tenth edition of an annual volunteer-run event whose mission is to shine light on one of the most exciting and creative genres of rock music, Progressive Rock. The festival has been designed as a hybrid event, including in-person attendance at our on-stage performances, access to artist meet-and-greets, vendor tables and fine artist exhibits, and many other unique attractions that make this much more than a music festival…it’s a Prog convention! And, since 2021, we also offer live-streaming of our main on-stage performances for those who can’t attend in-person.

Once popularized in the late 1960s and early 1970s by bands like Yes, Genesis, Jethro Tull and Rush (to name but a few), the genre has spawned hundreds of bands all over the world ever since its heyday. Despite the near-demise of the record industry that once exposed this music to the masses, artists from all over the world have continued to create this kind of music and have found audiences that cherish it and crave for more. Since 2017, ProgStock has provided a vehicle for these artists to play to audiences and in surroundings that they might not be able to achieve on their own.
