Since I'm an Asia fan, I get the weekly 'Asian Armada newsletter'. In the one I received today, John and Susan Bianco wrote about Progfest:

"The Friday night headliner, Arena were fantastic. Performing a
number of songs from their lastest release, Pepper's Ghost, Arena
put on a whale of a show. With bass superhero John Jowitt (Jadis,
IQ) filling in for Ian Salmon, John Mitchell, Clive Nolan, Nick
Pointer and Rob Sowden brought to life their brand of prog that
harkened back to 1971-1974 Genesis. I have to admit, I have never
heard Arena before. For that matter, when I first saw the line up
for Rosfest 2005, I had never heard any of the bands that performed.
This shows just how out of touch I am with the progressive movement
which I am happy to report, is being spearheaded by ASIA's new
label, InsideOut. It also is a testament to the efforts of George
and Tom to bring the highest caliber of talent to this wonderful
event."

Not bad, so to say.

I'm sorry, it had to be 'Rosfest'. I saw 'progSfest' is in October 2005.

Hehe, I was already wondering whether you were able to travel in time, Teunis :)

And, as I said, progsfest has been cancelled this year.

Not, fortunately :-[, although it could be handy sometimes. At least I showed you a positive review  ???.

If Your looking for progressive rock sites in the future the site: www.prog-nose.be can be a good help, it might be in dutch if that is a problem.

There's a new event, The Summer's End Festival, which will hopefully go some way towards replacing progSfest. If it's a success, we may even be able to approach Arena next year!  ;D
