Nevermore to Perform First Canadian Show in 17 Years at ProgStorm 2027

Nevermore will play their first Canadian show in nearly 17 years at ProgStorm Festival 2027. The band will perform on Saturday, August 21, at Club Soda in Montréal, Quebec. The announcement makes Nevermore the festival’s first headliner. The performance marks the band’s return to Montréal, where they last performed in October 2010.

For fans who saw them then, the wait has spanned almost two decades. For those who discovered the band in the years since, ProgStorm will be their first chance to see Nevermore in Canada. The set will last 90 minutes. Nevermore is led by guitarist Jeff Loomis and drummer Van Williams.

The band returned to the stage in 2026 with vocalist Berzan Önen, guitarist Jack Cattoi, and bassist Semir Özerkan. A sold-out opening show in Istanbul was followed by appearances at Wacken and Bloodstock and seven European dates supporting Judas Priest. A new album is in development. ProgStorm Festival 2027 takes place August 20-22 at Club Soda.

Nevermore is the second act revealed, following Native Construct’s announcement to perform Quiet World in full. Sixteen more bands remain to be announced, with new names revealed starting next week. The festival is already establishing Montréal as a new hub for the international progressive metal community. The 2027 edition will feature 18 international and local bands.
