Good news for fans of prog on the east coast of Oz! This year Progfest will be expanding from Melbourne to incorporate Sydney and Brisbane, with Leprous from Norway headlining!

Dyssidia played Progfest last year in Melbourne and man did it go off! We are stoked to be playing all three shows and I’ll also be playing the Sydney show with James Norbert Ivanyi.

Keep an eye out for Dyssidia shows in Perth and Adelaide to be announced soon as well.

Dyssidia have been working hard on our upcoming album and I’ll be heading into the studio around Christmas time to track some demos. The difficulty level has really gone way up with these new songs, with some super challenging odd time rhythms, polyrhythms and drawn out song structures providing plenty of anxiety for us as we attempt to play and refine the material!

Before we play the Progfest shows, we’ll also be supporting Paradise Lost (UK) at The Gov in Adelaide on December 17.
