NEVERMORE will return to Canadian stages in 2027 after an absence of nearly 17 years. The band's first Canadian show since 2010 will take place at ProgStorm Festival, held in Montréal from August 20-22, 2027. Announced as the festival's first headliner, NEVERMORE will perform a 90-minute set at Club Soda on Saturday, August 21.

The band's last performance in Montréal took place in October 2010. ProgStorm 2027 will therefore offer Canadian fans their first opportunity in nearly two decades to see NEVERMORE perform in the country again.

Having returned to the stage in 2026, NEVERMORE continues with a new lineup led by guitarist Jeff Loomis and drummer Van Williams. The current lineup also features vocalist Berzan Önen, guitarist Jack Cattoi, and bassist Semir Özerkan. Following a sold-out opening show in Istanbul, the band went on to perform at Wacken and Bloodstock, as well as playing seven dates on JUDAS PRIEST's European tour. With work on a new album also underway, NEVERMORE's 2027 schedule is beginning to take shape.

NEVERMORE's place in the ProgStorm lineup is particularly fitting for a festival dedicated to progressive metal. With albums such as "Dead Heart in a Dead World" and "This Godless Endeavor", the band has established itself as one of the genre's significant acts. Their Montréal performance will give fans another opportunity to hear material from this era performed live.

NEVERMORE is the second act announced for the festival's third edition. Previously, NATIVE CONSTRUCT were confirmed to reunite and perform their album "Quiet World" in its entirety. The organisers have announced that 16 more bands will be revealed starting next week. The 2027 edition is set to feature a total of 18 international and local acts.

ProgStorm Festival 2027 will take place from August 20-22 at Club Soda in Montréal, Québec. Festival details, tickets, and upcoming lineup announcements are available on the official ProgStorm website.
