Britain’s Progressive Magazine have announced the nominees for the 4th Annual Progressive Music Awards.

Pink Floyd is up for Band/Artist of the Year, Best Album and the Storm Thorgerson Grand Design Award for the packaging of the album The Endless River. King Crimson have been nominated for Band/Artist, Album (for Starless) and event for their U.S. tour. Former Porcupine Tree leader Steven Wilson was recognized for Band/Artist, Album and Design, the last two for his Hand.Cannot.Erase.

Kate Bush received two nominations for Band/Artist and Event for her Before the Dawn residency. Other artists with two include Steve Hackett (Band/Artist, Anthem for Love Song To A Vampire), Opeth (Band/Artist and Album for Pale Communion), Flying Colors (Band/Artist and Album for Second Nature), the Von Hertzen Brothers and Public Service Broadcasting.

Veteran artists received all ten nominations in the The Storm Thorgerson Grand Design Award for album design.

All seven of the following categories can be voted on by the public at progmagazine.com/awards. An additional six awards, Outer Limits, Visionary, Virtuoso, Guiding Light, Lifetime Achievement and Prog God, are selected by editors of the magazine and will be announced at the ceremony.

Jerry Ewing, editor of Prog Magazine, said “Prog Magazine is currently enjoying its most successful year ever in terms of sales (our current issue is 35% up year on year), and I believe we are starting to see this reflected in the way the genre is interacting with the mainstream and with the commercial successes the front runners of today’s progressive scene are also enjoying. And it’s been another bumper year for the genre and this is a wonderfully diverse spread of artists who find themselves worthy nominees this year, once again showing that the influence of progressive music now spreads far and wide throughout so many areas of music. And of course, the night itself is always such a memorable one. It’s going to be a lot of fun with Matthew hosting for us for the first year.”

The 4th Annual Progressive Music Awards will be held September 3 at London’s Underglobe under Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre.
