Progressive rock, often shortened to prog rock, is a form of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and 1970s, within the United Kingdom and the United States. It is known for being one of the most universally acclaimed music genres, with a diverse and devoted international fanbase. However, despite its global appeal and significant impact on music, there is no official day to celebrate Progressive Rock. We urge the International Day Committee, the body responsible for designating international celebration days, to recognize a 'World Progressive Rock Day’.

This commemoration would not only validate the countless musicians and bands that have dedicated their lives to the genre but also further promote unity among prog rock lovers worldwide. More than that, it would draw attention to the artistic value of progressive rock, which is often marked by its ambitious scope and intricate compositions.

By establishing 'World Progressive Rock Day', we can provide an annual event where fans from all corners of the globe can engage in various activities like concerts, album discussions, and documentary viewings, paying tribute to this influential music genre. Let's take this step to honor, promote, and continue the legacy of progressive rock. Please sign this petition to show your support for a 'World Progressive Rock Day'.

The most appropriate date we can think of for this is 10 October, the day the album 'In The Court Of The Crimson King' was released, which was a turning point for Progressive Rock.
