Just a heads up for anyone who is interested in seeing IQ this fall in Montreal, the tickets just went on sale this morning, directly from Club Soda's own website. I grabbed mine, can't wait! (I also love that there are no extra fees since it doesn't go through Ticketmaster.)

Damn. I wish they were playing a venue with reserved seating. At least when they played La Tulipe last time around we had guaranteed table seating in front.
Love this translation. Toad of Bones indeed.
"IQ in Montreal
The English progressive rock band IQ will be back in Montreal on October 4th. The English group will present many pieces having marked their long career.
With Marillion, IQ is one of the mainstays of neo-prog, a movement started in the early 80s. Their first album, Tales from the Lush Attic, was released in 1983. Compared to Gensis in their early days, it's in 1993 with the album Ever that IQ reaches maturity with a refined and personalized sound.
Subsequently, the sound quality of IQ's albums has always been remarkable and constantly improving. The album of their album, Toad of Bones, is considered by many music critics to be the best rock-progressive album of the year 2014.
IQ is composed of Peter Nicholls (vocals), Mike Holmes (guitar), Paul Cook (drums), Tim Essau (bass) and Neil Durant (claviers).
With an album to be released at the end of 2018, Montreal fans will be able to hear new pieces from IQ en primeur."
Ok. Got two.
See you guys there!
....and two days later at ProgStock in Rahway, NJ!!!
I’m debating whether to see the Montreal show or try for a single day ticket for Progstock. It’s about 5 hours either way from my Massachusetts lair. Montreal is always fun but pricey, what goes on in Rahway besides Progstock?Originally Posted by harbinger58
I think there's a prison.
When "regular" tickets go on sale for ProgStock in June, there will be mezzanine tickets....still great seats......which will be priced at $145 for the whole weekend. Hard to beat that.
Ticket bought for Montreal!

Is that it? Just two NA dates? *sigh*
Three. The first show is in Quebec City.
I'm happy to be seeing them, but it would be nice if they could squeeze a few more shows in while they're over here.

I used to deliver to a pharmaceutical place there called Merck.
New album in late 2018? I think they're getting ahead of themselves in the press blurb!
It’s been about 4 years now since the road of bones I believe. That’s about right for an IQ release. I’m hoping but not holding my breath that they add a few more dates.

Hey IQ, if you're reading this, there's this pretty big city in the Midwest called Chicago. Pretty good pizza and a lot of neighborhood bars. A lot of out of town visitors. And a prog festival going on in October, and actually prog fans outside of the NE corridor. Just a suggestion.....

Yeah, and Dallas is pretty proggy these days too. Marillion, Uriah Heep, Sons of Apollo (in May), Dream Theater, Haken, King Crimson & Utopia (next week), just to name a few, have all stopped by recently & drawn nice crowds
Planning a "road trip" from Rahway up to Quebec City & Montreal before Progstock. Bought my tickets......Quebec City looks to be in a theater with reserved seats. Montreal seems to be general admission.
One preliminary problem I see is the long drive from Montreal back to Rahway to make the 3:30PM start of Progstock!
Anyone local to Quebec City and Montreal have recommendations for lodging close to the venues? Good food? Would it be better to get a room in the suburbs to avoid morning traffic in the city? I was thinking of just parking the car at a hotel.....then walk to dining & venue.
Right now....a rental car is cheaper than flights to / from Newark Liberty Airport.

Going to the Montreal show also. Very excited and happy to say this will be my second IQ show after last year in Quebec City for the Scraping Across the World Tour 2017. The Club Soda site says they will premier some new material at these shows, Fantastic!
Roger Hodgson plays Montreal three times in October 2018 as well, good combo right?
