About

King Crimson are a British progressive rock band formed in London in 1968, led throughout their existence by guitarist Robert Fripp. Over more than five decades they released thirteen studio albums, each typically featuring a radically different lineup, moving from heavy art rock through free improvisation to new wave. Their 1969 debut In the Court of the Crimson King is widely regarded as one of the founding documents of progressive rock. The band last toured in 2021, and as of 2025 are reportedly working on new studio material for the first time since 2003.
