Rick Wakeman - The Wizard of Prog

Prog, Rock and Pop. Ultimate Highlights Concert Tour feat The English Rock Ensemble. In celebration of his 77th birthday, keyboard player extraordinaire Rick Wakeman and the English Rock Ensemble are set to embark on their longest UK tour to date with The Wizard Of Prog - Ultimate Highlights Concert Tour. Whilst past shows have focused on a complete album, the setlist this time will feature a broad sweep across Rick's classic back catalogue, featuring live tracks that are fan favourites the world over. Audiences can expect to hear extracts from his epic concept albums like Journey To The Centre Of The Earth and The Myths & Legends of King Arthur & The Knights Of The Round Table and other solo work, as well as music he recorded with YES - and of course, a few surprises along the way! The band line-up will be the same as 2025's Return Of The Caped Crusader Part 2 tour, with Rick, of course, leading them from the keyboards, brilliantly supported by Jesse Smith (lead vocals), Adam Wakeman (keyboard, guitars and backing vocals), Dave Colquhoun (guitars and backing vocals), Lee Pomeroy (bass and backing vocals), Adam Falkner (drums) and backing vocalists Sara Davey, Jo Goldsmith-Eteson and Jo Marshall. Fans are promised a magical night of music spanning over 50 years of the Wizard Of Prog's stellar career, brought bang-up-to-date by a group of spell-binding musicians whose alchemy on stage is irresistible. And as if that wasn't enough - Rick will be releasing his wild and witty definitive autobiography The Wizard of Prog this year. Full of dramatic spirals, spectacular comebacks and legendary rock 'n' roll excess, this is the book Rick has always wanted to write.
