Info
On March 5, 2027, at Cliffs Pavilion in Southend-on-Sea, Rick Wakeman brings his “The Wizard of Prog: Ultimate Highlights Concert Tour” for a deep dive into the music that made his name: big keyboard lines, narrative themes, and that unmistakable blend of rock energy and classical touch.
Expect a set built around the core moments of his solo catalogue, where his symphonic, concept-driven approach took shape with landmark suites and long-form pieces, alongside the signature textures he brought to progressive rock in the early 70s. Wakeman’s way of moving from grand, cinematic passages to more intimate piano-led sections has always been central, and this show leans into that contrast: virtuosic runs, theatrical chord changes, and melodies that feel like chapters in a story.
Rather than a greatest-hits recital in the usual sense, the night plays like a guided tour through his highlights and eras, from classic progressive compositions to later reworkings and more recent material, all tied together by his storyteller’s instinct at the keyboard.
