Info
On December 6, 2026, Rick Wakeman brings his singular mix of prog ambition and piano craft to Portsmouth Guildhall. Classically trained before diving into London’s late-60s studio scene, Wakeman became the keyboard voice behind part of Yes’s defining era, shaping the band’s expansive sound on albums like Fragile and Close to the Edge.
This show is a chance to hear how that language translates onstage when the spotlight is fully his. Expect a set built around the storytelling instincts that made his solo work stand out: bold themes, long-form developments, and that symphonic sense of drama that runs through landmark records like The Six Wives of Henry VIII, Journey to the Centre of the Earth, and King Arthur. Whether he leans into grand progressive passages or strips things back to solo piano reworkings in the spirit of Piano Portraits, the thread is the same: melodic hooks, quicksilver technique, and music that unfolds like a narrative rather than a playlist.
