Info
On February 25, 2027, Rick Wakeman brings “The Wizard of Prog: Ultimate Highlights Concert Tour” to Usher Hall in Edinburgh. A classically trained pianist turned progressive-rock architect, Wakeman has spent decades turning keyboards into a full orchestra, moving from intricate piano passages to big, story-driven themes. This show is built as a career-spanning ride through the signature moments that shaped his sound: the symphonic sweep and conceptual flair of his landmark solo era, the cinematic sense of drama that made his extended pieces feel like musical journeys, and the razor-sharp prog touch he honed in the early ’70s. Expect a set that leans into melody and narrative, where familiar motifs are revisited, reshaped and played with the freedom of a performer who’s done stadium-sized epics, intimate piano concerts, and everything in between.
