Info
On February 26, 2027, at The Glasshouse - International Centre for Music in Gateshead, Rick Wakeman brings his “The Wizard of Prog: Ultimate Highlights Concert Tour” to the stage for a deep dive into the music that made his name. A classically trained pianist who helped shape Yes’s early-70s progressive edge, Wakeman has always balanced precision with a taste for big, story-driven themes. Expect a set that pulls from his landmark solo years, where keyboards and orchestral ideas collided in concept-heavy suites, as well as nods to the signature Yes-era sound that put his playing front and center. In recent decades he’s kept moving between grand prog compositions and stripped-back piano reinterpretations, and this tour is built to connect those worlds: virtuosic passages, memorable motifs, and the kind of narrative flow that turns a concert into a journey rather than a playlist.
