Info
On February 21, 2027, Rick Wakeman brings The Wizard of Prog: Ultimate Highlights Concert Tour to New Theatre in Cardiff, a chance to hear his most defining moments in one focused, stage-ready set. Classically trained but shaped by the London studio scene of the late 60s, Wakeman has always moved between precision and big, story-driven arrangements, and this tour leans into that signature blend.
Expect a walkthrough of the keyboard lines and themes that made him a key part of Yes at the start of the 70s, alongside the solo pieces where he pushed prog into symphonic, concept-led territory. From sweeping suites built like soundtracks to stripped-back piano passages that let the melodies breathe, the show is designed as a highlights reel with narrative flow, connecting decades of work without turning it into a history lesson. It’s Wakeman doing what he does best: playing like a storyteller, with chords, motifs, and a feel for drama that never needs extra decoration.
