Info
On March 8, 2027, at Symphony Hall in Birmingham, Rick Wakeman brings his “The Wizard of Prog: Ultimate Highlights Concert Tour” for a deep dive into the music that made him one of prog’s defining keyboard voices. Classically trained, but shaped by the London studio scene, Wakeman’s playing helped set the tone of early-70s Yes, with those signature layers and sharp melodic runs that still hit instantly.
This concert is built as a guided tour through his landmark solo universe too: the symphonic, story-driven side heard on The Six Wives of Henry VIII, Journey to the Centre of the Earth, and the King Arthur suite. Expect big themes, dramatic turns, and that mix of rock energy with orchestral thinking, alongside more recent material that keeps his taste for musical narratives alive. A night designed for anyone who likes their songs with chapters, their melodies bold, and their keyboards front and center.
