Rick Wakeman

Tickets on sale Friday 7 February at 10am.

In February 2023, Rick Wakeman CBE and the English Rock Ensemble performed three classic works from his prog rock back catalogue over two nights in what have since become legendary sell-out concerts at the London Palladium. The response from fans and critics alike was so enthusiastic that Rick subsequently decided to take the band on the road for a UK tour, The Return Of The Caped Crusader, the following year, comprising of the programme from the second night’s concert Journey To The Centre Of The Earth, combined with a medley of YES hits.

Again, the response was rapturous with standing ovations at every show, but it left fans demanding: what about a repeat performance of the programme from the first night at the Palladium? That wish will be granted in October 2025, when Rick and the English Rock Ensemble will take to the road again, this time performing The Six Wives Of Henry VIII and The Myths And Legends Of King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table.

The musical line-up will be the same as on the first tour, with Rick, of course, leading the band on keyboards, brilliantly supported by Dave Colquhoun (guitars and backing vocals), Adam Falkner (drums), Lee Pomeroy (bass and backing vocals) and Adam Wakeman (keyboard, guitars and backing vocals). Mollie Marriott will again be lead vocalist, with three yet-to-be-announced backing singers.

Rick says: ‘For me, historical events, myths and legends, and great stories, should never have a date stamped on them, as they will be talked about for centuries to come. Henry’s wives and King Arthur are great examples of ‘here forever’. Writing music for all these fascinating people was magical and thoroughly enjoyable in every aspect, and so to still be playing both of these suites of music at the age of 76 is also another remarkable milestone in my life. With a stunning array of musicianship surrounding me, I only wish I could be in the audience watching and listening, so all those sitting out there will have to do it for me!’
