About Rick Wakeman – The Wizard of Prog
On his 77th birthday, keyboard player extraordinaire Rick Wakeman CBE is delighted to announce that he and the English Rock Ensemble will be touring the UK 2027 with his The Wizard Of Prog – Ultimate Highlights Concert Tour.
Ever since Rick reformed the English Rock Ensemble in 2022, the band’s tours have become bigger and better every time they embark on a new schedule of live shows, graduating from two sold-out nights at the London’s iconic Palladium to The Return Of The Caped Crusader Parts 1 & 2 UK tours.
However, while past shows have focused on a complete album, the setlist this time will feature a broad sweep across Rick’s classic back catalogue, featuring live tracks that are fan favourites the world over.
Audiences can expect to hear extracts from his epic concept albums like Journey To The Centre Of The Earth and The Myths & Legends of King Arthur & The Knights Of The Round Table and other solo work, as well as music he recorded with YES – and of course, a few surprises along the way!
Fans are promised a magical night of music spanning over 50 years of the Wizard Of Prog’s stellar career, brought bang-up-to-date by a group of spell-binding musicians whose alchemy on stage is irresistible. “All tours are special, but this one is really very special,” Rick promises. “I can’t exactly tell you why, but trust me… it is!”
And as if that wasn’t enough – Rick will be releasing his wild and witty definitive autobiography The Wizard of Prog this year. Full of dramatic spirals, spectacular comebacks and legendary rock ’n’ roll excess, this is the book Rick has always wanted to write.
