Marillion have introduced they may carry out on the world-famous Pompeii website in Italy on Saturday, July 25, 2026.
In a brief assertion, the band have merely stated: “Marillion will carry out a particular one-off live performance within the historic amphitheatre of Pompeii – a unprecedented location for a night of highly effective, immersive music.
Identified for his or her emotional depth and expansive sound, the band will convey a fastidiously crafted set to probably the most iconic venues on the earth. The live performance will likely be filmed for a future launch.
That is greater than a stay present, it’s a uncommon alternative to expertise Marillion in a spot the place music and historical past meet.”
The world heritage website’s amphitheatre is likely one of the oldest surviving Roman amphitheatres. So far as rock music goes it was made well-known by Pink Floyd‘s 1972 live performance movie Pink Floyd: Reside at Pompeii (filmed in 1971). Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour was the primary modern musician to return to carry out on the website 45-years afterward his Rattle That Lock tour in 2016. Since then artists equivalent to King Crimson, Elton John, Dream Theater and Jean-Michel Jarre have all performed at Pompeii.
Tickets for Marilllion’s present go on sale Monday November 3 at 1pm (UK time).
