FRIDAY - MAY 9th
If you can't make it on Thursday evening, you're still more than welcome to join us on Friday afternoon at 5:30 pm. We're having an icebreaker at the Geox Theatre and we'd absolutely love to see you there!
5:30 PM - Fans gathering
We will meet at 5:30 pm in the theatre foyer. We'll have some yummy food and drinks, and it'll be a great chance to chat and get to know each other better. We'll be listening to some beautiful music, too. Unfortunately, we won't be able to have live music on Friday afternoon due to technical issues, but don't worry, it'll still be a special moment to share with new and old friends.
Don’t forget to book a seat on the shuttle to the Geox by May 7th!
7:00 PM - Main Hall Doors Opening
8:00 PM - NoSound
Starting at 8 p.m., the multi-instrumentalist Giancarlo Erra will be on stage with his band: NoSound.
NoSound creatively combines influences from 70s psychedelia, 80s/90s ambient, soundtracks, alternative and post-rock.
The NoSound project started as a 'one-man studio' in 2005, but has gradually grown into a full band. The band's influences range far and wide, drawing from Pink Floyd, Brian Eno, Porcupine Tree, Marillion, Radiohead and Sigur Rós.

Marillion will be on stage from 9.15 pm onwards.
11:30 PM - Aftershow for The Remainers - Acoustic set The Roux Crue
From 11:30 pm onwards, we will gather in the Foyer of the Geox Theatre to continue listening to live music with The Roux Crue, a musical project formed by singer Sarah Moccia and guitarist Gregorio Montanino..
Dopo tutto, We Are The Remainers!
The Roux Crue project is a really special blend of pop and rock, with a warm and friendly vibe that makes you feel good right away.
Sarah and Gregorio will be treating us to a range of classic songs, from the pop hits of the 80s and 90s (The Police, Supertramp, Michael Jackson, Cyndi Lauper, Patti Smith, Genesis, Annie Lennox, Simply Red, Debbie Harry, Rolling Stones, David Bowie) to some of their original tracks from their latest album, Stories from forgotten places.
Sarah and Gregorio are also big fans of Marillion. We are, therefore, over the moon that they accepted our invitation to perform after the show.
For all Remainers: we guarantee a great aftershow, not to be missed.
SATURDAY - MAY 10th
5:00 PM - Fans gathering - Davide Marani - Voice and Guitar
At 5 pm on Saturday, Davide Marani will perform an acoustic gig in the theatre foyer.
Davide is a talented multi-instrumentalist and a huge Marillion fan (who isn’t here, uh?). If you were there in 2023, you'll already have had the pleasure of seeing him perform solo and with the amazing Riccardo Romano.
Since 1990, he has been delighting audiences all over Italy with the many musical projects he has founded. Back in 2014, he treated fans to a special performance, playing a few Marillion songs with the Steve Rothery Band during their gig in Sommacampagna, Verona. You can still get your hands on the bootleg here.
An almost regular presence as a musician during The Web Italy conventions, Davide has always included several Marillion songs in his repertoire. On this occasion, he'll be playing some of the best-known pop-rock songs. We're sure it'll be a night to remember, and who knows, maybe he'll even throw in a few requests!
We can't wait to see you all there, singing, dancing and having a great time together before we all head off to the second evening of the Marillion Weekend. Once again, don’t forget to book a seat on the shuttle to the Geox by May 7th!
7:00 PM - Main Hall Doors Opening
8:00 PM - RanestRane
From 8 pm onwards, we've got the amazing RanestRane on the stage, who you might know from their work with Steve Hogarth (and some other really cool projects). These awesome Roman guys have released two live albums with H: Friends, Romans and the brand new SPQR.
RanestRane have already played as a support band at the Marillion Weekend in Port Zélande back in 2015 and on the Japanese Tour in 2018. They also played the opening act on several Steve Rothery Band tours. The band has ten different album and DVD releases to their credit: right now, they're putting the finishing touches to their new album, The Elephant Man (due out by the end of 2025), inspired by the 1980 film directed by the recently deceased David Lynch.
