What’s on during the Marillion Weekend Italy in Padua
Events, gigs, fan gatherings: everything you need to know for a unique experience at Marillion Weekend Italy
FRIDAY - 9 MAY
More info coming soon
We know that many of you, lovely people, will be in Italy as early as Thursday evening. That's why we thought we would organize a special evening on Thursday night:
RanestRane - Marillion Weekend Appetizer
A time to listen to great music, a time to catch up after a long trip, a time to break the ice and get to know other fans before the Weekend begins.
On Thursday evening, RanestRane, the prog-rock band of which Riccardo Romano is a co-founder, will be with us in Padua.
RanestRane has several collaborations with Marillion. Their trilogy “A Space Odyssey”, consisting of the albums “Monolith”, “H.A.L.,” and “Starchild”, features Steve Hogarth and Steve Rothery. In 2014, RanestRane joined the Steve Rothery Band on a successful European tour.
In 2015, they took part in the Marillion Weekend in Port Zélande. The same year saw the sensational collaboration with Steve Hogarth for an absolutely unique evening titled “h Strangely Natural”. For one night, Steve Hogarth and RanestRane became one entity, creating memorable arrangements and performances, recorded in audio and video by the later release of the CD/DVD “Friends, Romans: H Natural with RanestRane”.
RaneStrane’s music could not be left out during the first Marillion Weekend in Italy. On this occasion, the band will play some tracks from their latest album, "Apocalypse Now", released in 2022 and inspired by Francis Ford Coppola's masterpiece of the same name. There will also be a medley of their previous works: from “Nosferatu” to "The Shining” to the aforementioned “A Space Odyssey” trilogy.
The gig will take place at Radio City Music Hall Italy in Padua.
Reservations needed. Tickets are as follows:
- Dinner+gig formula: € 25.00, from 8:30 pm.
- Gig-only formula (1 drink included): € 10.00, from 9:30 pm.
The gig starts at 10 pm.

SATURDAY - APRIL 29th
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 multi-instrumentalist and a big Marillion fan. He has played on Italian stages since 1990 with various musical projects, of which he is a founder. In 2014 he performed a few Marillion songs with the Steve Rothery Band during their gig in Sommacampagna (Verona). Bootleg is available 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 will play some of the best-known pop-rock songs. And, who knows, he might even satisfy some of your requests!

Davide will be joined on stage by a special guest: Riccardo Romano. Both Davide and Riccardo are big fans of Marillion. We are therefore extremely pleased that they have accepted our invitation to perform after the show.
