By popular demand, after the success of last year's edition, the event featuring MARILLION makes a stop in Italy: the extraordinary band that marked the history of progressive rock will be live at the Gran Teatro Geox in Padua on 9 and 10 May 2025 for the Marillion Weekend, two days of events dedicated to prog-rock made in England, with a packed calendar of meetings.

Tickets will be available from 10.00 a.m. on Friday 27 September at www.ticketone.it, at www.ticketmaster.com, at all authorised Ticketone and Ticketmaster outlets, and at www.marillion.com. The ticket price includes admission for the two-day event.

Supporting bands for the Marillion Weekend will be No Sound on Friday 9 May - a group that creatively combines influences from 70s psychedelia, 80s/90s ambient, soundtracks, alternative and post-rock - and RanestRane on Saturday 10 May 2025, one of the most active realities of contemporary Italian Prog Rock, whose works are all dedicated to and inspired by great auteur films (‘Nosferatu the Vampire’ by W. Herzog, ‘The Shining’ and ‘2001 A Space Odyssey’ by S. Kubrick, to name a few).

The Marillion Weekend is now a real brand exported all over the world: to Canada, Chile, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Portugal, Great Britain, just to name a few of the countries in which the brand has positioned itself and is now well known.

Protagonist is the greatest band of the second generation of Prog-Rock, who will meet fans from all over the world. Two unprecedented shows, which have the particularity of being two different shows, with completely different setlists. Last year, Marillion fans witnessed a historic, highly anticipated event in Italy.

With over 40 years of honored career behind them, 30 million albums sold all over the world and a passionate fan base, Marillion, led by Steve Hogarth, over the years have been able to maintain their role as a leader in the international Prog scene, thanks to their their extraordinary timeless hits, concerts all over the world. After 6 years from the last recording project, this year Marillion have released "An Hour Before It's Dark", the band's latest masterpiece album, which reaffirms the period of glory they are experiencing and their will, as well as need, to remain authentic and faithful to their music, sharp, refined, without feeling the weight of the passage of time.

Their concerts translate into unique, unforgettable and unmistakable experiences.

Regarding the live dimension of their artistic activity, says Steve Hogarth:

"The concert is my favorite aspect of my work. The ability to share a state of mind with those who understand my words and, consequently, me too, even when they don't know English. Fans are so attached to our music that before concerts they read and deepen the words: few artists can boast such a personal relationship with their audience. I had the privilege of playing in front of 80,000 people but also in front of 200. I appreciated it in the same way".

Marillion are among the most credible standard bearers of rock in recent decades: they cross stylistic frontiers, climb the international charts and continue to animate the passion of the public, which supports them in their musical adventures (also through crowfunding activities).
