In February 2023, Rick Wakeman CBE and the English Rock Ensemble performed three classic works from his prog rock back catalogue over two nights in what have since become legendary sell-out concerts at the London Palladium. The response from fans and critics alike was so enthusiastic that Rick subsequently decided to take the band on the road for a UK tour, The Return Of The Caped Crusader, the following year, comprising of the programme from the second night’s concert Journey To The Centre Of The Earth, combined with a medley of YES hits.Again, the response was rapturous with standing ovations at every show, but it left fans demanding: what about a repeat performance of the programme from the first night at the Palladium? That wish will be granted in October 2025, when Rick and the English Rock Ensemble will take to the road again, this time performing The Six Wives Of Henry VIII and The Myths And Legends Of King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table.
The musical line-up will be the same as on the first tour, with Rick, of course, leading the band on keyboards, brilliantly supported by Dave Colquhoun (guitars and backing vocals), Adam Falkner (drums), Lee Pomeroy (bass and backing vocals) and Adam Wakeman (keyboard, guitars and backing vocals). Mollie Marriott will again be lead vocalist, with three yet-to-be-announced backing singers.
Don’t miss this unlikely-to-be-repeated opportunity to hear two classic epics by one of the true legends of progressive rock, Rick Wakeman, and his band of superb musicians when they tour the UK.
