After their impressive concert debut in 2017 and a festival show at Graspop 2018, progressive-rockers Ayreon would make for a valuable contribution to Wacken's lineup imho :)

Ich war letztes Jahr auf einem der drei Konzerte in den Niederlanden und muss sagen, dass sich die 600km Anreise wirklich gelohnt haben - war echt perfektionistisch vorgetragen!
Ist natürlich logistisch nicht einfach, die vielen Musiker aus unterschiedlichen Bands unter einen Hut zu bringen, aber beim Graspop haben sie was das angeht ja auch erfolgreich etwas Improvisationstalent gezeigt :)

Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn Ayreon kommen und "Into the electric castle" komplett spielen würden.


Habe Ayreon leider noch nie live gesehen :confused: aber die DVD "Live on earth" von Star One läßt erahnen, was einen bei Ayreon erwartet.
Das hoffe ich auch.
Die DVDs Theater equation oder Ayreon Universe sind auch genial.

Greetings, Ayreonauts!

It's time to mark your calendars again!

To continue celebrating the 20th anniversary of the classic Ayreon album Into the Electric Castle, it will be performed live, in its entirety, for 4 exclusive shows in September 2019.

Arjen and his trusty sidekick, Joost van den Broek (who co-produced the Ayreon Universe shows in 2017), have already spent the past year working on bringing Into the Electric Castle to the stage for you to enjoy. In fact, not even 30 minutes into the backstage party after the final Ayreon Universe encore last September, they were already scheming about what to do next!

Electric Castle Live will feature nearly the entire cast of the original album, plus some very special guests.

Original cast:

Fish (ex-Marillion), Anneke van Giersbergen (VUUR), Damian Wilson, Thijs van Leer (Focus), Ed Warby (Ayreon), Edward Reekers (Kayak), Edwin Balogh, George Oosthoek (ex-Orphanage).

Special guests:

Simone Simons (Epica), Mark Jansen (Mayan), John Jaycee Cuijpers (Praying Mantis), Marcela Bovio (Mayan), Dianne van Giersbergen (Ex Libris), Jan Willem Ketelaars, plus a super-secret extra special guest who we'll be announcing later.

Instrumentalists:

Johan van Stratum (VUUR) - bass, Joost van den Broek - keys, Marcel Singor (Kayak) - lead guitar, Ferry Duijsens (VUUR) - guitar, Bob Wijtsma (Ex Libris) - guitar, Ben Mathot - violin.

To top it all off, Arjen himself will be singing his original role as "The Hippie."
(We tried to talk him out of it, but he is pretty determined... ;-) )

The basic info is below, but be sure to visit Ayreon.com/live for the most current, up-to-date info all in one place.

Electric Castle Live - 4 shows total

Dates: Friday 13 September, Saturday 14 September, and Sunday, 15 September (two shows!)
Location: Poppodium 013 – Tilburg, The Netherlands
Doors: TBA
Start show: TBA
