Marillion Girona

MARILLION WEEKEND 2025 – SOLD OUT!!

The Marillion Weekends have been held since 2002. Approximately every two years the group chooses a very few cities to perform in each of them two consecutive concerts (or three, depending on the city) with special repertoires (they usually play entire albums for example) and references each night, where fans can see tracks not normally played on the group’s regular tours. They are more than concerts as fans from all over the world travel to see their favorite band. It’s easy for there to be more than 25 different nationalities in a Weekend! There are usually openers and parallel activities that do not cease to be a meeting point that fans take advantage of to exchange experiences, make new friends and meet others they have met at other Weekends!

Marillion is a rock group created in 1979 in Aylesbury (England). They were the leaders of the neoprogressive of the 80s, a new wave of progressive rock, heir to the classic progressive rock of the previous decade with bands like Genesis, Pink Floyd, Yes, King Crimson, etc. They released their first album in 1982 and already have twenty! Marillion has always opted not to stagnate, not to repeat itself and to evolve with each album. Few bands with a 45-year history can claim to have their last two albums among the most acclaimed by their fans and critics. They also stand out for being the inventors of “crowdfunding” in 2000, when they asked their fans to pay for the new album they were going to record a year before its release. More than 12,000 fans supported the campaign, allowing the band to have enough funds to record the album and in return to own their music.

For many a cult band, they continue to tour internationally disc after disc with a very powerful live performance that is a reference in the genre. Despite the unpopularity it has always had with the mainstream media and a consistently old-fashioned status within the music industry, Marillion has maintained a fiercely loyal international fan base.

 

Marillion is used to fighting preconceived notions. They are not what you think. Whatever your preconceived notions about this band are, there’s a good chance they’re not true.
