Rick Wakeman And Son

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.

Keyboard legend Rick Wakeman returns to the Bilheimer Capitol Theatre! Last year, the ultimate keyboard wizard, Rick Wakeman CBE, announced that his 2024 tours of solo piano concerts would be his last. Rick, who has become almost as well-known for his intimate piano shows as his prog rock extravaganzas, had decided that after a career spanning over 50 years, he would be calling a halt to lengthy American one-man show tours, in order to concentrate on composing, recording and collaborating with other musicians. However, after receiving an offer to take part in the latest of the highly popular Cruise To The Edge, he couldn’t resist adding more dates to include some of the venues he couldn’t fit into his schedule in 2024. Audiences can expect an evening of highlights from his career with YES and his solo work, including the new 30-minute instrumental work Yessonata, featuring YES themes and melodies, woven into sonata form, which he wrote especially for the Final Solo Tour.
