AYREON - 30th anniversary
After five sold-out shows of Ayreon - Live Beneath the Waves at poppodium 013 in the Netherlands in 2023, attended by 15,000 fans from 64 countries, and after four sold-out Ayreon - Electric Castle Live & Other Tales shows in 2019, as well as three sold-out Ayreon Universe shows in 2017, Ayreon is ready to add another exciting chapter to its live history. The new production, Ayreon - 30th Anniversary - An Amazing Flight Through Time, celebrates Ayreon's 30-year existence since the release of its debut album, *The Final Experiment*, in 1995. This massive, state-of-the-art live production will take audiences on a journey through Arjen Lucassen's entire discography, featuring a massive, unique stage design, stunning visuals, spectacular special effects-and much more.
Ayreon mastermind Arjen Lucassen, along with lead producer and keyboardist Joost van den Broek, has assembled a remarkable cast of many favorite Ayreon singers and special guests, plus an amazing group of instrumentalists to bring the music to life at the highest possible level. Lucassen himself will also perform as a vocalist.
Titled *An Amazing Flight Through Time*, the setlist will cover Ayreon's 30-year musical history, with a wide range of songs, including some that have never been played live before, in addition to many fan favorites. Songs from some of Arjen's side-projects will also be played. No effort will be spared to transform 013 into an immersive “Ayreon world,” where fans will be transported to another dimension. This show promises to be the ultimate Ayreon party, a tribute to Arjen's music in its most complete form.
Arjen: “After the overwhelming success of the previous Ayreon shows, and especially the warm reception from fans and musicians alike, it was an easy decision to bring Ayreon back to the stage for more shows in 2025. But the big question was: what should be the theme of the show, and how can we surprise and delight fans this time? The answer is simple-2025 marks Ayreon's 30th anniversary! I can't wait to see the fans' reactions to a set list of classic Ayreon songs, as well as some we've never performed live before. And of course there will be an exciting new stage design and special effects. I hope to see you there!”
