Often referred to as the leaders of the neo-progressive movement of the early 80s, Marillion is a great deal more than that. They are purveyors of soulful, powerful, and deeply-moving music, with a long-standing reputation of impressive live shows and an imposing, faithful and loyal global fan base.
As the first of their peers, Marillion have started to embrace the potential of the internet for both their commercial approach and to interact with their audience. Throughout their over 35 year-long career and over 15 million records sold they have become the most outstanding representatives of their genre. With their latest studio album “F*** Everyone And Run (F E A R)“, their second one released by earMUSIC and the band’s highest charting album across the globe since Steve Hogarth joined in 1989, Marillion have shown that they are as brilliant and vital as ever.
A carefully curated and strictly limited and numbered series of Marillion live albums will be released in retail stores across the globe for the very first time. Each of these individual concerts perfectly captures the unique magic around Marillion. This Limited Edition series consists of 10 fantastic live albums, each limited to 5000 copies worldwide, which will be released in pairs.
Live Series Part 4: “Happiness Is Cologne” & “Popular Music” will be released on January 18th, 2019. The final part of the Live Series (Part 5) “Live In Glasgow” & “Brave Live” will be released on March 01st, 2019.
“Happiness Is Cologne” shows the performance from the band’s 2008 ‘Happiness is the Road‘ performance in Cologne, Germany in 2008. “Popular Music” is a very special performance – not of a full album – but instead featuring songs voted for by fans. This was recorded live at the MarillionWeekend 2003 in Minehead, England.
