Arjen Lucassen: “After the huge success of the four sold-out Ayreon theater shows in 2015, Joost and I decided to boldly go even bigger,” says Arjen. “This is a full-on ‘best of Ayreon’ rock show in a big venue with as many original Ayreon singers and musicians as possible. We’re calling it Ayreon Universe, and as you might guess, it’s a huge undertaking. We’ve had an entire team working on it for over a year already. Ayreon fans have high expectations, and we want to be sure to give them a once-in-a-lifetime experience that they’ll never forget.”
“Ayreon Universe is bound to become one of the most unique live events ever in the symphonic and progressive rock/metal genre,” says musical director Joost van den Broek. “We’re combining a big selection of top vocalists and instrumentalists who have never been on one stage together before. The music of Ayreon sets the bar really high, pushing everyone involved to their limits. In the upcoming months of preparation towards the shows we will do everything possible to create a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ experience and performance, living up to all the fans’ expectations.”
