AYREON will release their new “Electric Castle Live And Other Tales” 3 LP/2CD+DVD/BD set on 27th March via Music Theories Recordings/Mascot Label Group!

If the bedrock of progressive rock is to throw caution to the wind and to indulge your wildest musical flights of fancy, then Arjen Anthony Lucassen is a modern-day titan of the genre.

Arjen Lucassen:

“Here is the final preview from the Electric Castle Live release for you… are you ready for this Amazing Flight in Space? Just watch this cool Hippie dude (me!) wipe the floor with that uncool Barbarian 🙂 And what a band! Oh… some friendly advice for your parents out there… please tell your kids not to follow the bad example of this crazy Hippie and his naughty water-pipe!”

On March 27 Music Theories Recordings/Mascot Label Group release ‘Ayreon – Electric Castle Live And Other Tales’, a 3 LP/2CD+DVD/BD set of last year’s spectacular live performance of the third Ayreon album ‘Into The Electric Castle’. Over four nights at Tilburg’s 013 venue (the scene of Lucassen’s Ayreon Universe series of live shows in 2017) Lucassen, his band and one of modern progressive music’s most emphatic of casts celebrated the 20^th anniversary of ‘Into the Electric Castle’ in front of 12,000 adoring fans from 64 different countries who had flown in from around the world.
