Following on from the storm last night we have made the decision to postpone tonight’s concert as the safety of the band, audience and staff must be our number one priority.

Regrettably due to unforeseen circumstances the concert has now been rescheduled to the 14th March 2025.

Classic PROG rock within an intimate setting, what’s not to love about that?

If you are a lover of great music, then you will definitely want to see Magenta. Their stage presence and amiable interaction with the audience feels as if everyone present is an old friend. The whole experience is relaxed and enjoyable, the band especially focusing on their audience relationship.

Magenta as ever focus on songs of anger, love and sadness. Tonight this includes solo tracks from the band and Magenta favourites such as ‘Pearl’ , ‘Speechless’ and ‘Lizard King’. As in past years special guests are lined up to make this a very special night and this year Nick Barrett from Prog group Pendragon and Magenta maestro, Rob Reed’s daughter – Roise – joins the band on stage! The encore included two great versions of Solsbury Hill and Comfortably Numb… what more could you want?!

Magenta effortlessly communicate songs, telling stories and making the audience feel part of the event . This sets the band apart from others – it shows they care.

I went into this concert not knowing what to expect, I left feeling as if I was a part of the band. They combine anthemic songs with acoustic slower songs emphasising why the band has for decades proved to be one the best loved PROG bands around and certainly Wales’ finest.

I would highly recommend Magenta to anyone looking for a concert with some classic rock, mixed with many surprises which take you on a journey through some of Prog’s finest music.
