Marillion, one of the world's most brilliant and enduring live bands, returns to the UK for a tour in September and October 2026, with Haunt The Woods as the supporting act.
Marillion are playing the York Barbican on Tuesday 15 September, with Haunt The Woods opening for them. It's part of a full UK tour running through September and October 2026, and York is one of the stops. Marillion have been playing live for a long time now, and they're still touring as a full band.
They're coming off An Hour Before It's Dark, the album they put out in 2022, and a run of sold-out shows around the world. The set will draw from their whole career, so you'll hear things from the early days alongside more recent work. There's also a chance they'll play new material from a forthcoming album, which they've been hinting at. It's a long back catalogue to pull from, and they tend to mix the eras rather than sticking to one period.
Steve Hogarth, the band's singer, has spoken about the energy of their UK dates, saying the connection with the crowd is at the heart of what they do. That's a good way to frame it: the night is as much about the room as it is about the stage. Haunt The Woods take the first slot, so you'll get two bands for the price of one.
