Following the success of the 2024 release “Mission To Mars,” which sold out its initial pressing, the band is now back in the studio finalizing the next chapters of the trilogy. From headlining Nene Valley Rock Festival (UK) and 2Days Prog + 1 (Italy) to successful runs through historic US theaters, Nektar is reclaiming the global stage. It’s time to rediscover Nektar.THE LEGACYFormed in Hamburg in 1969, Nektar pioneered the “Sound and Light Theatre” with a run of masterpieces: “Journey to the Centre of the Eye” (1971), “A Tab in the Ocean” (1972), the U.S. Top 20 hit “Remember the Future” (1973), the gold-selling “Down to Earth” (1974), and “Recycled” (1975). These works established Nektar as a global force in progressive rock.UNFINISHED BUSINESS: THE 1978 CONNECTIONThe current era began in a 1978 studio session in New Jersey. Following the departure of Roye Albrighton, Ryche Chlanda joined founding member Derek “Mo” Moore, forming a powerhouse songwriting partnership. When the band reformed in 2019, Mo Moore called it “Unfinished Business.” Those sessions became the foundation for the 2020 album The Other Side.Building on that established Moore/Chlanda foundation, and now with Kendall Scott in the writing mix, the band delivered the sold-out Mission To Mars, setting the stage for the chapters currently in production.THE POWERHOUSE LINEUPRYCHE CHLANDA (Lead Vocals / Guitars)DEREK “MO” MOORE (Bass / Vocals)KENDALL SCOTT (Keyboards / Orchestration)JAY DITTAMO (Drums / Percussion)MARYANN CASTELLO (Vocals)THE VISUAL EXPERIENCENektar is a total immersion of the senses. Under the direction of Jay Petsko, the band’s signature visual production has evolved into a modern, reactive experience. As the band drives the music forward with its signature power and precision, Petsko’s projections move in sync with the performance. It is a living, sonic landscape where the audience doesn’t just hear the music; they experience it.PRESS & PRAISE: 2024–2026ON THE RECORD: MISSION TO MARS“One of the best studio recordings released by any legacy rockers this year, hands down… Modern, fresh, and skillfully executed.” — Goldmine Magazine“The songwriting partnership of Chlanda, Moore, and Kendall Scott has reignited a fire—it’s the perfect launchpad for this trilogy.” — MuzikMan’s ReviewsON THE STAGE: THE LIVE EXPERIENCE“Ryche Chlanda knocks it out of the park… a soulful texture in his voice and killer improvisation.
