As the 40th anniversary celebrations of Misplaced Childhood continue to captivate Marillion fans across the UK, acclaimed tribute band Marquee Square Heroes bring their powerful and emotionally charged recreation of Fish-era Marillion to The Butler, Reading.
Following a series of sold-out shows in 2025, this special performance will feature Misplaced Childhood in its entirety, from the haunting opening of Pseudo Silk Kimono to the uplifting finale of White Feather. Expect all the passion, precision, and theatrical energy that made the original 1985 masterpiece such a landmark in British progressive rock.
The tour also marks the anniversary of Brief Encounter, the live EP that helped establish Marillion’s cult following in the US. Fans can look forward to a set that celebrates not just the music but the atmosphere of Marillion’s golden era, complete with soaring vocals, intricate guitar lines, and lush keyboards resonating beautifully within the church’s gothic space.
In addition to Misplaced Childhood, Marquee Square Heroes will perform classic tracks from Clutching at Straws and the Market Square Heroes EP.
🎸 For prog enthusiasts, this is more than a tribute. It is a lovingly crafted experience that captures the emotional heart and creative spirit of one of the genre’s most cherished albums.
