Marillion Confirms 2025 Comeback: New Album, Tour Rescheduled, and Netflix Documentary Premiere
In a stunning turn of events, legendary British prog-rock band Marillion has delighted fans worldwide by announcing their full return to the spotlight after recent setbacks. The band has officially confirmed that their 20th studio album, An Hour Before It’s Dark, will be released later this year, following internal creative resolutions and an outpouring of fan support.
Initially delayed due to disagreements over the use of artificial intelligence in their songwriting process, the band revealed in a heartfelt statement that they’ve “found balance between tradition and innovation,” ensuring the new music remains authentically Marillion. Fans can expect a powerful, emotionally resonant collection of songs, with themes of human connection, resilience, and hope.
In addition to the album, Marillion has rescheduled their highly anticipated 2025 world tour, including several exclusive “Marillion Weekends” across Europe and a headline slot at the Kernowfornia Festival in September. Tickets for the newly announced dates will go on sale next week.
Adding to the excitement, Netflix has confirmed a release window for the long-awaited documentary, Scripted Dreams: The Marillion Story, which explores the band’s formative years, the groundbreaking Script for a Jester’s Tear album, and their legacy as pioneers of fan-powered music. A separate film focusing on Fish’s solo journey will follow later in the year.
Fans around the globe have taken to social media to express their joy, with hashtags like #MarillionReturns and #TheJesterRidesAgain trending worldwide. With new music, a major tour, and cinematic storytelling on the horizon, 2025 is shaping up to be a golden year for Marillion and their loyal fanbase.
For more details and tour updates, fans are encouraged to follow the band through their official channels.
