Since 2002 and in a 2-year cycle Marillion welcome their fans to a very special event: the 'Marillion' weekend. On three nights their fans dive even deeper into the ‘Marillion’ world by meeting the band face-to-face and enjoying three different shows with different setlists consisting of full records played from start to finish, fan favourites and rarities.
In March 2015 the 'Marillion' weekend took place at Center Parcs, Port Zélande, The Netherlands. Thousands of fans from all across the world came together to be part of this incredible event. Marillion devoted their Saturday evening show to their brilliant album “Marbles” and performed all songs and a fine selection of encore tracks.
For the first time ever this impressive live show containing stunning projections and laser effects as well as the superb high definition sound will be available on 2CD, DVD and Blu-ray - "Marbles In The Park" will be released January 20th, 2017.
Marillion’s music always aims at the greatest possible effect, with a huge sound expenditure they evoke fervor and passion. To hear ‘Marbles’ in this live garment is a listening experience par excellence!
With their most recent studio album „F***Everyone And Run (F E A R)“, released in September 2016, Marillion entered the official UK album charts at No. 4 - the band's highest position since Steve Hogarth joined in 1989. Their success is not only limited to the UK; across Europe Marillion achieved the band's highest chart positions since more than 20 years!

I’m kicking myself that it took me so long to realise this is the best band on the planet, never sold out like others , all get on so well and are fabulous composers/musicians and their music will live forever- please keep going guys , the world needs you!

[@eleonoradini2371]

Their performances are among the most amazing in prog rock history.

[@cheesehead500]

I'm 22 years old, and my parents raised me badly when it comes to music. But now i've discover Marillion and it feels like coming home. What a band, goosebumps everywhere.

[@tiffy72it]

Welcome home!

[@peterrobinson3256]

I know it's a cliche, but words cannot do justice to this piece of music. Wow

[@garypritchett8136]

I've said it before, if this doesn't move you, then you are musically dead!. My all time favourite Marillion track. "Put your arms around my soul & take it dancing"... best line ever written. Marillion for ever!

[@tullphantom]

me too

[@tullphantom]

I was gutted they never played it at the Leicester 2022 Marillion Weekend!!!

[@canalaverdade.]

Perfect song.

Such poetry and Scottish romantic prose is so eloquent. Have they ever done Loch Lomond? If not, they bloody should.

[@oldgriff2649]

Well I’m 65 this year 2021 and I’ve finally found THE ultimate band their music their personalities the way they just love entertaining their fans and generally enjoying the fantastic music they are playing..thank you Marillion for holding everything together for me..

[@oldgriff2649]

@@Rosalicious297 funny that’s exactly how I felt I was listening to Fantastic Place and tears started filling my eyes 👀 ..totally blown away by the quality of their music..

[@oldgriff2649]

Easter does it to me every time I listen to it..tears of happiness fill my eyes ..it’s such a beautiful piece of music..

[@joysherriff8461]

I'm 63, a lifelong prog fan and feel just the same. This song and H's voice does something to me. I'm an addict!💗

[@ilovesuisse1]

It’s 16 June 2022 and i’m loving this, will be 67 next month and love Marillion.

[@ricardovalderrama7618]

It took you too long 😅

[@rodrigoallendes2513]

Terrific song...Steve Rothery is one of the finest and most sensitive guitarists in the history of popular music and hearing H's voice is the closest a human being can get to a fantastic place, Marillion is my favorite band even over Pink Floyd.

[@SoundtrackAudioCom]

One of the most perfect songs ever written.

[@72Z15SS]

Everything about this song is Fantastic. The Meaning behind the Lyrics, the Guitar, the Vocals etc. I Love Marillion!!

[@ronnieschur5139]

By far one of the finest bands in the world! Their music speaks to the soul.

[@oldgriff8559]

Fantastic..one of the best pieces of music I've ever heard..brings me to tears..love it..

[@tunnelboy8250]

Greatest band ever.. Loved them since I ought script as a 13 year old in 1983.a natural progression for me having listening to my older brothers genesis albums in the 70s. To think I was 7 years of age and playing suppers ready over and over

[@mileshouse]

About as good as it gets! The "uncool" Marillion at there very best! People don't know what they are missing, the best band you have never heard of - brilliant!

[@CarolH2O]

I dont know, I think they're pretty cool...

[@Upstairsforpete]

I cant really disagree with anything you said there, but I dont care that we live in a instant gratification society and people cant be bothered to "find" quality music , Its out there but you have to work a bit .....

[@ilovesuisse1]

Yeah, i agree. Just a super band.

[@Yesquire0]

@@CarolH2O Cool as F**k.

[@ikkeennietjij]

As I think about what I've misssed out on the decades after Fish, I sooth my soul now, everytime I listen to their music. Time and time again, even more after the birth of my son, almost two years ago now. Not rushing myself, always surprising myself in finding new (old) songs that knock on my door and will never leave. Fantastic place is my present for januari 2020, which takes my to my fantastic place inside my heart. It sooths, softens and most of all it comforts me and makes me feel I càn be a great father for my children... Thanx guys :-)

[@davemansell66]

Was lucky enough to have seen the best band in the world again on Friday night This song is just another level Of course they played it Why wouldn't they? Marbles will never be surpassed Marillion the best kept secret in the world?

[@ilovesuisse1]

I can listen to this heaps of times and never get sick of it.

[@kooswijma5838]

I was there and had goosebumps everywhere. Cried my tears out because of the memories....

[@lewisedits5008]

I have only just ‘found ‘ Marillion and realise what I have missed all these years. Just love all their music and think they are so underrated . Best band of all for me. Really excited as I have tickets to see them at the Roundhouse in November. Can’t wait!!

[@andregeense4691]

Deze moet gewoon 2x achterelkaar afgespeeld !!wat ontzettend mooi!

[@mpower5000]

Quintessential Marillion love song. Just like Neverland

[@volkern9108]

Soooo Wonderful ! I am listening to their music since more than 30 years, one of the best bands ever.

[@davidandrew5965]

Never heard this song before but I know Kayleigh and this man's voice will never disappoint.

[@MaryChrisMaryCdiliapo]

💕💕💖💖💖 It's always a struggle To let somebody go It's a natural desire To own your lover, I know And you can screw a man down Until he takes to drinking He'll give you all of his money You still won't know what he's thinking Take me to the fantastic place Keep the rest of my life away Take me to the fantastic place Keep the rest of my life away Take me to the island I'll watch the rain over your shoulder The streetlights in the water The moment outside of real life I never could dream while I was sleeping Put your arms around my soul And take it dancing.. Take me to the fantastic place Keep the rest of my life away Take me to the fantastic place Keep the rest of my life away Take me to the island I'll watch the rain over your shoulder The streetlights on the wet stone The moment outside of real life Say you understand me And I will leave myself completely Forgive me if I stare But I can see the island behind your tired, troubled eyes Take me to the island I'll tell you all I never told you The boy I never showed you More than I gave in my life Take me by the hand You'll either kill me or you'll save me Take me to the island Show me what might be real life

[@soundchaser1097]

Thanks for the lyrics, Mary!

[@dennish72]

[@jimandjohurst]

Yes, and one of the best guitarists in the world, ever, Rothery defines Marillion past and present, with his signature play.

[@gordondodds5537]

One of the most underrated guitarist, Steve Rothery is a wizard

[@talibe801]

and that Squire guitar,plays like fire.

[@SerHenkan]

Rothery is amazing; the only issue I have with his playing is his frenetic vibrato in live recordings. He manages to hold back in the studio though.

[@arunsabherwal6256]

David Gilmour, Steve Rothery, Andy Latimer are the top 🎸tone masters

[@canalaverdade.]

Agree! And an amazing vocalist.

[@myriammelly9487]

J'en ai les larmes aux yeux tant c'est beau !!! Je vous adore Marillion !!! Merci des centaines de milliers de fois d'exister !!!

[@rudyarmawan]

[@loud7070]

Quintessential Marillion. Goose bumps as always. What an amazing piece and performance.

[@guilhermetorelly3313]

This is completely speechless. Time passed and for today i can only listen to Marillion from H´s phase. I can´t even stand Fish´s era. This is from another level. H is one of the most incredible human beings in the music industry.

Este tema de Marillion es una obra maestra al mismo nivel que uno de los mejores temas de Pink Floyd inclusive en cuanto a los matices de sus sonidos. No sé cómo este tema y en esta versión no trascendió como debía. Amo su música ❤️
