COLIN EDWIN AND JOHN WESLEY JOIN FORCES AND SET SAIL WITH THEIR NEW PROJECT VOYAGE 35

Fifteen years after their last performance with Porcupine Tree, bassist Colin Edwin and former touring guitarist John Wesley are set to revisit the band’s early material under the name Colin Edwin & John Wesley’s Voyage 35.

And, as part of those plans, the duo have announced live dates for 2026, including three shows in Holland between September 10 and 12 and an appearance at Italy’s 2Days Prog + 1 Festival, with UK dates also in the works. The set will focus on songs from Porcupine Tree’s Delirium and Snapper-label eras, spanning 1992’s Voyage 34 single to 2000's Lightbulb Sun album. The performances will feature Porcupine Tree’s original lightshow by Fruit Salad Lights.

"There's a lot of people who never got a chance to see these songs live, because the second line-up didn't play them very much," says Edwin as he explains to Prog the reasoning behind the new project. "I get messages from people saying how much they liked the old stuff. It made me realise that it was better than I remembered it to be."

PELAGIC FEST

Once a record label showcase held now and again in Berlin, Pelagic Fest has flourished into a bona fide annual getaway for progressive music fans. For the second year in a row, it's taking up two days at Muziekgieterij, a club in the sleepy Dutch city of Maastricht renowned for its sound quality and state-of-the-art light shows. The bill is dominated, as ever, by artists signed to the Pelagic roster, but with This Will Destroy You and Ihsahn headlining, this is by far the biggest and most diverse lineup to date.

JO QUAIL

There's no pomposity to the opening with the release of Jo Quail's seventh studio album, Notan. Even though her music is elegant and refined, the cellist has no airs or graces - she's seen soundchecking herself and chatting with the audience pre-show, a white hoodie slung over her long black dress.

SYMPHONY X

During the encore of Symphony X's LA concert, vocalist Russell Allen - a California native - tells the sold-out crowd why he left his home state 35 years ago. After finishing high school, he says, he began working as a knight on horseback at a local medieval-themed dinner theatre. When the company opened a sister location across the country, Allen was one of the employees sent east to help get the new business up and running. It was supposed to be a six-month deployment, he explains, but while he was there he “met a Jersey girl” and never returned.
