Celebrating 40 years since Marillion performed at the MK Bowl, relive the experience with Marquee Square Heroes!

More Information (MKFM is not responsible for external websites)

Join Marquee Square Heroes, a high‑energy, emotionally charged tribute to the early years of Marillion, as they deliver an authentic journey through the iconic Fish era that defined a generation.

Watch as they bring to life the legendary “Welcome to the Garden Party” concert, originally performed at the Milton Keynes Bowl in 1986, exactly 40 years ago!

This special anniversary performance recreates the energy, emotion, and theatrical spirit of Marillion at their peak, featuring the full Misplaced Childhood suite alongside classic tracks from Fugazi, Script for a Jester’s Tear, and more. Expect powerful lyrics, intricate musicianship, and all the drama that made the original show unforgettable.

Whether you were there in ’86 or are discovering this golden era for the first time, this is a night for every true Marillion fan: a celebration of one of British prog rock’s most iconic moments, lovingly revived by Marquee Square Heroes.

Step into the Garden Party once more!
