MARILLION
VENUE ROYAL ALBERT HALL, LONDON
DATE 18/11/2019
There’s a moment during , towards the end of Marillion’s main set tonight at the Royal Albert Hall, when is truly struck by the horrible prescience of Steve Hogarth’s scathing lyric, as the line flashes repeatedly on a screen high album was released in 2016, into a world then-recently hit with the twin barrels of Donald Trump and Brexit. Almost four years down the line, with the world’s precarious political state and the looming threat of a British government intent on crashing the country out of Europe in the harshest manner possible (by the time you read this we’ll know if that’s a reality) bearing down upon us, it seems scarier still.
