The chance to see Marillion play with 2,000 hardcore fans was a magical experience. One of the best shows I've ever seen!
Marillion is one of those bands that most people don't "get", which is unfortunate as they provide a truly transcendent experience when performing live. Lots of bands can provide a rocking good time, and Marillion can certainly rock with the best of them, but they also offer a musical kaleidoscope of emotions and feelings that leave chills for the viewer.
Once again, Marillion prove that they are probably the best band in the world! Three spectacular days of new and old favourites, deep cuts, rarities, laughter and tears and *all* the feels. Incredible performances, emotional music, and an atmosphere that will never be duplicated - the Weekend is an experience like no other. Can't wait for the next one!

We follow Marillion since many years. In 2023 we were in Port Zélande, Haarlem, Padova, Montréal and we will be in Berlin. Sincerely, it's always a great pleasure to see them, all the members, management....are really excellent persons. It's always magical moments. Philippe CUVELIER
Simply superb! Amazing performances that continue to deliver! Bring on the next album/tour! Looking forward to Marillion Weekend 2025!
Amazing Wonderful Not enough word too tell my gratitude WoW WoW WoW
Greatest band in the world!🎸 Sound was awesome band in great form! I
Three consecutive nights, three completely different setlists, and some of the most welcoming & friendly fans. You’ll make lots of friends, you may even bump into the band in the streets! The music is sublime & the band’s manager makes sure everyone feels like part of the celebration. Book seated tickets early if you want seats—three nights is a long time to stand!
This was the 8th time I've seen Marillion since Oct.1987 at Massey Hall; Toronto. This one will not only be remembered as my favourite Marillion concert, but my favourite concert (period) of all-time. The venue, the crowd, the sound quality were all expectedly wonderful, but the one pleasant surprise was how well H's voice held up. I was initially quite concerned that his age would start to show, as it has with so many of my heroes, but he held it together so well for so long. The band's musicianship was exceptional, and broadcast nicely in the cozy venue; both with composition and performance. But these clearly are 5 gentlemen that l proudly went to see; very different from the similarly aged Rammstein retards that were still asking the audience members to flash tits, like they were still in highschool.
What a band to give 3 different concerts in 3 nights to give their fans. Simply amazing band and amazing music and really close to their fans just a pure enjoyment.
Brilliant. Everything they say about this thing is true! It's an unbelievable, beautiful experience. We already know that the band is extraordinary, but there's a whole lot more to this than that. I've been to many great shows over the course of many years, but there is nothing to compare this to. There's no chance that I ever miss another one, so the next one can't come soon enough!
I've been to a few Marillion Weekend events in Montreal over the years. Missed the last one unfortunately. I've taken my son to one before and this time I brought my daughter for her first concert experience. Couldn't have been better! So glad to see that H is still delivering his vocal performance with as much energy and passion as the first time I saw him. Simply Top Notch! The venue is superb and the fans are like family to one another. The new album sounded even better live!
Marillion Weekends are highly recommended for anyone who likes the band. The shows were mind-blowingly good, and the fans were friendly, welcoming, and excited to see a first-timer (fan since 1989, but had never seen a Marillion concert before).
so well done its was an amazing experience. the music and fan interaction was just incredible. cant wait for the next weekend
Marillion Weekend Montreal 2022 was an event any prog-rock fan should experience. This band is amazing and their music is second to none. Well crafted setlist for each of 3 nights. It's a shame this band is not promoted on most radio stations, as their list of songs can be played on any stations. Marillion members have mastered the talent!
Despite of not having received the printed tickets we've offered and no answer to about the e-mail concerning that fact, we could manage being part of the event (so that's why I leave only 4 stars). The location itself was the most worthable spot we've been to! Best view and sound to the stage from every point you are at the theatre. The stage looked so cool, as it's framed. Pretty organized and friendly staff. We'll definitly trying to come back!
L´Olympia est magique. Marillion en très grande forme.
This was my second Marillion Weekend. While you never forget your first time this time was filled once again with three nights of bliss. Every night a different set of songs that made me sing, scream, gave me goosebumps and had me crying. Only Marillion brings out this kind of emotion in me and no other band has such an intense connection with their fans. Those who know, know what it's like.
Ok, so I'm biassed. I think Marillion is still consistently one of the best bands still making great records after 40 years. I have been to many shows around the world. I have been to the Marillion Weekend in the Netherlands, which is supposed to be THE experience. But this weekend in Montreal was hands down the best in 35 years of seeing the band live. The L'Olympia is a perfect standing room facility. The city is welcoming, affordable and friendly (with great food and beer). I will pass on the Netherlands weekends from now on, and just go to Montreal. Spectacular weekend.
