London Prog Gigs presents MOON SAFARI live at Downstairs at The Dome
Swedish progressive rock veterans MOON SAFARI are back in London as part of their 20th anniversary tour. Marking two decades since the release of their debut album ‘A Doorway to Summer’, the band is following on the success of their latest critically acclaimed studio album ‘Himlabacken Vol. 2’ which earned them a top five spot in the Prog Magazine Readers Poll of 2023 and saw them play for sold out crowds in Japan, UK, Norway and Sweden.
Moon Safari have risen to be one of the top contenders on the melodic progressive rock scene. With five studio albums, two live recordings and a list of past shows including opening slots for Yes at the Royal Albert hall in 2016 and for ex-Marillion frontman Fish in 2018, together with several sold out headline tours in Japan and five appearances on Cruise to the Edge, the band has racked up an impressive list of accomplishments for a independent act that still releases all their music on their label Blomljud Records.
On this tour the band will be putting on a big, varied show spanning their whole 20-year career to appeal both to the old school Moon Safari listeners and newcomers alike. Highly recommended for fans of classic melodic progressive rock with big vocal arrangements!
Johan Westerlund (bass, backing and occasional lead vocals) says:
"We're delighted to announce this London show as part of our 20th anniversary tour. We've played a number of times in this great city and our fans there have always pushed us to another level. Last year at the Dome was spectacular so we're really stoked to be back"
