Welcome back to the circus...

Marquee Square Heroes are a passionate tribute to the early years of Marillion — a celebration of the emotion, storytelling, and musical power that defined a generation.

Featuring veteran neo-prog musicians, including contemporaries from Marillion’s Marquee days, the band deliver an authentic two-and-a-half-hour journey through Fish’s era, capturing the drama and nostalgia of those halcyon days.

Praised by PROG Magazine and loved by original fans, Marquee Square Heroes offer more than tribute — they rekindle the magic of a time when music truly meant everything.
