Marillion will undertake a nine-date UK tour in September 2022. The band said, “We are once again looking forward to our shows in September in conjunction with Kilimanjaro and we can't wait to get out there and play the new album to the fans”.

The tour follows the release of the brand new Marillion album, ‘An Hour Before It’s Dark’ which has received rave reviews. ‘An Hour Before It's Dark’ - Whether it's the last hour you were allowed to play outside as a child before you had to go home, a reference to the fight against time in relation to the climate crisis or the last minutes in a person's life, Marillion once again put their finger on the pulse of time.

Be it social, political, or personal issues, Marillion has never minced words and have always found a way to combine them with their own unique sound. The band are known for incredible songwriting, melodies and top-notch musicianship, while swimming against the tide, not bending to norms and limitations.  The first single ‘Be Hard On Yourself’ couldn't be a better example.
 
Like its predecessor, 2016's critically acclaimed and chart-topping album ‘F*** Everyone And Run (F E A R)’, ‘An Hour Before It's Dark’ was recorded at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios, which also provided the perfect backdrop for the carefully chosen selection of behind-the-scenes footage in form of a documentary on the making of the album and a performance of ‘Murder Machines’ from Real World that has been released together with the album.
  
Founded in 1979, Marillion has, over the course of 20 studio albums, become one of the most commercially successful progressive rock bands. Marillion embraced the internet for both their commercial approach and to interact with their audience, long before most of their peers.

The band are welcoming Luke Jackson as the support.
