Pendragon — 3 November 2026, Apolo 2 (Barcelona)

Progressive Rock

Pendragon stop in Barcelona on a short tour, while they prepare the new album

Pendragon perform at Apolo 2 on Tuesday 3 November, at eight in the evening, tickets 45 € on the door. The show is part of the Whistle Stop Tour, a short six-date run through the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium and Luxembourg: Southampton (30 October), Zoetermeer (1 November), Barcelona (3rd), Madrid (4th), Verviers (6th) and Dudelange (7th). The date is run by Neverland Concerts.

There’s no new album to promote: the band is out on the road while recording the follow-up to “Love Over Fear” (2020), expected in 2027. Neither the band nor the promoter has published a setlist for this tour. What the eleven studio albums give you is the house mark: long tracks and a guitar that sings, closer to David Gilmour than to the virtuoso school.

Pendragon formed in 1978 and came out of the same British crop as Marillion and IQ, the one that put British prog back on the charts in the early eighties — Marillion’s “Misplaced Childhood” went to number one in the UK in 1985. They’ve released eleven studio albums, the last in 2020, and have never stopped touring Europe. Nick Barrett, guitarist and singer, is the only member who’s been there since the start; bassist Peter Gee joined in 1981 and is the next-longest serving.
