In September 2025, the city of Tilburg in the Netherlands was transformed into Ayreon City for six spectacular shows, bringing together 15,000 fans from 71 countries.

The event marked 30 years since the release of Ayreon's debut album, The Final Experiment (1995).

This massive production involved over 100 cast and crew members, featuring a unique stage design, stunning visuals, and special effects that elevated the show beyond a concert into a true theatrical happening.

Ayreonauts experienced a one-of-a-kind live show spanning three decades of Ayreon history, featuring beloved fan favorites, as well as songs never performed live before.

The setlist included songs from Into The Electric Castle ("Amazing Flight," "Valley Of The Queens," "Castle Hall"), The Final Experiment ("Dreamtime," "Sail Away To Avalon"), and more.

The album also features the musical majesty of a cast of many fan-favorite Ayreon vocalists, including Arjen Lucassen himself, as well as special guests like Tommy Karevik (Kamelot), Anneke van Giersbergen, Dino Jelusick (Trans-Siberian Orchestra), and more.

The album includes a one-of-a-kind live video of the song "Loser," originally from the 2004 album The Human Equation.

Arjen Lucassen calls this performance truly capturing the magic of the night, with iconic opening notes on the didgeridoo by Jeroen Goossens and virtuoso drumming by Ed Warby.

The event will be released on May 22 via Music Theories Recordings/Artone, with a variety of formats including Ltd Edition Box Set, 3LP Red, Earbook, 2CD + DVD, Bluray, and Digital pre-order available now at BraveWordsRecords.com.
