Fish Announces Special Acoustic Tour Celebrating 40 Years of Marillion’s ‘Script for a Jester’s Tear’

In an exciting update that has thrilled prog rock fans worldwide, Fish, the original voice of Marillion, has announced a special acoustic tour to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the band’s groundbreaking debut album, Script for a Jester’s Tear.

Set to kick off this fall, the tour will feature Fish performing stripped-down versions of the entire Script for a Jester’s Tear album alongside some of his favorite solo material. The intimate shows promise a unique experience, with Fish sharing stories behind the songs, reflecting on his time with Marillion, and connecting deeply with audiences in smaller, more personal venues.

“I’ve always felt a special connection to Script,” Fish shared in a recent interview. “It was a milestone—not just for me but for everyone who was part of that era. To revisit those songs acoustically, after 40 years, feels like the right time to celebrate the magic we created together.”

The announcement comes after years of fans expressing their desire to hear Fish revisit his classic Marillion material live, especially since his retirement from full touring in 2023. This acoustic format allows him to perform without the physical demands of a full electric show, making it a perfect way to reconnect with fans.

Tickets are expected to go on sale next month, with early bird access offered to fan club members. Cities across Europe and the UK are on the itinerary, with talks underway to add dates in North America.

For longtime fans and new listeners alike, this tour represents a rare chance to experience Fish’s legendary voice and storytelling in a fresh, intimate setting—rekindling the spirit of one of progressive rock’s most iconic albums.
