AYREON – 01011001 Live Beneath The Waves [Live] (2024) HQ *Exclusive*

An AYREON live event is not just any concert. It’s a special occasion where the highest-calibre musicians and an enormous production come together to forge a bombastic spectacle. The rarity of these shows only adds to their uniqueness.
In September 2023, Arjen Lucassen’s “01011001 – Live Beneath the Waves” sold out five performances at Poppodium 013 in Tilburg, The Netherlands. This live production, based on the critically acclaimed 2008 concept album ‘01011001’, was performed in its entirety, followed by a number of encore songs.

Ayreon mastermind Arjen Lucassen, alongside keyboardist Joost van den Broek assembled a remarkable lineup, featuring many original cast members from the 01011001 album and various special guests such as Simone Simons (Epica), Damian Wilson (Threshold), Anneke van Giersbergen, Jonas Renkse (Katatonia), Tom Englund (Evergrey), Daniel Gildenlow (Pain of Salvation), Marcela Bovio (MaYan), Brittney Slayes (Unleash the Archers), Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian), John Jaycee Cuijpers (Praying Mantis), Maggy Luyten (Beautiful Sin), Michael Mills (Toehider) and Wudstik, among other incredible musicians.
The band featured top instrumentalists from the genre – Ed Warby (Drums), Johan van Stratum (Bass), Timo Somers (Guitar), Marcel Coenen (Guitar), Joost Van Den Broek (Keyboards) and more.
The enigmatic Lucassen himself made an appearance, marking this as the largest cast in Ayreon’s live show history, which is no mean feat. “01011001 Live Beneath the Waves” vividly brings to life the water planet Y, immersing audiences in this technological underwater world.
