Arjen himself will also feature on vocals. It&#8217;s shaping up to be the biggest cast of any<br \/>\nlive Ayreon show to date. The show is called \u2018<em>Live Beneath the Waves<\/em>\u2019 since most of the story of<br \/>\nthe album takes place on the aquatic Planet Y. The show will transport you visually into this<br \/>\ntechnological underwater world. Visitors can expect a massive, state-of-the-art live production<br \/>\nwith a unique decor, visuals, pyrotechnics and special FX. On top of that this show will have live<br \/>\nsurround audio, a unique and pioneering technology that will add a whole new immersive<br \/>\ndimension to the music.<\/p>\n<p>While the 2019 \u2019<em>Electric Castle Live &amp; Other Tales<\/em>\u2019 show was atmospheric and dynamic, the<br \/>\n<em>01011001<\/em> shows will be more mysterious, industrial and bombastic, translating the original<br \/>\nalbum in the most authentic way possible. Besides playing the entire album from start to finish,<br \/>\nthere will be much more to make this show a unique special occasion that Ayreon fans will not<br \/>\nwant to miss. Additional info and extra surprises will be announced in the weeks to come.<br \/>\nArjen: \u201c<em>I must say that the sheer excitement of seeing one of my favourite Ayreon albums<\/em><br \/>\n<em>01011001 come alive on stage definitely overrides my not-so-secret terror of playing live! When<\/em><br \/>\n<em>I approached the musicians and crew about joining us for this show, it was really heart-warming<\/em><br \/>\n<em>to get positive reactions within a matter of minutes! And I\u2019m sure it will be equally heart-warming<\/em><br \/>\n<em>to see the warm sea of happy faces in the crowd in the 013 venue. As always we will do our<\/em><br \/>\n<em>best to spoil everyone, hope to see you there!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To give the fans coming from all over the world the full Ayreon experience, the city of Tilburg will<br \/>\nonce again be transformed into an Ayreon city with many special Ayreon-themed events. There<br \/>\nwill be an Ayreon pop-up store with many exciting elements and special performances, and the<br \/>\n\u2018<em>Electric Castle Live &amp; Other Tales<\/em>\u2019 will be played at the Path\u00e9 cinema. There will also be an<br \/>\nAyreon camping site, big Ayreon flags all through the city and restaurants and bars will have<br \/>\nspecial Ayreon themes and deals. There will also be Ayreon beer, discount coupons for fans at<br \/>\nshops, etc etc&#8230;everything possible to make it an unforgettable experience!<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>I\u2019m very excited that we\u2019re gonna bring 01011001 live to the stage<\/em>\u201d, says lead producer Joost<br \/>\nvan den Broek, \u201c<em>This live production will raise the bar to a whole new level in all aspects for us.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>I\u2019m sure we are going to create the most impressive and epic show so far.
