Colosseum

progressive rock band

Colosseum stand as a cornerstone of British jazz rock and progressive rock, having been at the forefront of the genre since 1968. Founded in the United Kingdom, the group are celebrated for their adventurous integration of jazz improvisation and progressive rock's structural complexity, crafting a sound that has resonated through decades of genre-defining releases. Their impressive discography includes critically regarded albums such as "Time on Our Side," "Restoration," and the expansive "Elegy: The Recordings: 1968–1971," highlighting their continual creative evolution.

The band's commitment to live music remains undiminished, with headline concerts scheduled across revered UK venues. In late 2026, Colosseum will bring their dynamic stagecraft to Band On The Wall in Manchester, Komedia in Bath, Exeter Phoenix, The Old Woollen in Leeds, and London’s celebrated Cadogan Hall. Notably, several dates feature legendary support from Soft Machine, promising an unmissable experience for aficionados of innovative rock and jazz fusion. These concerts are a testament to Colosseum's enduring presence and influence in the live music circuit, continuing to attract discerning audiences who appreciate technically skilled, genre-blurring performance.

With both historic and new material, including their anticipated album "XI" due in March 2025, Colosseum’s setlists promise a rich journey through the ever-evolving landscape of progressive music.
