Prog giants Arena were founded in 1995 by two celebrities of the scene: Mick Pointer (ex-Marillion) and Clive Nolan (Pendragon, Shadowland, Strangers On A Train, Caamora). Together with guitarist John Mitchell (Frost*), bassist Kylan Amos, and with the charismatic Paul Manzi (Oliver Wakeman Band) on the vocals, the band return with a brand new studio album The Unquiet Sky. But there is more! During the Polish leg of their upcoming tour, the band will record their new DVD release.

The release of their eighth studio album will be followed by a tour scheduled for March and April. Here's a new song:



Clive Nolan comments: "2015 marks the 20th anniversary of Arena and we are planning a substantial tour to celebrate this event. To coincide with this tour we are releasing a new studio album. It will be a concept album loosely based on an M.R. James horror story, with plenty of strong themes and dark drama... Pure, classic Arena!"





Clive Nolan adds: "The Arena Unquiet Sky Tour is approaching fast and one of the highlights of these concerts will be the DVD show at the Rialto in Katowice on 9th April. We are promoting the new album as well as celebrating 20 years of Arena ... it's going to be quite a set list representing all our albums along the way, and maybe a few surprises..;) Don't miss this chance to be a part of this little bit of history!"

In Katowice, Arena will be supported by the Dutch progressive rock band Knight Area. Their show will be also recorded for their first official DVD release.
