Marillion Weekend Schedules:

Weekend two is in Canada on March 22-24, 2013, at the Théâtre L'Olympia in Montréal where the concerts will feature the three unique shows performed at the Holland weekend. The Canadian convention is different as there are no structured outside activities planned apart from the evening concerts and they do no provide accommodation for attendees.

Weekend three is at home in the UK, April 12-14, 2013, at the Civic Wolverhampton. As with Montreal, the concerts will feature a different show every night and will be based around the shows in Holland.
