Voyage 35 (ex Porcupine Tree) at CrossRoads Live Club, March 10, 2027

Voyage 35, the project of Colin Edwin and John Wesley, former Porcupine Tree musicians, plays at CrossRoads Live Club on Wednesday, March 10, 2027: doors open at 20:00, the concert starts at 22:00. The venue is in Rome at Via Braccianese 771, in the northwest quadrant of the city (Municipio XIV). The club publishes no public transportation directions, and for the route it's best to use the Rome transit company's planner, keeping in mind that the area is easier to reach by car. The price published by the club is €30 plus presale fees for tickets bought in advance and €35 at the box office on the night of the concert, subject to availability. The hall is set up with seating at tables, but the ticket alone does not entitle you to a seat: the table is booked separately, after buying the ticket, from February 10, 2027, at 06 89415678 or at crossroadsprenotazioni@gmail.com. Tickets are bought from the event page on the official website of CrossRoads Live Club, which links to the presale network authorized by the organizer.

Voyage 35 in Rome: the concert in brief

The Voyage 35 concert at CrossRoads, on March 10, 2027, is one of only two Italian dates of the project's 2027 tour. The other is Friday, March 12, at Legend Club in Milan.

The Porcupine Tree repertoire

Colin Edwin and John Wesley bring to the stage historic Porcupine Tree songs, reinterpreted, according to the club's presentation, with an experimental and innovative touch. The project mostly revives the repertoire of the Delerium and Snapper Records era, between 1992 and 2000, with songs rarely or never played live.

Not a nostalgia act

The presentation says it explicitly: not a simple trip into nostalgia, but a rereading of the past through new perspectives and a precise musical identity. For those who know the records, it's a chance to hear live songs the parent band rarely played.

Evening schedule

Doors open at 20:00 and the concert begins at 22:00. Two hours between entry and start: CrossRoads is a venue with tables, and the typical formula is to eat dinner or have a drink before the music.

Tickets and tables for Voyage 35

Tickets for Voyage 35 at CrossRoads cost €30 plus presale fees if bought in advance, €35 at the box office on the night of the concert, subject to availability.

Seating is booked separately

The hall is set up with seating at tables, but the club warns that buying the ticket does not entitle you to a seat. The table is booked separately, after buying the ticket, at 06 89415678 or by writing to crossroadsprenotazioni@gmail.com. For this concert seat reservations open on February 10, 2027.

Booking a table

The club states on its main page that table booking is free, and that for reservations you can also call 347 1694250, from 10:00 to 21:00, or send a private message on the venue's social page.

Presale or box office

With a €5 difference and the risk of finding the evening sold out, presale is the sensible choice. Ticket sales opened on September 8, 2026.

Voyage 35: the meaning of the name

The name Voyage 35 recalls Voyage 34, one of Porcupine Tree's most experimental works, recorded between 1992 and 1993: the number goes up by one, and the journey picks up where it had stopped.

Voyage 34

Voyage 34 is described by the club's presentation as the emblem of the band's most experimental phase. The pieces were recorded in 1992 and 1993. The complete version, titled Voyage 34: The Complete Trip, was collected and released in 2000 and reissued in 2004.

A statement of intent

Choosing that title means declaring which Porcupine Tree you want to play: the one from the beginnings, psychedelic and spacey, more than the one from the mature records. It is the same era, between 1992 and 2000, from which Voyage 35 draws most of its repertoire.

Porcupine Tree: the parent band

Porcupine Tree are an English progressive rock band founded by Steven Wilson in 1987, described by magazines like Classic Rock and PopMatters as the most important band you've never heard of.

From solo project to band

At the beginning Porcupine Tree was a solo project of Wilson's, who wrote and played everything. At the end of 1993 Wilson wanted to work with a band and called Richard Barbieri on keyboards, Colin Edwin on bass and Chris Maitland on drums: the first stable lineup, which stayed that way until 2002, when Gavin Harrison arrived on drums.

The sound

The band's first sound drew on psychedelic rock, space rock and experimental rock, then moved toward a progressive style compared to Pink Floyd. In the late 1990s it turned to a more direct alternative rock, and in the early 2000s, with a major label, it took a direction close to progressive metal.

The break and the return

In 2010, after the tour for the album The Incident, the band stopped and Wilson devoted himself to his solo career. Wilson, Barbieri and Harrison kept working in secret, however, until the album Closure/Continuation, released on June 24, 2022. Colin Edwin and John Wesley did not take part in that reunion.

Colin Edwin, the bass of Porcupine Tree

Colin Edwin, born Colin Edwin Balch, is an Australian musician born in Melbourne on July 2, 1970, who specializes in fretted and fretless bass, double bass and guimbri. He was Porcupine Tree's bassist from 1993 until the band's break, for 9 studio albums and 13 live albums.

The friendship with Steven Wilson

During his childhood Edwin's family moved to Hemel Hempstead, in England, where he met Steven Wilson and became his friend. In December 1993 he joined Wilson's band, playing bass, double bass and guimbri. He also played double bass for Wilson's other project, No-Man.

Founding member

CrossRoads's presentation describes him as a founding member, present from the first concert in 1993 until the break in 2010. He is the figure who gives the Voyage 35 project its historical continuity.

The other projects

After Porcupine Tree, Edwin played in Ex-Wise Heads, a long-running collaboration with the multi-instrumentalist Geoff Leigh that mixes ethnic, ambient and post-modern influences, and in projects such as Random Noise Generator, Metallic Taste of Blood and the progressive metal band O.R.k., besides many collaborations and solo records.

Why Voyage 35

According to the presentation, being left out of the 2021 reunion led Edwin to reflect on his bond with that repertoire and on the possibility of bringing it back on stage. The project recently received Steven Wilson's support.

John Wesley, the guitar of the concerts

John Wesley, born John Wesley Dearth III, is an American guitarist, singer and songwriter, best known as Porcupine Tree's live guitarist from 2002 to 2010, a period in which he played in more than 450 concerts around the world.

The collaborations

Wesley has played and collaborated with Mike Tramp, Fish, Sound of Contact, Steven Wilson, Big Elf and Edison's Children, while keeping up a solo career of 8 studio albums across alternative rock, progressive and hard rock.

The recent years

In recent years he has toured as guitarist and backing vocalist of Vertical Horizon, and with Colin Edwin he founded Voyage 35, to play the early Porcupine Tree material live.

Even Less, the Voyage 35 single

Voyage 35's latest single is Even Less, a track from the Porcupine Tree album Stupid Dream, from 1999: a melancholic epic of more than 13 minutes that the band reinterprets with a new sonic identity.

The lineup

In the Voyage 35 version, Colin Edwin's melodic bass and Alessandro Vagnoni's drums are the rhythmic heart, John Wesley's guitar adds weight and Lef's synthesizers bring in space rock and psychedelic atmospheres.

A version made for live

The result, according to the presentation, is a version made for the stage, able to keep the essence of the original while pushing its emotional and sonic potential. The video, shot in the rehearsal room, offers a close look at the band and its chemistry.

An Italian musician

On drums in Voyage 35 is Alessandro Vagnoni: for CrossRoads's audience that is one more reason for interest, in a project born between England, Australia and the United States.

The records to revisit before Voyage 35

To arrive prepared for the Voyage 35 concert, a few listens are enough, chosen from the era the project decided to bring back on stage, between 1992 and 2000.

Voyage 34

The obvious starting point: the work that gives the project its name, recorded between 1992 and 1993 and collected in the complete version The Complete Trip in 2000. It is the manifesto of the band's most experimental phase.

Stupid Dream

The 1999 album that Even Less comes from, the single Voyage 35 introduced itself with. Listening to the original before the concert lets you see how far the new version moves away from it.

For comparison

Anyone who wants to understand the distance between the early Porcupine Tree and today's can also listen to The Incident, from 2009, the last record before the break, and Closure/Continuation, from 2022, released without Edwin and Wesley. It is the quickest way to understand why Voyage 35 exists.

A curiosity about Voyage 35 (ex-Porcupine Tree) at CrossRoads Live Club, March 10, 2027

The curiosity is in the name, which contains a countdown in reverse. Voyage 34 was, in the early 1990s, a work from Porcupine Tree's most experimental phase, recorded between 1992 and 1993. 30 years later, two musicians who played those songs for years choose to call their project Voyage 35: the next number, as if the journey were starting again from the station where it had been left.

The second curiosity is a story of exclusion turned into a project. Colin Edwin, founding member of the stable 1993 lineup, and John Wesley, the live guitarist from 2002 to 2010, were not part of the 2021 reunion. Instead of turning the page, Edwin chose to take up exactly the repertoire that the re-formed band plays least: that of the early years, the era of the Delerium and Snapper Records labels. And Steven Wilson, founder of Porcupine Tree, recently expressed his support for the project.

The third is Italian. On the 2027 tour there are two Italian dates, Rome on March 10 and Milan on the 12th, and on drums there is an Italian musician, Alessandro Vagnoni.

Voyage 35's 2027 tour in Italy

Voyage 35's 2027 tour stops in Italy on just two occasions, according to CrossRoads's presentation: Wednesday, March 10 in Rome and Friday, March 12 at Legend Club in Milan.

Rome before Milan

The Rome date opens the short Italian leg. For audiences in Central and Southern Italy it is the only chance on the tour. Those who live in the North can choose Milan, with the convenience of a Friday night.

The sale

Tickets for both dates went on sale on September 8, 2026. For the Rome evening the club lists the advance price and the box office price, with table booking handled separately.

CrossRoads Live Club, the concert venue

CrossRoads Live Club is a live music venue at Via Braccianese 771, open since 2008 and presented by the club itself as the reference point in Rome and its province for concert lovers.

The format

CrossRoads is a live club with seating at tables, where you have dinner or drink during the evening. Every weekend, according to the venue's presentation, artists of national and international fame take the stage. Its stated motto is "we feed on music and give emotions."

The Hall of Fame

In the section devoted to artists who have played the venue, the club cites guitarist Andy Timmons, jazz fusion guitarist Scott Henderson, drummer Simon Phillips and bassist and singer Richard Bona: musicians of great technique, the same technique that progressive audiences appreciate.

Progressive at CrossRoads

The club's schedule gives space to progressive rock: in autumn 2026 Banco del Mutuo Soccorso presented its single Una Storia Unica there. In spring 2027, two weeks after Voyage 35, The Devon Allman Project comes.

Private events

CrossRoads also organizes private and corporate dinners, meetings, birthday parties, anniversaries and graduation parties, with an all-inclusive formula.

Something nobody tells you about Voyage 35 (ex-Porcupine Tree) at CrossRoads Live Club, March 10, 2027

What few people say is that the ticket, by itself, does not guarantee a chair. CrossRoads is a club set up with tables, and most of the audience spends the evening seated. But the club warns that buying the ticket does not entitle you to a seat. The table is booked separately, for free, after buying the ticket, starting February 10, 2027. For a concert that starts at 22:00 and features long pieces like Even Less, more than 13 minutes, anyone who arrives without a reservation risks listening to the whole thing standing, far from the stage.

The second thing is about the day. March 10, 2027 is a Wednesday, and the concert ends well after midnight. Via Braccianese is far from the center, and late at night public transport thins out. Plan the trip back before you leave, with a shared car and a driver who doesn't drink, or with a taxi booked in advance.

The third thing: the setlist is not published, but the presentation promises pieces rarely or never played live. For a Porcupine Tree fan that is the real news, even more than the names on stage.

My advice for visiting Voyage 35 (ex-Porcupine Tree) at CrossRoads Live Club, March 10, 2027

My advice is to organize the evening in three steps, because at CrossRoads the difference between a good night and an uncomfortable one is decided beforehand. First: buy the ticket in advance, at 30 euros plus fees, instead of risking the 35 euros at the box office without any certainty of finding a seat. Second: from February 10, call 06 89415678 or write to crossroadsprenotazioni@gmail.com to book the table, which is free but not automatic. Third: arrive at opening, at 20:00, and have dinner at the venue, so you are seated and relaxed when the band goes on stage at 22:00.

As for the listening, my advice is to revisit the early Porcupine Tree: Voyage 34 and the records of the Delerium and Snapper era, up to Stupid Dream from 1999, which Even Less comes from. Anyone who knows only the band of the 2000s, closer to metal, will find in Voyage 35 another face of the same story.

And one last tip, in our opinion the most useful for a Wednesday: take Thursday morning easy, if you can. A concert that starts at 22:00 in a club outside the city ends late, and the trip home comes after.

How to get to CrossRoads Live Club

CrossRoads Live Club is at Via Braccianese 771, in the territory of Roma Capitale, Municipio XIV, postal code 00123, in the northwest quadrant of the city.

By car

The venue is reached along Via Braccianese. For those coming from the center it is the most practical option, especially for the trip back after midnight. It is best to set the GPS to street number 771.

By public transport

The club does not publish public transport directions. Anyone who wants to get around without a car has to work out the route with the Roman transport company's planning service, keeping in mind the evening schedules and the fact that the concert ends very late.

By taxi

For the trip back, a taxi has to be booked in advance: in an outlying area, after midnight on a weekday, free cars don't pass by chance.

Information

For any question the club's infoline answers at 06 89415678 and 347 1694250, from 10:00 to 21:00. The address for information is info@crossroadsliveclub.it.

Another well-known fact, yet rarely mentioned

It is well known that Porcupine Tree are one of the most important progressive bands of the last 30 years. Less often remembered is that for a long time they were almost invisible to the general public, to the point that magazines like Classic Rock and PopMatters called them the most important band you've never heard of. Their fame grew slowly, outside the main circuits, with a cult following and an influence on later generations.

A second well-known and little-told fact concerns the origins. Porcupine Tree were not born as a band: for the first years they were a solo project of Steven Wilson, who composed and played everything alone. The real band was born at the end of 1993, when Wilson called Richard Barbieri, Colin Edwin and Chris Maitland. Colin Edwin, a friend of Wilson's since childhood in Hemel Hempstead, is therefore one of the musicians who turned a studio project into a stage band.

And a third fact: Porcupine Tree's sound changed several times, from the psychedelia and space rock of the beginnings, compared to Pink Floyd, to alternative rock and then progressive metal. Voyage 35 deliberately chooses the first of these seasons.

The right photo to take at Voyage 35 (ex-Porcupine Tree) at CrossRoads Live Club, March 10, 2027

The right photo, in a club with tables, is the one that tells the scale of the evening. Musicians who have played hundreds of concerts around the world, like John Wesley with his more than 450 concerts with Porcupine Tree, play at CrossRoads a few meters from people having dinner. A shot from the room, with the tables in the foreground, the low lights and the stage in the background, says more than a close-up.

The best moment, in our opinion, is the start of a long piece, when the stage lights change with Lef's synthesizers and the atmosphere turns spacey. No flash, out of respect for the musicians and the people sitting next to you, and without holding your phone up: one photo, two at most, and then you listen to the music. In a 13-minute piece the best moments come when you don't expect them.

Anyone looking for a different image can photograph Colin Edwin's bass before the start, if visible from the table: it is the instrument that links Voyage 35 to the history of Porcupine Tree since 1993.

Some important events that happened here in history

The history of CrossRoads Live Club begins in 2008, as the club itself states: since then the venue presents itself as the reference point for live music in Rome and its province, with concerts every weekend. Over the years the stage has hosted musicians such as Andy Timmons, Scott Henderson, Simon Phillips and Richard Bona, and a calendar that alternates original artists, tribute nights and shows of other genres. In November 2026 Banco del Mutuo Soccorso presented the single Una Storia Unica there.

The history that Voyage 35 brings with it is that of Porcupine Tree: in 1987 Steven Wilson founds the project. In 1992 and 1993 he records the tracks of Voyage 34. In December 1993 the first stable lineup is born, with Colin Edwin on bass. In 1999 Stupid Dream comes out, with Even Less. In 2002 John Wesley becomes the live guitarist and Gavin Harrison joins on drums. In 2009 The Incident comes out and in 2010 the band stops. In 2022 Closure/Continuation comes out, without Edwin and Wesley.

On March 10, 2027 a date is added: the Rome stop of Voyage 35, with the early songs played by the people who first brought them on stage.

Nearby and day trips

CrossRoads is on Via Braccianese, in the northwest quadrant of Rome: an area that, for those coming from outside, lends itself to combining the concert with a day out of the city.

Lake Bracciano

Those with a free afternoon can devote it to Lake Bracciano, with the villages of Bracciano and Anguillara Sabazia, and head back toward Rome for dinner at the club.

Galeria Antica and Veio

The northwest quadrant also holds the remains of the abandoned village of Galeria Antica and Veio Park, destinations for a morning for those staying in the area.

Accessibility, age and practical information

For information on accessibility at CrossRoads Live Club, on routes and on the layout of the tables, it is best to contact the venue at 06 89415678 or 347 1694250, from 10:00 to 21:00, when booking the table.

Age

The club does not state age limits for the evening. The concert starts at 22:00 on a Wednesday and ends after midnight: a hard time slot for kids who have school the next day.

Eating at the club

CrossRoads is a venue with tables and service: dinner at the club, between the 20:00 opening and the 22:00 start, is the most convenient option. Ask about the kitchen's menu and prices when booking.

March

In early March the evenings outside the city are still cold and often damp. A heavy jacket for arriving and for leaving at night is essential. Those coming from outside Rome find, in this low-season period, lodging that is easier to book even in the northwest quadrant of the city.

Who has passed through Voyage 35 (ex-Porcupine Tree) at CrossRoads Live Club, March 10, 2027

Through the history of Porcupine Tree have passed Steven Wilson, founder and soul of the band. Richard Barbieri, keyboardist of the first stable lineup. Chris Maitland, drummer until 2002. Gavin Harrison, who replaced him. Colin Edwin, on bass since 1993. John Wesley, live guitarist from 2002 to 2010. In Colin Edwin's story there are also No-Man, Wilson's other project, Geoff Leigh of Ex-Wise Heads and the bands O.R.k., Random Noise Generator and Metallic Taste of Blood.

In John Wesley's story there are Mike Tramp, Fish, Sound of Contact, Big Elf, Edison's Children and Vertical Horizon. In the Voyage 35 lineup there are Alessandro Vagnoni on drums and Lef on synthesizers.

Through the stage of CrossRoads have passed Andy Timmons, Scott Henderson, Simon Phillips, Richard Bona and, in autumn 2026, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso. On March 10, 2027 Colin Edwin, John Wesley, Alessandro Vagnoni and Lef pass through Via Braccianese, with the songs of the early Porcupine Tree.

How to organize the evening of March 10

A concert at 22:00 on a Wednesday, in a club outside the city, is organized in three stages: the trip, the dinner, the return.

The trip

Those coming from the center by car should leave with some margin, to be at CrossRoads around 20:00, when the doors open. Sharing a car among friends cuts costs and solves the parking problem.

The dinner

CrossRoads is a venue with tables and service: between 20:00 and 22:00 there is time to have dinner without rushing. Ask for the menu when booking the table.

The return

The concert ends after midnight. A driver who doesn't drink or a taxi booked in advance are the two realistic solutions. Public transport, at that hour and in that area, needs to be checked carefully.

Final advice on Voyage 35 at CrossRoads

Voyage 35 at CrossRoads is, in our opinion, a concert for those who know the early Porcupine Tree and want to hear them live the way the parent band no longer plays them: psychedelic, spacey, long. The advice is practical: ticket bought in advance, table booked from February 10, arrival at 20:00 with dinner at the venue, return organized before leaving. That way a March Wednesday in a club outside the city becomes what it promises: a journey into the repertoire of one of the most influential progressive bands, with the bass that has played it since 1993.
