The Moody Blues' John Lodge to perform "Days of Future Passed" at Newton Theatre

(NEWTON, NJ) -- The Moody Blues' John Lodge will perform Days of Future Passed at The Newton Theatre on Friday, March 3, 2023 at 8:00pm. The legendary bass player, songwriter and vocalist of The Moody Blues, and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, together with his 10,000 Light Years Band, will perform this iconic album in its entirety, including a special recording by Graeme Edge and performances by Jon Davison of YES.

The show will also feature a set of classic hits: “Ride my See-Saw”, “I’m Just a Singer (in a Rock and Roll Band)”, “Isn’t Life Strange”, “Legend of a Mind”, “Nights in White Satin” and more.

The new show, based around the simple tale of ‘a day in the life of an everyday man’, will highlight all that made “Days of Future Passed” the ground-breaking album that it was - arguably the start of Progressive Rock. It retains the core emotion of the original album and recreates its incredible orchestration, but at the same time it also brings in a modern feel thanks to the great strides in modern fidelity, and the maturity that comes with the passing of the years. 

Joining Lodge on stage are his 10,000 Light Years Band, long term collaborator Alan Hewitt (Music Director and keyboards) and Billy Ashbaugh (Drums) from the Moody Blues touring band, together with Duffy King (Guitars) and Jason Charboneau (Cello). Jon Davison of YES will also be joining them for his special renditions of ‘Nights in White Satin’ and ‘Tuesday Afternoon’, plus the magical voice of Graeme Edge.

Tickets go on sale Friday, October 28, 10 a.m. A special online only presale  takes place on Thursday, October 27 from 10:00am – 10:00pm. Reserved seating $49-$64. Additional fees may apply. Tickets are available for purchase online.  The Newton Theatre is located at 234 Spring Street in Newton, New Jersey.
