Event Information

Asia 2024 is Geoffrey Downes, Virgil Donati, John Mitchell and Harry Whitley. In the summer of 2023, Geoff Downes spear-headed a memorial concert to remember and celebrate the life of his late, much-loved friend and Asia co-founder member, the great John Wetton. At the concert, he invited rock n roll veteran John Mitchell - who had played with both Wetton and Downes in Icon and in Wetton's own band. The duo were joined by new-comer Harry Whitley, who Downes had discovered and whose vocal talents so closely resembled that of Wetton's it was nothing short of spine-tingling. In 1982 John Wetton, Geoff Downes, Carl Palmer and Steve Howe became the founding fathers of super group Asia, responsible for a string of multi-million selling albums and chart topping hits across the globe. Asia's self-titled1982 debut album was the biggest selling album in the world. The band dominated the airwaves with "Heat Of The Moment", "Only Time Will Tell" and "Sole Survivor".
