Ayreon mastermind Arjen Lucassen has issued the following update for the fans:

"Many people asked me lately if the Ayreon Universe show is available digitally, because they don’t own a DVD or Blu-ray player. The record company Mascot Label Group kindly looked into it, and they found a way via Vimeo! So this one’s for you, thanks for buying and hope you enjoy!"

Only six months after the Ayreon Universe took to the stage, Mascot Label Group / Music Theories Recordings will release the entire show on a variety of formats today (March 30th). A video for “And The Druids Turned To Stone” from the upcoming release can be seen below.

Says Arjen Lucassen: "Here is the last full song preview we’ll give you from the upcoming Ayreon Universe DVD/BD. This is my own personal favorite: 'And The Druids Turned To Stone'. Mainly because of Damian’s amazing performance, he totally owns the stage here. Despite this being a relatively quiet atmospheric track, for me this was one of the highlights of the show. Hope you agree, enjoy!"

Ayreon Universe is the best of Ayreon Live - a unique performance featuring 16 singers, 28 songs, 2+ hour performance, 9000+ fans and a special appearance by Arjen Lucassen. All of this captured by 30 cameras!

This unique performance features 16 singers, 28 songs, an 8 piece band and a special appearance by Arjen. The duration of the show was more than 2 hours.
