Legendary Prog band Nektar returns to Indianapolis to perform classics from their 57 year history, plus a special set of King Crimson music.
Since 1969, Nektar has taken legions of fans on audio-visual journeys to far reaches of the universe and the depths of the ocean with their immersive blend of sight and sound.
Nektar blends a jam-band vibe with superb musicality, along with a multi-media light and video show that perfectly complements the music.
A Nektar show is an unparalleled feast for the senses.
Nektar features original member Derek "Mo" Moore (bass guitar, vocals). Mo will be retiring from active touring with the band following this tour. You will want to be at our show in Indy to say "thank you" and "godspeed you Prog legend" to MO. Also starring in Nektar is Ryche Chlanda (guitar, vocals) is an alum of previous Nektar incarnations. World-class multi-instrumentalist Kendall Scott is a wizard on keyboards, bringing that classic '70s Prog keyboard sound to the band. Vocalist Maryann Castello adds her lovely voice to the mix, creating an ethereal vocal mood that enhances each song. With the death of founding member drummer Ron Howden 2023, the band was happy to welcome Jay Dittamo to the family.
Nektar are known, loved, respected and revered worldwide. On January 21st, 2025, American Songwriter magazine announced their choice for the "4 Iconic Prog-Rock Albums That Still Sound Futuristic in the 2020s". NONE of the albums were by American bands or writers. ALL of them were from Brits, and all from either the 1970s or mid-1980s.
The album coming in at #2 -- ahead of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" -- was Remember the Future by Nektar. In this article, the magazine stated "Part of what makes prog-rock albums such a delight is how forward-thinking many of them are. At least, that’s definitely the case for progressive rock albums that came out decades ago during the genre’s heyday. We’re big fans of the following four records and think they’re still quite ahead of their time, even in the 2020s."
Clearly, Nektar is a band that has been ahead of itself over the past 50+ years, and is still as relevant and rockin' and psychedelic as ever.
The band has been taking care of fans (old and new) by releasing classic material from their recent tours plus from their archives. In 2024, the band released a concert CD/DVD release from their 2023 tour, as well as CD/DVD 50th anniversary box sets of their iconic albums REMEMBER THE FUTURE and RECYCLED.
The band will also perform a set of King Crimson music from their 1969 debut album -- a rare and unique addition to the Nektar live experience.

This show is Tommy solo, Tommy backed by singer songwriter Karla Rose, and Tommy backed by full band Little Venom from Seattle.
In plain words, Tommy Stinson is a great American musician. You can needle-drop at any juncture of the Minneapolis native's four-decade-plus career and find a moment of great significance. Stinson was a founding and lifetime member of The Replacements. He was a key second-generation ingredient in Guns N' Roses and served a seven-year tenure with Soul Asylum. He also led two essential bands of his own -- the aptly named Bash & Pop and Perfect -- appeared on recordings by the Old 97's, MOTH and BT.
