Overview
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.
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.
Nektar features original member Derek "Mo" Moore on bass guitar and backing vocals. Mo will be retiring from active touring with the band following this tour. Fans will want to be at our show in Indy to say "thank you" to Mo.
Also starring in Nektar is Ryche Chlanda (guitar, vocals), 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 and drummer Ron Howden in 2023, the band was happy to welcome Jay Dittamo to the family.
Welcome Nektar back to Indianapolis for the SIXTH time since 2020! Nektar loves Indy, and Indy loves Nektar.
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.
