King Crimsoni endised liikmed Adrian Belew ja Tony Levin ühendavad jõud kitarrivirtuoosi Steve Vai ja Tooli trummari Danny Careyga. Nii sünnib BEAT, mis on võimas loominguline uustõlgendus kolmest ikoonilisest 1980. aastate King Crimsoni albumist: “Discipline”, “Beat” ja “Three Of A Perfect Pair”. Ainulaadset elamust saab kogeda Tallinnas, Alexela Kontserdimajas 19. juulil 2026.
BEAT naaseb King Crimsoni murrangulise teise ajastu juurde, mil bändi progressiivne muusika koondus teravate rütmide, omavahel põimunud kitarrihelide ja julgete eksperimentidega. Aastatel 1981-1984 mänginud koosseis tõi publikuni täiesti uue helikeele: nurgelise minimalismi, mis põrkus minimalistlikult plahvatusliku täpsusega. Nad ei kartnud kontseptuaalset ambitsiooni segaga kartmatu muusikaga. Nüüd jõuab see ajastu meieni uuesti läbi samade arhitektide, kes seda toona defineerisid.
Adrian Belew’ eksimatud kitarririfid ja paindlik vokaal olid originaalsalvestiste keskmes, samas kui Tony Levini uuenduslik bassimäng ja Chapman Sticki meisterlikkus aitasid luua triloogia DNA rütmi. Nendega liitub Steve Vai, kes on ise koostööd teinud Frank Zappaga, ja on üks tehniliselt tunnustatumaid kitarriste moodsas rokis, astudes rolli, mida kunagi hoidis Robert Fripp. Trummidel toob Tooli Danny Carey oma plahvatusliku jõu ja keerukad polürütmid, kanaldades võib-olla isegi Bill Brufordi hinge, lisades samal ajal omaenda eksimatu intensiivsuse.
Originaalsed teise ajastu King Crimsoni albumid olid tuntud omapäraste instrumentaalsete katsete ja julgete struktuuriideede poolest. Belew, keda kujundas Frank Zappa, David Bowie ja Talking Heads, tõi bändile omanäolise helikeele. Levin lisas oma loomingule mõjutusi tööst Peter Gabrieli ja džässilegendidega ning kirge uute instrumentide vastu. Koos aitasid nad luua loomingut, mis on endiselt progressiivse roki ja moodsa eksperimentaalmuusika alustala.
BEATiga teevad sellele pärandile kummarduse muusikud, kes on mitte ainult tehniliselt võimsad, vaid ka sügavalt seotud algse pärandiga. Tulemuseks ei ole nostalgiline taaslavastus, vaid elav ja hingav etendus, mis rõhutab nende kompositsioonide ajatust ja julgust.
Progressiivne innovatsioon, virtuoossus ja legendaarne repertuaar: see on õhtu, kui BEAT astub lavale Alexela Kontserdimajas 19. juulil 2026. Live Nationi kontserdiklubi liikmetele on piletid saadaval alates kolmapäevast, 25. veebruarist kell 11.00. Piletimüük algab reedel, 27. veebruaril kell 11.00 Piletilevi veebipoes ja ametlikes müügipunktides.

Former King Crimson members Adrian Belew and Tony Levin join forces with guitar virtuoso Steve Vai and Tool drummer Danny Carey to create BEAT, a powerful creative reinterpretation of three iconic 1980s King Crimson albums – Discipline, Beat, and Three Of A Perfect Pair. The project arrives at Alexela Kontserdimaja on July 19, 2026 for a rare and unmissable concert experience.
BEAT revisits the groundbreaking second era of King Crimson, when the band reshaped progressive music with sharp rhythms, interlocking guitars, and daring experimentation. The 1981–1984 lineup introduced a new sonic language: angular minimalism colliding with explosive precision, conceptual ambition fused with fearless musicianship. Now, that era is reimagined live by the very architects who defined it.
Adrian Belew’s unmistakable guitar textures and elastic vocals were central to the original recordings, while Tony Levin’s innovative bass work and mastery of the Chapman Stick helped build the rhythmic DNA of the trilogy. Joining them is Steve Vai, himself a former Frank Zappa collaborator and one of the most technically celebrated guitarists in modern rock, stepping into the role once held by Robert Fripp. On drums, Danny Carey of Tool brings his explosive power and intricate polyrhythms, channeling the spirit of Bill Bruford while adding his own unmistakable intensity.
The original second-era King Crimson albums were celebrated for their imaginative instrumentation and bold structural ideas. Belew, shaped by his time with Frank Zappa, David Bowie, and Talking Heads, brought a distinct sonic vocabulary to the band. Levin added influences from his work with Peter Gabriel and jazz greats, alongside a passion for newly invented instruments. Together, they helped craft a body of work that remains foundational to progressive rock and modern experimental music.
With BEAT, that legacy is honored and reinterpreted by a lineup of musicians who are not only technically formidable but deeply connected to the material. The result is not a nostalgic recreation, but a living, breathing performance that highlights the timelessness and daring of these compositions.
Prepare for a night of progressive innovation, precision musicianship, and legendary repertoire when BEAT takes the stage at Alexela Kontserdimaja on July 19, 2026. Tickets for Live Nation Concert Club members will be available from Wednesday, February 25 at 11:00. General ticket sales begin on Friday, February 27 at 11:00 via Piletilevi online and official sales points.
