THAT JOE PAYNE: PINK TRIANGLE TOUR This is a live-band performance, with support from Heather Findlay.
Queer artist and award-winning progressive-music vocalist, That Joe Payne, is recognised for his involvement with a variety of projects, from solo releases to collaborations with Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater), The Enid, John Holden, and Zio.
Based in Northampton, England, and remembered by audiences for boasting an impressive five-octave range and flamboyant showmanship, his voice has featured on no less than seventeen album releases since his debut in 2012.
Today, the singer uses his platform to advocate for better Mental Health Awareness and LGBTQ+ rights, with Payne's 2025 shows and releases carrying a message of solidarity with all marginalised groups affected by anti-DEI rhetoric.
Personal achievements include being voted Best Male Vocalist two years running by the readers of Prog Magazine, winning Best Progressive Rock Album with Jordan Rudess for PERMISSION TO FLY in the 2024 Progspace Awards, and three Progressive Music Award nominations for his work with The Enid.
“Vocally a cross between Freddie Mercury and George Michael!”
Jerry Ewing, Prog Magazine
“An exceptional talent – the show is phenomenal.” Kerrie Cosh, BBC Introducing
“That Joe Payne sets up one magical evening.” Paul Davies, Record
