The Story
Asia is back and roaring in their new, exhilarating line-up! Recorded live on the first of three unforgettable nights at Trading Boundaries in Sussex, in April 2025, this release captures the band performing their iconic 1982 debut album ASIA in full, along with a selection of their greatest hits. Featuring Geoff Downes (keys), Virgil Donati (drums - ex-Planet X), John Mitchell (guitars - Arena, It Bites etc.) and the astonishing Harry Whitley (on bass and vocals), this fresh incarnation of Asia brings both reverence for the classics and a thrilling new energy to the stage. The setlist includes fan favorites like Heat of the Moment, Only Time Will Tell, Sole Survivor, One Step Closer and Time Again, alongside video-era and bonus tracks such as Ride Easy, Video Killed the Radio Star, The Heat Goes On and Daylight. With Asia's legacy spanning over 40 years - from multi-million selling albums like ASIA, Alpha, and Astra to defining the sound of the MTV era - this new line-up proves that the Year of the Dragon is bringing the legendary songs to life for a whole new generation of fans.
