Legendary Music pioneers Tangerine Dream are headlining at London's Royal Albert Hall on Thursday 1st April to mark 40 years to the day from their debut album release, and 35 years to the day from their debut Albert Hall gig.

This one-off UK concert marks 2 anniversary milestones for the Krautrock pioneers; they first performed at the Royal Albert Hall exactly 35 years ago to the day, and it is exactly 40 years since the release of their debut album, the genre defining 'Electronic Meditation'. The three hour show will feature material from four decades of classic Tangerine Dream, including some timeless highlights which have never been performed live before.

As always Tangerine Dream's live experience will include cutting edge lighting and special effects. The show will be filmed for a live DVD release later in the year.

Froese says, "Performing at the Royal Albert Hall is like being in the living room of Britain's entertainment history - not a heartbeat away from it - it is the heartbeat!"

Founder member Edgar Froese will perform with the following long-time collaborators from Vienna and Berlin; Linda Spa (sax, flute, keyboards), Iris Camaa (percussion, V-drums), Bernhard Beibl (guitar) and Thorsten Quaeschning (keyboards).

Tangerine Dream have released over 140 studio and live recordings to date, including the genre-defining 1973 album 'Atem'. Their repertoire also includes over 20 film soundtracks including Legend, Risky Business, and the cult classic adaptation of Stephen King's Firestarter.
