The fifth and final instalment of Bernie Marsden’s “Inspirations” series, titled “Stage”, will be released on 21 August 2026 through Conquest Music. The live album matters as a retrospective of Marsden’s stage work, drawing on archive recordings to showcase the British rock and blues guitarist’s performances across different settings and line-ups.

“Stage” will be issued as a limited two-LP gatefold set and a two-CD deluxe digipack with a 16-page booklet, featuring four concerts recorded between 1996 and 2020. These include acoustic material in Buckingham, an electric set aboard Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea, a Norwegian festival appearance, and a London show featuring Joe Bonamassa; a five-track digital EP is already available, although four of its tracks will not appear on the album.
