Steven Wilson has announced a run of live shows for North America for September and October in support of his upcoming album The Overview.
The dates, which kick off in San Francisco on September 9 and run through to Dallas on October 11, including three nights in Canada, will be Wilson’s first full-band solo dates in the continent for seven years.
As Prog announced last December, Wilson will release his eighth solo album The Overview through Fiction Records on March 14. You can watch a trailer for the film accompanying the new album below.
“The idea I had immediately suggested something more long-form and conceptual and, dare I say, more progressive,” he says of the new album which features just two suites of music and sees Wilson returning to a more progressive sound akin to his earlier releases.
“However, not all experiences are positive; some see the Earth truly for what it is, insignificant and lost in the vastness of space, and the human race as a troubled species. As a reflection of that, the album presents images and stories of life on Earth, both good and bad.”
With Wilson handling the bulk of the music himself, The Overview also features studio help from regular collaborators Craig Blundell (drums), Adam Holzman (keyboards) and Randy McStine (guitars) alongside a set of lyrics from XTC frontman Andy Partridge. Blundell, Holzman and McStine, along with bassist Nick Beggs, will form Wilson’s backing band for the dates.
The Overview will be available in a wide range of formats including digital, CD, LP, Blu-ray, D2C exclusive boxset, D2C exclusive red vinyl LP (with poster), and retail exclusive mint colour LP.
Tickets for the North American dates go on general sale on January 31 at 10am local time. A pre-sale begins on Tuesday January 28 at 10am local time. You can see all the dates and ticket links below.,
