‘The Overview’ tour will visit the UK and eleven European countries following the release of Steven Wilson’s eighth solo album – ‘The Overview’ – which arrived earlier this year.
These will be Steven Wilson’s first full band solo shows since 2018, when he followed the release of his 2017 album ‘To The Bone’ with a 145 date tour that took in 30 countries.
“I’m thrilled to be able to announce a Steven Wilson tour for 2025,” Wilson shared when the tour was first announced, “my first for 7 years.” The tour will be an “audio-visual experience” based around the space-themed album, but Wilson will also be playing music from his 2023 offering ‘The Harmony Codex’ for the first time, as well as work from further back in his discography.
“I’m incredibly happy to be performing again with my inspirational solo band,” Wilson stated, “and we have a lot of lost time to make up. I look forward to seeing you at what will be an epic evening!”
‘The Overview’ – Released earlier this year, ‘The Overview’ is Steven’s most audacious album to date. The forty-two-minute record consists of just two tracks: “Objects Outlive Us” and “The Overview”, each inspired by the “overview effect” experienced by astronauts looking back at the Earth from space.
‘The Overview’ sees Steven Wilson return to expansive, progressive music, a genre he helped redefine and repopularise with both his solo and Porcupine Tree releases. The two wildly ambitious tracks are each made up of distinctive musical sections that flow from one to the other, playing out as unique and continuous pieces. Wilson’s 21st-century progressive music updates the classic ‘prog’ musical palette to incorporate everything from glistening electronics to post-rock and beyond, which brings the genre right into the beating heart of the current musical landscape.
‘The Overview’ is instantly recognisable as Steven Wilson and will stand alone as an utterly unique release for 2025. Headphones and a wide open mind are recommended.
Steven Wilson – Hugely successful yet always uncompromising, Steven Wilson has been one of the UK’s most consistently creative artists for the last thirty years. Musician, producer, spatial audio innovator and occasional band frontman, Wilson has pushed the boundaries between expansive rock music and visionary electronic sound.
His seventh solo album – ‘The Harmony Codex’ – was released to universal acclaim in 2023 following the hugely successful, unexpected reunion tour of arenas all over the world by Porcupine Tree, the band Wilson fronted from the mid-‘90s until their hiatus in 2010. Wilson’s last three albums (‘To The Bone’, ‘The Future Bites’, and ‘The Harmony Codex’) all reached the top 5 of the UK album charts.
