Steven Wilson Announces US/Canada 2018 Tour Dates

Fans of Steven Wilson will be excited about his recently announced tour. With the shows going on sale in a couple of days, I wanted to make sure that you saw this.

The Press Release:
Steven Wilson released his critically acclaimed new album To the Bone this past August, with international music critics lauding the artist for continuing to expand his musical boundaries. Wilson will return to North America for a Spring 2018 tour in support of the album.

Wilson, described by Planet Rock as “one of the most prolific and unrivalled artists of our time,” will launch the trek on April 20 in Quebec. The tour runs through May 14 in Phoenix, Arizona and will stop in major cities along the way.

Wilson’s live performances are often unforgettable, like the time he performed at New York City’s The Beacon Theater without being able to use his voice. It was a show that Rolling Stone hailed as “stirring” and highlighted the “pop determination that runs through Wilson’s dense layers of shadow and rhythmic restlessness.”

All Steven Wilson North American tour dates are below.

The video for “Nowhere Now” has arrived, as well. Watch it here.

“Nowhere Now” is a gloriously soaring paean to the joys of everyday escapism. The video for the track was shot on location at and around Atacama Large Millimeter Array (Alma) in Chile – the world famous, high altitude radio telescope array. The video was directed and edited by Wilson’s long time visual collaborator Lasse Hoile.

Upon release, To the Bone debuted at a career-high Top 3 on the Independent Albums chart, and Top 10 on the Billboard Top Rock and Alternative Albums Charts. It also landed at #3 on the UK charts, which was another career high, and at #1 on the Finnish Albums Chart.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: I must admit that I was a latecomer to the music of Porcupine Tree but I think I’ve been pretty on point with Wilson’s solo career and I greatly enjoy it. I’ve tried to catch him at least once on each of his tour go rounds and as a matter of fact we were at the show in NYC where he didn’t have a voice and instead let Ninet Tayeb sing most of the show. It was an amazing experience for sure and very different. Though these dates are very far away from where we are in time, I’d like to try and catch one if not both of the shows in my city just in case he decides to mix it up in terms of the set. What do you readers think about the new music and the idea of this tour? Will you be in attendance? Chime in down below in the comments section.

Steven Wilson Returns For More US Dates

Speaking frankly, this is a great way to head towards the end of the year. Yes, the great Steven Wilson will be returning to our shores for some additional dates for his “Hand Cannot Erase” Tour. The run hit our region earlier in the year and the performance was not to be forgotten. Check out the poster for the coming shows and the brief notation from his official Facebook Page.

From Official Facebook:
Steven Wilson returns to the United States next month for a thirteen date tour. Steven Wilson’s Hand. Cannot. Erase. show combines quadrophonic sound, virtuoso musicianship, and visual elements to create a powerful and immersive concert experience.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: I’ll keep this short in the interest of time and since there aren’t any dates for my immediate vicinity to enjoy this time around. I’m not complaining of course but I don’t mind when he adds a show in these parts. The most recent album is fantastic and a recommendation for your holiday list if you should still not have a copy in your music library. Let me know what you think of this return if you are a fan down in those comments spaces below. See you next time.
