This event is strictly 18+
Acclaimed musical innovator and six-time Grammy nominee, Steven Wilson, will bring his highly anticipated The Overview Tour to Australia and will be dropping by Forum Melbourne on Saturday 15 November.
His arrival in Australia will follow a massive run of UK, European and American dates and celebrates the release of his eighth solo album, The Overview.
Australian fans can expect a captivating live experience from one of contemporary music’s most boundary pushing, genre bending artists. Accompanied by accomplished and seasoned veterans including Nick Beggs on bass (Mute Gods, Steve Hackett), legendary jazz keyboardist, Adam Holzman (Miles Davis, Ray Manzarek,), Craig Blundell on drums (Steve Hackett, Frost) and Randy McStine on guitars (Marco Minnemann, The Fringe) this world class line up will bring the expansive, progressive soundscapes to life in a way that can only be experienced in a live setting.
The Overview is a 42 minute conceptual journey inspired by the “overview effect” of astronauts viewing Earth from space and marks a return to the long form progressive style Steven Wilson redefined with the iconic Porcupine Tree and his earlier solo work. Featuring two ambitious tracks and immersive spatial audio production, The Overview blends progressive sprawl with cinematic electronics and lush, immersive vibes all wrapped in spatial audio wizardry.
It’s a bold addition to his repertoire which also includes six Grammy nominations, three consecutive UK Top 5 albums and a string of iconic remixes for artists including,
Pink Floyd, The Who, King Crimson and Tears For Fears.
The Australian tour promises to be a thrilling and dynamic experience. Expect a set packed with The Overview’s mind bending sprawl alongside cuts from his acclaimed and peerless career.
It’s vast, it’s other worldly and it’s been too long since Wilson last hit Aussie soil.
Fans have been yearning for his return and it’s set to be unforgettable and simply unmissable.
Don’t miss this rare chance to see Steven Wilson live this November, performing music that challenges and inspires in equal measure.
