Steven Wilson Steven Wilson: New album 'The Overview' for early 2025

[madship]

So one wonders if there will only be a CD for "The Overview".

I doubt it. I think the CD is the ticket to the tour ticket presale.

Yep, plus a signature. I have no doubt there will be a multi-disc physical deluxe edition as there has been with every previous Steven Wilson solo album proper, and likely a stand-alone Blu-ray or simpler CD/Blu-ray package, too.

I got tickets for London just now, no preorder necessary. Like most I want to see what formats/packages are announced. Two tickets for good seating were £155.

Me too. I tried immediately at 9 and the tickets seemed to be going fast. It took me about 6 tries of adding a ticket into my basket before it would let me buy, as presumably another eager fan was ripping the ticket out of my hand at the virtual checkout

They don't make it easy

Tickets for Madrid gig can be purchased already, despite the initial info saying they will only be available on Friday. 66€ is a reasonable price, although the site he chose (La Riviera) has got shitty acoustics.
I'm still surprised about the small venues he's chosen this time, it's like he's went back to old PT times (he played here already)

Isn't it a mixture of: smaller venues so that he can use his surround sound show, and he perhaps got his fingers burned when his (cancelled) Covid times Future Bites shows, in large venues, didn't sell as well as hoped.

I'm pleased he's playing the Palladium in London, nice size place with a bit of history, but not too big.

Yes, I remember attending a PT gig in La Riviera many years ago

I was there seeing Yes in May this year, too. I think the venue sounds pretty decent nowadays.

Two long spaced-out tracks. Maybe he's getting back to his Floyd-ish roots?

I just bought my ticket. My only concert on La Riviera was OMD a few years ago. It didn't sound bad. Steven Wilson will make the room sound spectacular. He is a sound maniac

On the previous tour he chose in Madrid (Wizink Center) a place that was too big and it was very empty and soulless, although it sounded spectacular

I've attended quite a few acts in there (PT twice, SW, Marillion and a long etc) and unfortunately they all sounded like crap. Let's hope this time it'll be better.
I'll meet you there and we can criticise in person

My brother managed to get us tickets for the May 2025 gig in Bristol

 

[marpow]

I won't buy is 1 of 1 box set, but I will the next one down.

Of course

And there was me, waiting for Friday

Edit: I got a pre-order code for tickets, but the ticket site says there are none.

He's added a third night at the London Palladium (the following Monday). The pre sale was an allocation of tickets that sold out. The venues themselves still had plenty of good tickets left. I was panicking on Wednesday and bought a ticket for one of the Palladium nights from those available on the pre sale. I have since bought a ticket for the second Palladium night from the venue, and they had much better availability of the good tickets than the pre sale did!

Just curious: is the Palladium a seated site? Spanish one is all standing.

Its an old fashioned all seater venue, opened in 1910!

Our eldest son got us tickets for the Manchester Sunday night show today. Front row of the circle. When I looked around midday, there were less than 500 tickets left.

All his solo albums to date have had standalone surround releases, so it would be very surprising if it wasn't the case here.

As we see by Yes and now also XTC and others in repress with Dolby Atmos, maybe time he starts also with Insurgentes and the rest of his solo work in Dolby Atmos
