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

After I asked about it last year, glad to see he's returning to the Capitol Theater

I hope you end up touring in the US next year! Way back in 2018, you played a show at the Capitol Theater in Port Chester, New York–which is like 30 minutes from where I grew up. I was attending college upstate at the time, but I always kick myself for missing that show.

Oh yeah, I remember that venue. The whole backstage area was like a shrine to the Grateful Dead. [laughs]

That was a great tour, but at the end I was definitely ready for a break. So I didn’t really mind sitting the last album or two out touring-wise, but by early 2025 I think I’ll be raring to go again–and I'm sure we'll come back to the US.

I was at that one! And hope to be again this year....

I’ll be attending the Toronto show at Danforth Music Hall in September! I’ll also be seeing Dweezil Zappa play material from Apostrophe and Roxy in April at the same venue. Two great shows to look forward to!

Lately seems like most groups I enjoy have completely burned the Pacific Northwest... Seems wild to me to completely ignore everything west of Colorado and north of California. But, by all means, I suppose Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver are less lucrative than *checks list* Northfield, Minnesota, a town of 20,000.

I was mistaken; it is in fact Northfield, Ohio, a town of 3,500.

drawing from Cleveland and Akron without any issue, Columbus just a hop .. about 5M people.

Population there is still much less than what you'd draw around the Seattle area (easily over 10 M from Seattle/Portland/Vancouver) for example. But I know that population is really only part of the equation; it's mainly what kinds of deals organizers make with venues. Still completely crazy to skip out on such a large region of North America during your so-called "North American" tour.

maybe Lenny can gingerly direct and herd you back to the Atmos mixing studio, after all that mind blowing interstellar contemplation

The NA part tour seems fairly short, they may have a second leg in the wings so who knows -- you might end up getting your wish.

When his tour manager was based out of Albany NY that was often one of the first shows (I believe Rush also used the Albany area as a starting point for a few tours). My only SW show was at The Egg (empire state plaza), great venue and that's when I learned of this. There is, indeed, a lot that goes into location selection on a tour, that us plebs know nothing of.

I got a ticket for the Northfield, Ohio show! The last time I saw Wilson was in Western PA for the Hand Cannot Erase tour in 2015

Maybe it's a good thing he's not coming to my area.... prices this time around are looking astronomical. Perhaps it's just to fit the theme of the album?

I was able to score a 4th row ticket in Detroit for 150$ after taxes and fees. I was a bit surprised it wasn't more. Doesn't seem TOO astronomical based on other ticket prices Ive seen lately.

Is it just me or has the Western US become something of a concert wasteland? Maybe it's just me. Seems like a lot of acts don't make it past the Mississippi or the Rockies...demographics? geographics etc. etc.

Same here, I didn't think it was so crazy. When he last came around with PT in 2022, tickets were like $30 more in my area.
