The multi-instrumentalist, Grammy nominee, and producer, Steven Wilson has created an incredible body of work, from his four solo albums through to his origins as Porcupine Tree, and multiple side projects. Still riding the waves of success from his album ‘Hand. Cannot. Erase‘ charting at an impressive #13; He has successfully cultivated an incredibly dedicated fanbase far beyond ‘cult’ status - with demand for tickets surpassing expectation time after time.
Steven Wilson has garnered respect from his influencers and pioneers of the genre, with the likes of Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour and Roxy Music’s Phil Manzanera attending his previous London shows and praising Wilson as an artist.
Phil Manzanera said: "I've known Steven Wilson for several years, but in his role as the 5.1 genius mixer, so it was a revelation to watch him in concert. He is a hugely talented musician and I'm delighted that he is getting the recognition that he surely deserves."
Already his best selling album to date, debuting at #36 on the US Billboard Chart and #3 in Germany, ‘Hand. Cannot. Erase’ mirrors the chillingly true story of a 38 year-old girl called Joyce Karol Vincent who died alone in a bedsit in Wood Green in 2003 and, through a perfect storm of tragic circumstances, remained undiscovered for over two years. ‘Hand. Cannot. Erase.’ perfects a lyrical and melodic journey of living in the city in today’s day and age.
More show details and very special guests to be announced shortly.
