Visionary musician, Steven Wilson, who has
changed the direction of rock music is set to tour New Zealand and Australia in
October 2016.
In 2013 Steven Wilson toured Australia with one of the most elaborate productions witnessed in rock
venues. Those lucky music fans who attended the shows were immersed in an
audio-visual sensory experience simultaneously overwhelming and uplifting.
‘I collected my jaw from the
ground and walked out slightly dazed. Steven Wilson does it again.’ – Pure Grain Audio.com
This October, Wilson brings “Hand.
Cannot. Erase.” to Kiwi audiences with a show, to both
exhilarate and take your breath away.
“Hand. Cannot. Erase. is
easily the strongest of Wilson’s solo output in terms of cohesive narrative and
dynamic song structure.” - PopMatters
The former Porcupine
Tree leader has built a reputation as a musician’s musician
with a track record venerated by fans and peers alike. As well as four solo
studio albums and in excess of 20 Porcupine
Tree albums, Wilson has collaborated with a who’s who of forward thinking musicians, including
Opeth, Robert Fripp, Yoko Ono, Anathema, Ian Anderson, Steve Hackett,
Marillion, OSI and Dream Theater.
Wilson is also responsible for acclaimed new mixes for artists as diverse as Emerson
Lake & Palmer, XTC, King Crimson, Hawkwind, Caravan, Jethro Tull, Yes, and
Tears For Fears.
"Wilson is a star in a
fiercely partisan, niche genre” - Rolling Stone Magazine
But for all these achievements, it is in the live arena that Wilson’s music truly
comes to life. With a band of gifted and inspiring musicians behind him, an
immersive visual experience filling the stage and full quadraphonic surround
sound saturating the room with sound and effects, this is truly a show not to
be missed.
Steven Wilson will leave you spellbound with a performance you will remember forever.
‘What transpired over the
next two and a half hours was a stunning musical exhibition that displayed all
of Wilson’s talents, and then some.’ - Guitar World
