Steven Wilson announces 2020 tour dates

From Loudersound.

Steven Wilson has announced arena tour dates for 2020, including two UK dates at London’s O2 and the Nottingham Arena for September. These will be the biggest venues Wilson has played following his tour for 2017’s To The Bone album.

“Every time I make a new album, it’s hugely important for me that it holds a unique place in my catalogue and won’t simply be more of the same,” says Wilson of his forthcoming sixth solo album, details of which are still to be confirmed. “Moving into the third decade of the 21st century and my second decade as a touring solo artist, it felt like time to apply the same philosophy to the live experience.

“I want to challenge myself to create something that confronts my own notions (and hopefully the audience’s too) of how to present my music in a concert situation. This has become The Future Bites – a series of special events at larger venues, something on a grander and more immersive scale. I’m already hugely excited about them!”

To celebrate the new dates, there will be a special limited edition vinyl version of Wilson’s next album can be pre-ordered now. These are available to pre-order now.
