Songwriter, producer, and six-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated spatial audio mixer Steven Wilson announces the eagerly awaited North American leg of The Overview Tour – his first full-band solo headline run in the U.S. and Canada in over seven years. The tour includes a stop at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester on September 30 and Brooklyn Paramount in Brooklyn on October 2, 2025.
The Overview Tour celebrates the upcoming release of what may well be the most audacious work of Wilson’s already visionary career. The Overview arrives via Fiction Records in a wide range of forms on Friday, March 14. Pre-orders are available now.
Written, produced, and mixed by Wilson at his home studio, The Overview sees the world-renowned artist once again expanding the parameters of progressive music, a genre he has long helped redefine through both his groundbreaking solo career and landmark work with Porcupine Tree. The 42-minute collection is comprised of just two epic tracks, “Objects Outlive Us” and “The Overview,” each made up of distinctive musical sections that flow from one to the next, playing out as unique and continuous pieces. Once again, Wilson’s resolutely expansive music incorporates everything from glistening electronics to post-rock and beyond, pushing forward the singular sound and vision that has long defined his wildly ambitious body of work for more than three decades.
“The Overview is a 42-minute-long journey based on the reported ‘overview effect,’ whereby astronauts seeing the Earth from space undergo a transformative cognitive shift, most often experiencing an overwhelming appreciation and perception of beauty and an increased sense of connection to other people and the Earth as a whole. However, not all experiences are positive; some see the Earth truly for what it is, insignificant and lost in the vastness of space, and the human race as a trouble species. As a reflection of that, the album presents images and stories of life on Earth, both good and bad.”
– Steven Wilson
Although initially conceived as a solo recording, The Overview sees Steven Wilson backed by frequent collaborators Craig Blundell (drums), Adam Holzman (keyboards), and Randy McStine (guitars), alongside lyrics from XTC’s Andy Partridge that help form the story that drives “Objects Outlive Us.” Consistent with Wilson’s illustrious reputation, The Overview will be presented as a true audiophile experience, with spatial/Atmos audio versions available both physically and digitally; vinyl editions of The Overview have been specifically mastered at half-speed at London’s Abbey Road by 3x Grammy Award-nominated engineer Miles Showell (The Beatles, ABBA, The Police).
Wilson will mark the arrival of The Overview with the wide-ranging EU/UK legs of The Overview Tour. In addition, The Overview will be accompanied by a full-length film directed by Wilson’s longtime visual collaborator, Miles Skarin. Both the film and the album will be officially unveiled with a world premiere event taking place on Tuesday, February 25, on Britain’s largest cinema screen, London’s BFI IMAX.
