This unique combination of music and comedy promises an unforgettable experience.

Wilson expresses his love for comedy as the inspiration behind this unusual choice for his support acts. He aims to create a “unique aspect to each night” of his ‘The Overview’ tour, which promotes his latest album.

A New Album and Tour Announcement

His new space-themed record was released earlier this month and marks a significant moment in Wilson's career as he prepares for an extensive tour across Europe, the UK, and North America. Fans can find ticket information here.

“I’ve decided to try something I’ve been thinking about for several years and have stand-up comedians opening proceedings,” Wilson stated. His love for stand-up comedy is well-known, and he often encounters fans at comedy shows who are surprised to discover he has a sense of humor beyond his music.

"I’m a huge fan of stand-up and I’ve frequently been confronted by my listeners at stand-up shows, usually in a state of shock at discovering I’m not as humorless as my music!" - Steven Wilson

A Journey Through The Overview Effect

Steven Wilson has also recently spoken about his new album, which he describes as a journey through “The Overview Effect.” This phenomenon occurs when astronauts view Earth from space and experience a profound realization about life and existence.

“Astronauts experience a profound epiphany,” Wilson elaborated. He believes it’s essential to recognize that life is a “random, freak gift” and encourages listeners to “enjoy the ride.”
