Why see Steven Wilson?
Porcupine Tree's Founder
As well as co-founding the band Porcupine Tree, acting as its lead guitarist, singer and songwriter, prog rock great Wilson has also been a member of several other bands in addition to his successful solo act. Notably he has also collaborated with other rock artists including Opeth, King Crimson, Pendulum, Anathema and Jethro Tull. One of the genre's leading lights, Wilson is an electrifying melder of Floyd, metal, krautrock and even a bit of disco.
Oddly enough, Wilson has one stipulation when performing live; he always performs barefoot, even if it means picking up some painful injuries; he claims that it helps him control the guitar pedals better. Who are we to judge?!

INCREDIBLE
Flew in from Vancouver for the sole purpose of
experiencing Steven Wilson backed by some of
the finest musicians in the industry absolutely
blow us away. Well worth the cost to come to
Toronto and would do it again in a heart beat. ... Read more

Excellent quadraphonic sound, fantastic show
Saw Steven Wilson on Saturday November 24th in Hamilton at "The Studio", Ontario, Canada - concerned about some reviews I've read about the sound being too loud I have to wonder what shows these people have been to? Maybe solo harp concertos or something? I always check with my phone what the dBs were and in Hamilton the sound was averaging 110dB, I brought my -25dB filters for my custom earplugs (who goes to shows without earplugs anyway?) based on previous reviews and was mad I didn't bring my -15 filters as they would have sufficed.
Previous shows including u2 at Skydome and Ministry at The Opera House all hit an average of 120-125dB which is MUCh louder than 110dB.
Anyway, Steven's show started very punctually (thank you) and the sound mix was heavenly, perfect mixing in a venue designed for audiophile reproductions (you can see lots of acoustic paneling in teh venue), quad sound was amazing and clear, super talented players, A+ setlist, only missing Hand.Cannot.Erase. Thx! ... Read more

Steven Wilson at the Wiltern in LA
I flew in from Montreal. Steven Wilson was fabulous
as usual. But there was an extremely inconsiderate
woman who insisted on screaming in our ears during
the whole first set ( could this be the start of
Wilsonmania?) Thankfully security removed her early
after the intermission. The remainder was like dying
and going straight to heaven. Thanks Wiltern for
coming to our rescue, and thanks to Steven and band
for another magnificent show! Staff were amazing. ... Read more
