Steven Wilson has announced details of The Future Bites tour – a series of European shows due to take place in September 2020.
Following the massively successful tour for 2017’s To The Bone album, Steven Wilson and band will play eight shows at the biggest venues he’s headlined, including one at London’s The O2. Talking about the tour, Steven Wilson said:
“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. 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!”
