Steven Wilson, the iconic British musician and founder of the progressive rock band Porcupine Tree, revealed plans for a four-city India tour this November. The announcement marked his first return to the country since 2016, generating excitement among fans across the nation. As part of the LiveBox gig series by ticketing platform SkillBox, Wilson scheduled performances in Mumbai on November 2, Delhi NCR on November 5, Kolkata on November 7, and Bengaluru on November 9, 2025.
The tour coincides with the release of The Overview, Wilson’s latest solo album. Promoters confirmed that ticket sales would begin on April 12 at 12 PM, with early bird tickets available exclusively on the SkillBox app and site. Venue specifics for each city are expected to be revealed closer to the concert dates. Wilson’s history with Indian audiences goes back to 2009, when Porcupine Tree headlined Livewire at IIT Bombay’s Mood Indigo festival.
In 2016, he returned with his solo act to perform at NH7 Weekender in Pune and Shillong, as well as the Backdoors festival in Bengaluru. Since then, Indian fans have eagerly anticipated his return. During an earlier interview, Wilson had shared his affection for India, recalling the warmth and enthusiasm of local fans during his previous visits. Although he noted that he had only visited twice, the memories left a lasting impression.
The Overview Tour forms part of Wilson’s broader concert series spanning Europe and the U.K. The new album features two long, space-themed compositions, reinforcing his penchant for conceptual, immersive music. The artist planned to blend these new tracks with selections from The Harmony Codex (2023), The Future Bites (2021), and his earlier solo work. He described the upcoming shows as an audio-visual journey, supported by his long-standing solo band, and conveyed his excitement.
