ProgBeat: New Porcupine Tree
Now fully signed on with Roadrunner Records, PORCUPINE TREE has announced an expected September 22 release for their next studio album.
Although a concert DVD from their Fear of a Blank Planet tour was initially planned to release before their record, it will now be pushed back to avoid a conflicting release.
PT’s highly anticipated upcoming album, whose title still remains unknown, will contain a “50-minute long continuous song cycle, along with three additional ’shorter’ songs,” says Roadrunner. And the band will begin touring in September, too, starting in the US, then spending around two months in Europe. There’s no news yet whether they’ll return to the states to close out the tour.
US tour dates announced so far:
Sep. 15 – Moore Theater – Seattle
Sep. 16 – Roseland – Portland
Sep. 18 – Warfield – San Francisco
Sep. 19 – Club Nokia – Los Angeles
Sep. 21 – House of Blues – Cleveland
Sep. 22 – Vic Theater – Chicago
Sep. 24 – Terminal 5 – New York
Sep. 26 – Electric Factory – Philadelphia
Sep. 27 – House of Blues – Boston
Sep. 29 – Metropolis – Montreal
Sep. 30 – Queen Elizabeth Theatre – Toronto
A clip from the upcoming Fear of a Blank Planet concert DVD. It’s actually an ad for AluminiSonic guitars (which Wilson is playing), and I’m not sure why the video is on this before a DVD promo, but that’s definitely where it’s from. And it looks great.
