From their debut album “On the Sunday of Life...” in 1991 to their most recent efforts in the last decade, they have created psychedelic rock with a difference and presented live shows that use various forms of media so that all of the senses are bombarded with spectacular ideas. The results are some of the most distinctive live shows around, turning Porcupine Tree tickets into hot property when they go on sale.
The current line up of Porcupine Tree includes Steven Wilson as the front man (vocals, guitars, pianos etc.), Richard Barbieri on the keyboards, Colin Edwin on the bass guitar and Gavin Harrison on the drums. In addition to these members, the group has also been aided by former members, live members and an array of guests, so that the likes of Chris Maitland, John Wesley and more have contributed to the various sounds of Porcupine Tree over the years. So whilst it is often difficult to establish a genre or category for bands like Porcupine Tree, the various members have created a back catalogue that has won them many admirers – with their Grammy Award nomination in 2007 a testament to this.
Since their debut album in 1991, Porcupine Tree have been regularly releasing records, which have only increased in quality according to some, with recent efforts like “Fear of a Blank Planet” (2007) their best selling to date. Their back catalogue consists of “Up the Downstair” in 1993, “The Sky Moves Sideways” in 1995 and more, with the new decade including the likes of “In Absentia”, an album was their best selling at that date and included award winning talent behind the scenes. More recently, their 2009 album “The Incident” was generally considered to be the best album of the year by many rock critics and would seal the status of Porcupine Tree as a band that continues to show others how it is done.
So getting hold of Porcupine Tree tickets when they go on sale is an absolute must and fans across the country are unlikely to be disappointed by the psychedelic rock sounds mixing with imaginative imagery and impressive musicianship. As a band who formed over twenty years ago, they have had plenty of experience in putting on an unbeatable show.
