[ReaperKK]

Bummer, nothing near me. I hope for more dates sometime.

[The Letter M]

You can listen to a second track from the forthcoming new Porcupine Tree album now. ‘Of The New Day’ is a song of rebirth, emerging from darkness. Listen here: https://porcupinetree.lnk.to/PTCC/youtube

In many ways it's a typically atypical Porcupine Tree ballad, but I love how the time signature is constantly changing, from bars of regular 4/4 time to 3/4, 5/4, 6/4 and 11/4. I think it’s something PT can do well, to create a song which has complexity to it, but in a way that sounds natural and hopefully not simply complicated for the sake of it. I hope you enjoy!

-Marc.

[Buddyhunter1]

New single is good. This album's shaping up nicely.

[El Barto]

Far out. I'll already be in Mexico City for Rammstein. Score.

[Phoenix87x]

New song is pretty good.

[Lonk]

Oh boy, limited dates but ill try to make it to the NY show.

[Sacul]

Yup. Nothing mindblowing but still a return to form after The Incident imo.

This I will not miss! 

[Peter Mc]

Got to say the two new songs have made zero impression on me.  Don’t really have any excitement for the new album as of right now.

[Kram]

I thought the new song was decent.  Nothing extraordinary, but pleasant enough.  Will definitely be picking up the new album.

[KevShmev]

Not listening to this new song.  I only listened to the first one once, and with only seven songs on the album, I don't want to be too familiar with two of the seven songs this far in advance of the album's actual release in 39 months.

So yeah, not a fan of this long rollout.

[The Realm]

Yes this is me too. The Steven Wilson magic has worn off for me these days.

Well, there are also 3 bonus songs on the special edition, for a total of ten new songs by the band, but yeah, I get what you mean. I've listened to "Harridan" a couple times and spun this new one once earlier this morning, but I think that's about all I'll give it until the album comes out in late June, just 15.5 weeks away! I wonder if they'll release one more single before then?

-Marc.

[KevShmev]

It just seems weird. Wilson did the same thing with The Future Bites, releasing too much of the album in pieces before the official release.  Just a little strange considering Wilson is very much a guy who wraps his arms around the idea of the full album listen as opposed to listening to just parts of an album.

Sep. 14 - Boston, MA - MGM Music Hall at Fenway*

This is a brand new venue opening in the fall of 2022.

I was thinking the same thing. Of course, these days that seems to be what every band/artist does to generate a longer cycle of interest around a release, but still...

[Buddyhunter1]

Going to see Porcupine Tree live! It's been a long 12 years...

Tickets are pretty expensive. I wonder how many will be left after the general sale starts - I know it's a reunion / potential farewell tour but these venues are pretty big and Porcupine Tree isn't exactly a massive band.

[Lonk]

Ah, almost forgot to buy them. Yeah pretty expensive but I'm sure it will be worth the price.

[El Barto]

The Eastern pre-sales are all very VIP heavy. I'm not seeing good seats for regular prices. Definitely looking like one of those instances where waiting until Friday is the smart move. I'll certainly check our show, and the show in LA, but my hunch is that it's not worth buying into right now.

edit: On second glance, that's not entirely the case. It's just really fucking expensive. They're charging Roger Waters prices to see this show.

Yup, for the Boston show anything that isn't on one of the balconies is over $100.
Not sure if this is just show-specific or if this venue is always going to be this expensive, but if it's the latter hopefully I won't have to see too many shows there in the future.

Hell, our 300 level seats were >$100.

Oof. We got tickets on the 200 level for $89, but I don't think that includes fees.

[Sacul]

Well, seems they ain't coming to Argentina this time around, so I'll have to save some money and go to the Chile show

[El Barto]

On the bright side, tickets for Mexico City are only $50, and I'll already be down there anyway. Ticket prices really are making me reconsider the LA thing, though.

Yeah, I paid stupid money for the show.

[goo-goo]

Just got bent over with teh Dallas Show...$150 Row V (3 rows below the mixing board). Price includes fees.

[Skeever]

Wowzers, Philly is expensive. Was hoping for Orchestra but at $199 a ticket plus fees? Maybe if Mrs. Skeever wasn't going, but since it's both of us, we'll be enjoying the show from the upper Mezzanine

Some of the seats are Official Platinum so watch out for those. The ones  I chose were not...expensive AF.

[El Barto]

Picked up a <$69 ticket for the Greek Theater gig. I was hoping the pit was GA, but it's all seated, as it turns out. Still, I've wanted to see a show there for a long time, and PT is the ideal band, I think.

[KevShmev]

No STL show, so no go for me. I might have considered going to Chicago for that one, but it's on a Tuesday, so no dice.

[frogprog]

Man, i was so excited for this until I saw the prices for Philly. The same seats I sat in the other night for Dream Theater($65 a seat) were $350 each.... What a money grab. That is BS and I will not be attending. Very disappointed in SW. I know he has lost money to make up for but economic times are tough on us fans too. I would have paid $100 a seat but $350??? Thats crazy.
