Late last year, progressive behemoths Porcupine Tree announced their big comeback. After being apart for more than a decade, they’re finally back on the road, on their first tour in 12 long years, promoting the acclaimed Closure/Continuation. The energy in Chicago’s beautiful Auditorium Theatre is palpable as they take the stage.
Porcupine Tree receive the sort of welcome that’s usually reserved for, from 2002’s , sets the tone for what’s to come: fans rise from their seats and don’t sit back down for the entirety of the two-set performance. Frontman and guitarist Steven Wilson says he hopes they’re ready for a long night of music and we all rowdily approve, much to his satisfaction.
