Porcupine Tree Frontman Steven Wilson Celebrates Birthday with Mumbai Fans

Renowned English musician Steven Wilson, known for his work with the progressive rock band Porcupine Tree, is currently on an India tour after several years. On November 3, 2025, Wilson performed in Mumbai, which also doubled as his birthday celebration. The artist is now set to mesmerize fans in Kolkata this evening.

In a recent interview, Wilson reflected on his musical journey and the themes that lie at the heart of his work. He grew up on the music of the early 1970s, citing the influence of artists like Pink Floyd and Mike Oldfield. While he finds it challenging to be "blown away" by new music these days, Wilson still cherishes the profound impact certain tracks had on him in his formative years.

Wilson's solo career has been marked by a commitment to creative reinvention. He makes music in a "selfish" way, following his instincts, and is grateful that his fans respect his artistic vision, even if they don't like everything he does. The musician has also enjoyed collaborations, such as his work with guitarist Randy McStine on the album "The Overview."

Alongside his solo endeavors, Wilson has been deeply immersed in remixing classic albums, a process that has consumed much of his time. As he looks ahead, the artist's focus remains on his solo work and remixing projects, while also spending quality time with his family.
