At the end of March 2018, Steven Wilson played a sold-out three-night residency at one of the world’s most iconic venues: London’s Royal Albert Hall. Coming at the tail end of a lengthy European tour, these concerts were the crowning achievement of an incredible seven-month period that began with the release of Wilson’s fifth album, To The Bone (“His best and most complete solo album yet” – Classic Rock, 4★). Released in August 2017, To The Bone charted at No. 3 in the UK and reached the top 10 throughout Europe, rapidly becoming the biggest-selling record in Wilson’s singular thirty-year recording career.
The three Albert Hall shows saw Steven and his virtuoso band present songs from To The Bone and many more from his extensive back catalog, all as part of a visually and sonically immersive experience. Brain-twisting visuals met expansive 4D sound, making the traditionally English venue feel as if it were hosting a very different kind of Prom—more communion than concert. It was no surprise that The Sun described the gig as “one of the best shows of the year – and it’s only March.”
Home Invasion: In Concert at the Royal Albert Hall captures the final show of the three-night run and includes nearly three hours of live performance in stunning Ultra High Definition. The concert film is assembled from footage shot on multiple cameras from every conceivable angle, both in the auditorium and on stage. The sound has been specially mixed by Steven in both 5.1 surround and stereo. It’s the perfect document of one of the UK’s most uncompromising artists—someone who remains “resolutely independent… the most successful British artist you’ve never heard of” (The Telegraph).
Home Invasion: In Concert at the Royal Albert Hall will be released on 4K Ultra High Definition on February 21, 2025.
