Voyage 35<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Long time bassist Colin Edwin<\/strong> and touring guitarist John Wesley<\/strong> performed their last concert with Porcupine Tree<\/strong> at the Royal Albert Hall in London in October of 2010. In the Autumn of 2026, Edwin and Wesley\u2019s new project Voyage 35 sees them take to the stage again to deliver new interpretations of Porcupine Tree\u2019s early catalogue.\u00a0 Whilst acknowledging the past, ex Porcupine Tree members Colin Edwin and John Wesley are intent on driving the music firmly toward the future.<\/p>\n

Colin Edwin:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cI know there is a lot of love out there for the early Porcupine Tree material, and many people have expressed a desire to hear it again. Most of this music kind of fell by the wayside as the band moved on, and it feels right to revisit things again with a fresh approach and new musical talent\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

John Wesley:<\/strong> \u201cI realized deep inside that I really missed playing that music, so an opportunity to go out with Colin and an amazing set of musicians to perform music I deeply cared about was not something I was going to miss. Bringing that music to fans that care about it as I do will be a mutual pleasure\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Colin Edwin and John Wesley\u2019s Voyage 35\u2019s performance will not only feature Porcupine Trees\u2019 original lightshow Fruit Salad Lights<\/strong>, but will also focus exclusively on material which has, for the most part, not been performed live since 1997\u2019s Coma Divine<\/em>\u00a0live album that included many fan favorites including \u2018Radioactive Toy\u2019, \u2018Up the Downstair\u2019, \u2018Signify\u2019, and \u2018Moonloop\u2019. Edwin and Wesley will be digging into\u00a0Porcupine Tree\u2019s catalogue spanning the Delerium and Snapper years – from the first album release,\u00a0On The Sunday of Life<\/em>\u00a0(1992) through to the\u00a0Lightbulb Sun\u00a0album<\/em> (2000) revisiting classics such as \u2018Voyage 34\u2019 and \u2018Fadeaway\u2019 along with tracks that were rarely performed live.<\/p>\n

The band aims to capture the true spirit of the psychedelic, space rock and progressive adventure, performing music that has mostly been unheard in a live environment for over two decades. Concentrating on the epic, spacious, psychedelic and unashamedly progressive sound of Porcupine Tree\u2019s early material, Colin Edwin and John Wesley\u2019s Voyage 35 will be adding an improvised flavor of their own.<\/p>\n

On April 3, 2026, the band released “The Nostalgia Factory<\/a>“<\/strong>\u2014 a unique cover version of a standout track from that debut album. The reimagined eight minute version of the song pays homage to Porcupine Tree\u2019s formative era, where the spirits of ’60s and ’70s space rock collided to create an intoxicating, psychedelic symphony. When asked what he thought of his bandmates reviving this material, Steven Wilson<\/strong> responded, \u201cOh, I think them playing a whole repertoire of that material sounds like great fun!\u201d In fact, he played \u201cThe Nostalgia Factory\u201d on his SiriusXM radio channel on release day!<\/p>\n
