The first of 6 shows that Porcupine Tree will play with ProjeKCt Six (Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew) in the USA in October have now been confirmed:

6th Oct - New York City: Nokia Theater
7th Oct - Philadelphia: Keswick Theater

Ticket information, as well as the remaining confirmed gigs, will be posted shortly. The band will also make available a limited amount of VIP tickets for each show.

Killer.

Man, Prog in the Park is that same weekend. I just saw PT with Fripp last fall so this is no big deal to me. Maybe I'll have to toss a coin on that one.

A theater technically in a suburb called Glenside, about 10 min. from my house.

I've got tickets to the Nokia and the Keswick.  But there is another date not on your list mentioned here.  Its on Sunday Oct. 8th in the DC area.  Forgot the name of the venue.

When they first anounced this, my brother couldn't go because of college and I didn't want to go alone, so I there was no way I was going to this concert. Well today something got cancelled, and now I'm going to listen to new PT music on Oct. 6 in NY!!!!!........... I'm so happy.

How'd you like it? I was there last night too. I'm pretty speechless, to say the least.
    

A few comments from the D.C. show...

First off, I thought ProjeKct Six was fantastic.  Adrian Belew and Robert Fripp experimented with some stuff and looked like they were having a great time.  Played for about 1/2 hour (too short IMO).

PT... What a performance.  I think they played 6 new songs, of which the 17 min one was fantastic.  Steve commented that next week after they get back to England they were going into the studio to record.  Can hardly wait.

The second set was a lot of fun.  Music from In Absentia and Deadwing.  Heavy and loud.  It was great.  Buying New Soul and Halo were highlights and so was their closing number Trains.  Great encore.

Well, Steve said they'll be back this coming spring.  I'll be waiting in line.
