You can always expect a number of things from a Steven Wilson show: complex, artfully composed music, of course, but virtuosic musicianship, pristine sound, and stunning visuals are also a given.

But on his latest To the Bone tour, you can add one more thing. Depending on your perspective on Mr. Wilson, it is either completely horrifying or truly adventurous.

Yes, proggers. We’re talking about dancing. To a three-minute pop song.

It began in the second set with, naturally enough, “Permanating,” his self-confessed Abba-influenced slice of 1970s disco. Wilson purists have recoiled at the song, but at the PlayStation Theater this night, they were more than outnumbered by those dancing at the foot of the stage or in front their seats.

To show he was serious, Wilson then followed it up with “Song of I,” with footage of a dancer projected onto the scrim in front of the band. And after the beautifully rendered Porcupine Tree ballad “Lazarus,” “Detonation” added the thematic exclamation point, with its funky ending and visuals of a multiplying mannequin robotically dancing in place.

This precisely calibrated movement from the expected to the unexpected and back is really Wilson’s stock-in-trade, and on this tour, it works to perfection. The first set mostly mixed material from the last two albums, and featured a gorgeous virtual duet with a holographic Ninet Tayeb on “Pariah,” Wison’s homage to Peter Gabriel’s “Don’t Give Up.” And while drummer Craig Blundell and new guitarist Alex Hutchings seemed to struggle a little on “Home Invasion/Regret #9”  from Hand. Cannot. Erase., they more than made up for it with a suitably ferocious version of “People Who Eat Darkness” and an equally fierce conclusion to “Ancestral.”

Set two, “Mama Mia” references aside, was much more of a nod to Wilson’s distant Porcupine Tree past, bookended by a sublime “Arriving Somewhere But Not Here” and a thunderous “Sleep Together.” But nowhere was Wilson’s eclecticism on display more than in “The Same Asylum as Before,” with its punky intro, falsetto vocals, singalong chorus and crushing Kashmir-esque guitar riff.

You can call Steven Wilson what you want — singer, songwriter, producer, engineer, and now, it seems, disco diva. Just don’t call him, or his music, progressive. Because, as he explained toward the end of a truly memorable evening, “if you think this music is, and you think you are, you probably aren’t. And you should know the music isn’t.”

John Lennon once said that “if you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it Chuck Berry.” So, per Mr. Wilson’s request, maybe it is time to ditch the term progressive and give it another name. I propose that, from now on, music that simultaneously exploits and defies genre conventions, that mixes expertly crafted ballads with metal-edged noise and funk and punk and even disco junk into one completely satisfying whole, will be called Steven Wilson.

Has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?
