Katatonia have announced an Australian tour for February 2024.
The Swedish architects of existential dread are set to hit Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth for five highly-anticipated shows between February 9-13. It will be the legendary gloom-metaller's first trip down under since their celebrated appearance at Dark MOFO in 2022 and their first time playing other Australian markets since 2016. Tickets for the tour go on sale Thursday 31 August, with a Metropolis Touring pre-sale available from 11 am on Wednesday 30 August at 11 am AEST. Sign-ups for the pre-sale are available here.
Led by founding members Jonas Renkse and Anders Nyström have always been and will forevermore be one thing—a vessel of deep emotion; shrouded in Scandinavian despair and a universal longing for salvation.
Over the course of an unbelievable thirty years and twelve studio albums, Katatonia have never shied away from evolution.
They have embraced the concept of growing through rejuvenation to soothe their blackened hearts and scarred souls. At the very core of this entity, there still lingers the essence of their remarkable passage through time and space. Their music is pure and heartfelt from the northern wilderness; cast in mournful dirges for a world that needs a renaissance.
An unmissable live act, Katatonia have long ceased to represent a band that merely makes music and have instead cultivated a living, breathing pilgrimage that mirrors humanity’s longings and shortcomings; its dreams and horrors.
Clad in their dynamic trademark range of darkest metal, soaring post-rock and elaborate prog wanderlust, Katatonia delivers their very own raven-black gospel of urban dystopia, elemental longing and the universal wish for catharsis.
The tour comes in support of Katatonia's twelfth full-length Sky Void of Stars. Released in early 2023, Sky Void of Stars
