Opeth have announced an autumn UK and Ireland tour.
Prior to their headline set at Damnation Festival in Leeds on November 2, the Swedish band have lined up shows in London, Glasgow and Dublin between October 29 and November 1. They'll also follow up their festival appearance with a stop at the O2 Academy Bristol on November 3 before heading to Europe. Tickets go on general sale from 10am on June 3.
Discussing how the tour will support their forthcoming 13th studio album, 'In Cauda Venenum', frontman Mikael Akerfeldt said:
"Well, Skid Row made that album, 'Slave To The Grind' (great LP!) and that’s what we (all) are. The new album is finished and it’s called 'In Cauda Venenum' and of course there’s a tour planned in support of this. The UK is our 'home away from home' and we’re coming over for a few shows. I'm very much looking forward to this. We’ll play something old, something new, something horrible and something true. Take care until then….well, after 'then' too.."
