Fact#1 Our last headline show in Stockholm was 5 years ago…
Fact#2 It has been 10 years since we last played a club show in Gothenburg…
Fact#3 We never ever played Linköping nor Malmö…
We know many of our swedish fans have repeatedly been asking why Katatonia rarely/never play on homeground. Well, there might be more than one answer to this, or maybe no real good answer at all? But what matters now is all this is about to change as we’re is just getting ready to tour Sweden as part of our Scandinavian leg of the ‘Night is the new day’ 2010 world tour! So, join us at one of these Swedish dates below and be a part of the change!
We’re very proud to announce that Katatonia will perform at the music portion of the annual cultural festival for students ‘Mood Indigo‘, held for the 39th time in Mumbai, India. This will be our first visit in this country and we’ll be flying into India straight after our Australian run on the travelling ‘No Sleep Till…’ festival and will headline the main stage on tuesday, December 21st where, hopefully, a big portion of the 72.000 students attending will come to check us out. More information on this cool festival can be found here:
Here’s a new interview with Jonas from Metal Injection, where he discusses the song Sold Heart, not being confined to any genres, the reasons for Mattias and Fred leaving the band, Night is the New Day and much more.
We’re happy to confirm 7 more Scandinavian headline dates along the earlier announced Danish Alborg Metal Fest and Swedish Linköping headline show. See the tour section for details! Support acts are yet to be confirmed, but we hope to more info on these soon.
For those unaware, two of Katatonia’s guitars were stolen during the St. Paul gig several days ago. Thankfully, the band has some good news to report from the road today:
The police reported today that the guitars have been turned in. We wont get into the murky ugly details right now as the priority was and is that we get them back on the road for our shows and then onto the competition winners, so lets celebrate that for now while the police continue to do their job. So…. Vancouver for the first time tonight, who’s with us?
You may have noticed the show announcements for the club show in Linköping, Sweden and for the Ålborg Metal Fest in Denmark and we wanted to make you aware that more Scandinavian shows will be announced soon. We can’t give out any details just yet, but keep an eye out for this as news is soon to come.
Our New Night Over America tour starts tonight in Baltimore. As previously mentioned, we’ll be joined by Swallow the Sun from Finland and Orphaned Land from Israel.
You can view all of the tour dates and links to buy tickets here. See you soon!
