Opeth will celebrate their approaching 25th anniversary as a band with a special set at the London Palladium in London, England on October 18th of 2015. The set will see the band perform 2005’s “Ghost Reveries“, which itself is turning 10. A second set of various fan favorites will follow. Band frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt said of their plans:
“The forces that be put up a very mystical and subtle little advert on the so called internet. Yes, we will celebrate 25 years of being Opeth in 2015 and this is reason enough to gather up the forces and play. For you. At the Palladium in London. Not sure if they have a dress-code there, as it is a posh little place. Do we care?
No we don’t. It will be a pretty unique evening I reckon, hopefully free of technical difficulties. No thanks to Baal! With that said, we are a live band in the true sense of the word and you can never be certain. Regardless it will be a blast and I strongly advise you to think about attending. But don’t think for too long. It might cost you your seat!
We’re currently on tour (Hey! Thanks European progrockdeathmetalheads! You are absolutely fantastic and we love you!) and I’m being called for, so gotta dash. Ta-ta!”
Tickets will go on sale this coming Friday, November 14th, at this location.
