Fresh off of topping the charts in numerous countries with the recent release of their fourth studio album “Even In Arcadia“, British alternative metal stars Sleep Token took to the stage yesterday, June 07th, for their first show of the year.
Outside of the lavish Arcadia-themed stage production, which gave off an air of a life-size Masters Of The Universe playset, complete with various alcoves and such for the band’s drummer “II“, their touring choir the Espera and more, there was also new masks and the live debut of several tracks from their latest album. Among those to get their first airing were “Look To Windward“, “Emergence“, “Caramel” and “Damocles“.
Fan-filmed footage of the whole spectacle has since been shared online, with the concert itself being part of this year’s ‘Rock im Park‘ festival in Nuremberg, Germany. The band are next scheduled to play that annual event’s sister festival ‘Rock am Ring‘ today, June 08th.
The complete setlist for the secretive outfit’s first show since December of last year ran as follows:
“Look To Windward”
“The Offering”
“Vore”
“Emergence”
“Alkaline”
“Hyponosis”
“Aqua Regia”
“Rain”
“Caramel”
“The Summoning”
“Granite”
“The Love You Want”
“Higher”
“Damocles”
“Thread The Needle”
“Take Me Back To Eden”
While already a proven arena headliner in the UK and Europe, the group are now poised to level up their live show across the United States later this year with their already sold-out first-ever Arena tour in that territory.
Ahead of that however arrives yet another test of their ascension to the big leagues, having been booked as first-time headliner for the annual ‘Download Festival‘ in Derbyshire, UK this coming weekend. Sleep Token‘s scheduled ‘rituals’ for the year include:
