Twenty five years as a band is definitely cause to celebrate and Katatonia will be doing just that with a show at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire on October 21st. Fans will enjoy not one but two sets from the band.
One set will see Katatonia perform their classic album The Great Cold Distance in its entirety. Originally released back in 2006, the band’s 7th full-length album saw them continue to embrace a more melodic approach to their song writing. 2016 marks the 10 year anniversary for the album and Peaceville plan to re-issue an anniversary edition of The Great Cold Distance with details to follow in the near future.
Founding Katatonia member Anders Nyström comments:
We once put up a poll, asking our fans, which Katatonia album was their all-time favorite… The Great Cold Distance won that poll! Over the years, there is probably no other album from which we played more songs live and there’s probably no other album with the same amount of songs that still remain in our setlist. So with mutual love for our decade old distance, we decided to celebrate its anniversary by playing the whole damn thing for you, on two different occasions.
First in Plovdiv, Bulgaria (with an orchestra) on 22nd September and later in London, UK (without an orchestra) on 21st October. The other set, on both nights, will feature a wide selection of tracks spanning our entire career, including our latest album The Fall Of Hearts, so join us and be part of crowning our 25th year anniversary in the fall, of hearts.
Tickets for London go on sale on April 15th from the usual outlets. New album The Fall Of Hearts is due for release on 20th May through Peaceville and is available to pre-order.
