Opeth Announce The Evolution XXX ‘By Request’ Tour
Swedish progressive metal band, Opeth, have just announced a tour for their 30 anniversary next year. Opeth are allowing fans to vote for the songs they’d like to hear on the setlist.
The tour consists of eight dates, starting in Berlin on the 13th October 2021, and reaching an end in Lisbon on the 25th October 2021.
Tickets for this tour go on sale Monday 7th at 9am UK time, this is also when fans will be able to start voting for the songs they’d like to hear over at the bands website http://www.opeth.com/
Frontman Mikael Ã…kerfeldt said “So, we’re planning to celebrate a belated band-birthday, also known as BBB. How do we celebrate a thing like this, you ask? Well, we go to work. We are planning a very few select shows in 2021 where you basically have the collective choice of picking the songs for the setlist. Since we celebrate 30 years we would love to play a song from each album we’ve done. All 13 of them. If you can help us and pick your choice of one song per album from the list, and then we’ll simply play the songs with the most votes. It’s been done before, but not by us. I am reluctant and nervous, but also excited to see what songs you will choose. I can’t really believe we’ve been around for 30 years, but there you go. So please help us. And be gentle. The final setlist will have 13 songs. One from each album. Your call….”
The band is also set to headline next years ArcTangent Festival.
