Long-running progressive doom band Katatonia had a banner year in 2016, celebrating their 25thanniversaryy and releaseing their latest album The Fall Of Hearts (Peaceville). They have now booked a spring tour coming up in May, with direct support coming from Caspian, and Uncured.
Guitarist Anders Nyström comments:
‘We’re really excited to be returning to the UK and Ireland for a proper full headline tour in support of our latest album ’The Fall Of Hearts’. Last year, we only got as far as playing London where we focused on the 10th anniversary of ’The Great Cold Distance’ by playing the album in full, so this time we’ll be coming back for more! Join us in May and see us deliver the rest of the darkness!’
