 Topic: Opeth - 20 Years Celebration Tour in April 2010
Posted: January 03 2010 at 03:46 |
|
Opeth will do a number of concerts to celebrate their 20th Anniversary.
They will be playing the entire Blackwater Park followed by a big selection from the other albums!
6 gigs are planned around the Easter weekend: Stockholm, Essen, Paris, London, NYC and LA.
It's almost sold out so hurry up. I'll be at the London gig!

No Chicago? LAME. No excuse!

I agree; no Chicago = LAME. However, since Blackwater park is a phenomenal album, I am excited about whatever live releases may result from this extra pretentious 20th anniversary trendy-city-exclusive mini-tour.

Yes it's a bit exclusive...
Especially since they will spend the best of the coming 3 months rehearsing, I would expect them to capitalize on it a bit more, but I guess they didn't want to get too involved in touring. Lazy bums!

I might go at the Paris show, I hope that by the time that I find out if I really can, they still have tickets.

If I were you I'd buy the tickets as fast as I can, and if I couldn't go after all, sell them to someone else 
The Stockholm show was pretty tempting, but I decided to pass. I'm sure I'll regret at some point.

Stockholm is the closest to where I live but still 521.68 kilometers from Copenhagen so I´ll pass too. Too bad they didn´t chose Malmö instead ( saw Opeth there about a year ago)

Well we're freaks. We saw them twice last year, once in Brussels and another time in NYC on our honeymoon. Romantic Now we'll see them on a London trip which we were planning for anyway.

Stockholm is a bit nearer to me , but only ferry or plane ( no car traveling because of sea ). Possibly next time

Stockholm, Sweden sounds just fine by me!  Too bad that they chose Cirkus as their arena. I've seen them recently during the Prog Nation 2009 tour when the band played at Hovet. It was a really nice surprise to hear them perform White Cluster!

There's still tickets for the London show.
Just got mine and looking forward to it!
My expectations are extremely high.

I'm just wondering though. I've never been to the Royal Albert Hall in London before. (From Belgium you see) My tickets have a row and seat number. If we're actually gonna be seated it's gonna be a pretty weird Opeth gig.  Does anybody know for sure if it's gonna be standing or seated?
