OPETH's North American Heritage Tour 2013, featuring direct support from KATATONIA will kick off on April 18th in Buffalo, NY. The band has checked in with the following update:

"The fanclub pre-sale period for the North American Heritage Tour has now officially ended, which means Artist Arena cannot sell anymore GA concert tickets. In the 'tour dates' app here you'll find the Artist Arena ticket links replaced with your local ticketing vendors except in the markets where we still have some VIP packages on sale.

Mind you that any VIP package purchased as of now does NOT include a GA ticket which will have to be purchased separately. Pay particular attention to this when a show is already sold out, like The Roxy in L.A. Brooklyn date is nearly sold out now as well."

The tour will make two special stops, the first in Worcester, Mass. on April 20th where Katatonia returns to play the New England Metal & Hardcore Festival, then in Clifton Park, NY on April 28th where acclaimed PORCUPINE TREE frontman STEVEN WILSON will join for the night.
