OPETH Launch Video Trailer For Wembley Arena Date In November
October 19, 2016, 8 years ago
Opeth have released a video trailer for their upcoming one-off UK show at London's Wembley Arena. Last year the band celebrated their 25th Anniversary with a string of special An Evening With... shows, that saw the band grace the stage of historic and celebrated venues such as London's Theatre Royal, LA's Orpheum and New York's Beacon Theater.
Frontman Mikael Akerfeldt states: "We have played Wembley Arena once before supporting Dream Theater but to be back on our own, so to speak, is a daunting yet exciting task. London has always been kind to us ever since our very early overseas shows, and I have no doubt that this will be yet another overwhelming experience. This will be the biggest show we have ever done on our own and we will approach it with our 25 years as a band in our luggage. It will be memorable and fantastic I have no doubt. I hope you'll be there to celebrate with us. A bunch of bums from Stockholm. Can't believe we're doing this. I'm nervous. Excited. Fucking hell! Opeth at Wembley Arena. Who would have thought?!"
The band will play the SSE Wembley Arena in London on Saturday, November 19th. General admission tickets and limited VIP packages at this location.
The video below features highlights from Opeth's Evening Of Sorcery, Damnation & Deliverance, held in New York City on October 1st at Radio City Music Hall. The footage was filmed and edited by Christer Lorichs.
