"Who has the weirdest way to prepare for a show?" 

"Who is the most active on social media?" 

The heavy metal 'n' roll, dark, madcap visionaries collectively known as Avatar - vocalist Johannes Eckerström, guitarists Jonas Jarlsby and Tim Öhrström, bassist Henrik Sandelin, and drummer John Alfredsson - sat down with Finland's Chaoszine to discuss 15 different topics about the band and it's members. Check out the video below. 

Avatar will return to the US for a headline tour this May. The trek kicks off on May 8 in Indianapolis and includes appearances at key festivals such as Sonic Temple.

Oxymorrons and Conquer Divide will serve as support. All dates are below. Tickets go on sale on Friday, February 16. Get tickets here.

2024 will be quite a year for Avatar. With headline tours in Europe and Latin America announced, and festival dates in the US, the band is set to have a monumental start to their year. Europe already has nine sold-out shows, with many others on their way to selling out. Avatar's first headline tour in Latin America is a milestone in and of itself. The band will headline a Sonic Temple stage this May - their first headline set at a DWP Festival.  The band's latest album Dance Devil Dance is out now.
