Opeth Announces Another North American Tour With Katatonia

Posted by on January 9, 2013

Remember when Katatonia’s Anders Nystrom told us that the band’s initial plans to tour with Opeth again last fall fell through? Well, it looks like it’s been rescheduled, as Opeth have announced plans for a spring North American tour with Katatonia once again serving as main support.

You may also recall that Opeth ended 2012 by teasing fans with some sort of an announcement, though it was pretty obvious that it was about some sort of tour. Aptly titled the North American Heritage Tour 2013, the trek will find both bands touring throughout April and May (including an appearance at this year’s recently announced New England Metal & Hardcore Fest). As an added bonus, Porcupine Tree frontman Steve Wilson will be performing at the tour’s stop in Clifton, NY on April 28. And even though this isn’t the first time the two have toured together, it’s hard to argue that Opeth and Katatonia make a good tour package together.
