Swedish masters of exquisite gloom KATATONIA are returning to North America next year for their “Waking State of North America 2026” tour — proof that despair, when done right, really does travel well.
Frontman Jonas Renkse offers a few words to set the tone:
“USA and Canada! On top of our run with OPETH, we’re also bringing our own headline shows to your shores, something you wouldn’t wanna miss. See you all in the parlor of dusk. Get your tickets now!”
