Katatonia Announces 2026 Australian & New Zealand Tour: A Haunting Experience Awaits
Prepare to be captivated. Katatonia,the Swedish masters of melancholic metal,are returning to Australia and New Zealand in October 2026. This tour promises an unforgettable journey into their signature blend of darkness, melody, and progressive exploration.
For over three decades, Katatonia has consistently pushed boundaries. They’ve seamlessly woven together elements of goth, shoegaze, and progressive rock, creating a sound uniquely their own. Their latest album, Nightmares as Extensions of the Waking State, represents a bold new chapter, and arguably the most personal work from founder and songwriter Jonas Renkse to date.
Katatonia’s live performances are legendary. Drawing inspiration from acclaimed albums like The great Cold Distance and Dead End Kings, their concerts are a dynamic experience. Expect a dazzling display of experimentation, heavier riffs than ever before, and of course, the dark, anthemic hooks that define their sound.
Don’t miss your chance to witness this iconic band live. Katatonia shows are known to sell out quickly, so mark your calendars and prepare to secure your tickets.
