Australian proggies Karnivool are to mark the tenth anniversary of their platinum selling second album, ‘Sound Awake’, with a special live stream event next month.
Recorded at The Heath Ledger Theatre in their home city of Perth, the show will see the band ‘Sound Awake’ in its entirety, plus new material and, captured on film properly for the first time, the fan favourite ‘Fade’. It will be broadcast in the ÜK at 8pm on Wednesday 12 May. Tickets are available from www.karnivool.com.
Originally planned as a short Australian tour in early 2020, The Decade of Sound Awake was rescheduled (twice!). All gigs on the East Coast of Australia were cancelled. However, the West Coast shows were allowed to proceed and those made firm the band’s resolve to deliver an equally monumental performance for the world to see.
“Diving back into ‘Sound Awake’ as a complete performance was a sweet reminder of the layers and complexity that make it one of our most important releases,” says singer Ian Kenny. “The music pushes and pulls in complex directions, I continue to find something new when lost in its emotional turbulence.”
Karnivool will embark on their rescheduled European tour next April and May 2022, with ÜK dates scheduled as follows:
- Thursday 19 May – Brsitol, SWX
- Friday 20 May – Manchester, Academy 2
- Saturday 21 May – Birmingham, Institute
- Monday 23 May – Glasgow, Garage
- Tuesday 24 May – Leeds, Stylus
- Wednesday 25 May – London, Forum
