OPETH Reschedule San Francisco, Los Angeles Dates

October 10, 2005

Swedish rock innovators OPETH were set to hit the US shores on October 9th in Tempe when the band's plans were derailed by unforeseen circumstances; unfortunately, along with Tempe's gig went Los Angeles at House Of Blues (Oct. 10 and Fillmore theater in San Francisco on Oct. 11). FEAR NOT! OPETH are rerouting their tour to add in later San Francisco and Los Angeles dates.

In support of the new album, "Ghost Reveries", which sold 15,000 copies in its first week, tripling the band's best-ever first-week sales to date, and placing the record at #1 on the Billboard current Hard Music chart, #8 on the Top Hard Music chart and #64 on The Billboard 200 chart for the week; sets the band up for a successful trek on the North American leg of the "Ghost Reveries" world tour; which runs in North America through mid-November 2005. Supporting the band directly on this run will be PELICAN (through Oct. 22) then NEVERMORE (beginning Oct. 24). Openers FIREBALL MINISTRY (through Oct. 30) then INTO ETERNITY (beginning Oct. 31) have recently been added to the bill.

"After only being able to play three or four songs on Sounds Of The Underground tour, it will be great to have the freedom to do a 90-minute set encompassing our wide repertoire," says vocalist Mikael Åkerfeldt of the band’s extended stage time on this outing.

Fans will be able to purchase a limited supply of advance tickets for these dates at a reduced rate through this link. The first 13 groups of four who purchase tickets online in each market will receive after show passes to meet the band.
