Opeth will be 25 next year, and to celebrate the Swedish progressive outfit will be putting on a very special show!

It’s hard to believe the progressive death legends will be quarter of a century old. The music they have produced through their career does not show the age at all, but to celebrate the achievement of being a band for that long, Opeth will put on a special show at London’s Palladium on October 18th, 2015.

The show will include two sets, one including a regular setlist and one where the band will play the entire ‘Ghost Reveries‘ album (which also has it’s 10th birthday). Tickets will go on sale via LiveNation on November 14th at 9am – be sure to get your tickets soon, this is one that will guarantee to sell out well in advance!

Frontman Mikael Akerfeldt commented on the announcement of the show:

“The forces that be put up a very mystical and subtle little advert on the so called Internet.

“Yes, we will celebrate 25 years of being Opeth in 2015 and this is reason enough to gather up the forces and play. For you. At the Palladium in London. Not sure if they have a dress-code there, as it is a posh little place. Do we care? No we don’t. It will be a pretty unique evening, I reckon, hopefully free of technical difficulties. No thanks to Baal! With that said, we are a live band in the true sense of the word and you can never be certain. Regardless, it will be a blast and I strongly advise you to think about attending. But don’t think for too long. It might cost you your seat! We’re currently on tour (Hey! Thanks European progrockdeathmetalheads! You are absolutely fantastic and we love you!) and I’m being called for, so gotta dash. Ta-ta!”
