Swedish masters of melancholic heaviness KATATONIA bring their acclaimed album ‘Nightmares as Extensions of the Waking State’ to North America in 2026. Around their run supporting Opeth, the band also unveil select headline shows under the banner “Waking State Of North America 2026.” The first headline date lands in Pittsburgh, with major cities including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Montreal, and Brooklyn following.
Jonas Renkse states, “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 parlour of dusk.” The message is clear. This tour expands the reach of a record that stands among their most celebrated.
