With The Decade of Sound Awake Tour originally slated for April 2020, Karnivool have rescheduled their Australian tour dates for September 2020 amidst the current global health crisis.
The Aussie rockers Karnivool tour will see them play the whole Sound Awake album in its entirety, marking some of the band’s biggest headline shows to date.
This particular album captured a moment in time when circumstance, influence and individuals collided, restructured and, with a lot of time, pain and joy became elevated above the sum of the parts. A decade and platinum sales have passed the landmark moment in the career of this band who have always gone their own way – meandered when they could have rushed, explored a sonic roadmap forward, then sideways, then backwards. And then forward again.
Sound Awake is an album heavily informed by the art and science of Cymatics and questioning of an ever-changing world. From the structured rage of ‘Set Fire to the Hive’, the monster riffing of ‘Goliath’ and the single that was never a single ‘New Day’, Sound Awake is a record full of fan favourites that Kenny, Drew, Hoss, Steve and Jon see as their benchmark.
Attaining worldwide success over this last decade, it launched Karnivool to an intensely loyal, passionate audience that lifted them from an opening act with some interesting tuning to international festival headline act with, well, more interesting tuning in more interesting places… Youngstown, Istanbul, Glasgow, Helsinki, Pune, Bratislava, Auckland, Cape Town, Moscow, Wiesbaden and some place they were told was Chicago, but clearly wasn’t.
Catch them at Festival Hall, Melbourne on Thursday, September 24.
All tickets for the April 2020 tour dates are valid for the new rescheduled shows. For those who can no longer attend, refunds are available from point of purchase until April 30.
