Karnivool Announce New 2021 ‘Sound Awake’ Anniversary Tour Dates

August 6, 2020

Karnivool have pushed planned celebrations of a decade of their second studio album Sound Awake back a couple of months, with the anniversary tour now scheduled to take place in March 2021.

While we’re going to have to wait a bit longer for a Karnivool fix, the good news is that there are more opportunities to experience the band’s renown live show, with the prog rockers adding three new dates, one each in Kingscliff, Newcastle and Wollongong.

“Events in Victoria (much love to everyone there!) and an abundance of caution in other parts of the country mean it would be very difficult for the tour to cross some state borders and now does not feel like the best time to gather together in celebration,” say the band in a statement. “And – let’s face it – it’s going to get sweaty and the singalong will be huge – we want everyone to feel good about that!

“We are not willing to compromise the show planned and this tour is not one that can be done in parts, so we are moving the dates to March 2021. This may seem like aeons away but it’s the best way we can assure everyone that it will happen then safely.”

“Please hold onto all the ’11th Anniversary’ jokes,” add the band, “cause we have already made them.”

Fans in WA should also keep their eyes peeled for an impending announcement, the band promising “a different treat lined up”.

All tickets remain valid for the new rescheduled shows. Tickets for the newly announced shows are on sale now. See new dates below.
