Katatonia Tour Dates March 2010

Following the release of their critically acclaimed album Night Is the New Day in November 2009, Katatonia are set to tour the UK in 2010.

Formed in 1991 by Anders Nyström and Jonas Renkse, their debut album, Dance of December Souls, was released in 1993, gaining the band recognition for their eclectic brand of gothic doom/death metal & joining acts such as Paradise Lost & My Dying Bride to become one of the genre's defining bands. On future albums a newer, sleeker Katatonia sound came to the fore, starting with a streamlined & structured collection of melodic dark rock songs that became the third album Discouraged Ones; the main evolution point for modern day Katatonia.

Consummate live performers, Katatonia have just supported Paradise Lost across the UK and performed at the Hellfire festival. The bands have announced a series of headline UK gigs across the UK in March 2010 in addition to performing at Hammerfest II. Full dates are as follows -
