Opeth have revealed they’ll tour across in Europe in 2021.

The Swedish outfit have revealed 11 dates for March next year, with further concerts to be announced in due course.

A statement reads: “Last year, Swedish prog-metal/rock legends Opeth released their stunning new album In Cauda Venenum, which is available in both Swedish and English. 

“Today they announce a European tour for March 2021, on which they will be accompanied by retro rockers The Vintage Caravan from Iceland. More dates to follow.”

The first run of show will kick off in Tallinn, Estonia, on March 10 and conclude in Milan, Italy, on the 23rd of the month, with tickets going on general sale from 9pm CEST on July 13.

Back in May, it was confirmed that Opeth would headline the UK’s ArcTanGent festival in 2021 after the 2020 event was cancelled.
