Danish melodic proggers VOLA and US avant-garde prog rockers Bent Knee have been announced as support acts to Haken for the band's European Vector Studies tour.
The dates will feature Bent Knee's first ever UK live dates. The Bostonian's did play a small run of European dates in March 2018, but didn't make it across the channel.
VOLA, who released their second album, The Applause Of A Distant Crowd, last year, have just released a live lyric video for Whaler, which you can view below.
“Ever since we got back from the tour we did this fall, we’ve been itching to get out and perform live even more," drummer Adam Janzi tells Prog. "We’re very happy to get the chance to tour in Europe again, this time with the very talented Haken and Bent Knee. This tour will be reaching parts of Scandinavia, which is exciting to us since it’s our home. Being out on the road, traveling and struggling together as well as seeing some familiar and some new faces are such exhilarating experiences. We look forward to meeting you at the shows and making these evenings memorable together!”
