Sleep Token opens North American arena tour for Even in Arcadia

Sleep Token launched their North American arena tour on Tuesday night, September 16, playing a sold-out date at the Gas South Arena in Duluth, Georgia, the start of a roughly 18-date run in support of their fourth album, Even in Arcadia. The U.K. band, whose members perform anonymously under single-word identities, opened the outing with Look To Windward and closed with the record's epic Infinite Baths, giving two songs their live debuts and mixing material from across their catalogue for a 15-song set.

According to setlist reports and fan-shot footage, the show featured live debuts of Provider and Infinite Baths, as well as the first U.S. performance of Thread The Needle. The band moved through recent singles Emergence, Caramel and Damocles alongside earlier tracks such as The Offering and Vore. Support came from Thornhill, and the evening included the same towering stage design the group used during European festival appearances earlier this year, a multi-tiered castle with a built-in waterfall that the band shared in a series of photographs described by the group as sacred moments in time.

Even in Arcadia, released in May, has driven much of the attention around the tour....
