ANATHEMA To Road Test New Material During UK And Netherlands Dates In November
August 5th, 2016

Liverpool, England-based progressive rock band Anathema will perform a string of intimate shows in the UK and the Netherlands during November 2016.

The dates have been scheduled to road test material from Anathema’s as-yet-untitled 11th full-length studio album, which they have been working on in their London studio for the past few months.

Frontman Vincent Cavanagh commented: “There’s something about the immediacy of playing something new before an audience who are hearing it for the first time. There’s a sense of urgency and excitement to it. Also, you know instantly whether or not something is working. Quite often in the past we have ended up changing previously recorded songs and arrangements after playing them live. We thought we’d try it the other way around for once.”

The dates are as follows:

Nov. 04 – Holmfirth, England, Picturedrome
Nov. 05 – Cardiff, Wales, The Globe
Nov. 06 – Brighton, England, The Haunt
Nov. 07 – Leamington Spa, England, Assembly
Nov. 08 – Reading, England, Sub89
Nov. 10 – Zoetermeer, Netherlands, Boerderij
Nov. 15 – Southampton, England, Engine Rooms
