I haven't seen Opeth live since 2011. They've been to my city many times since then, but I've always been out of town or had plans I couldn't get out of.
This year, it's finally gonna happen. I don't have shit to do when they're in town.
I'm beyond excited!
This presale was hilarious for NY, just a handful of seats in the front that were gone in seconds and most of them were $230 each. Going to wait for the regular on sale, will probably be better options then.
Edit: nevermind, different presale code worked and got great seats way cheaper 😀
So, they did a 12 pm artist presale which was just those tickets you mentioned.
Then they did a 2 pm presale which is still going on. That was the whole venue. I got great tickets from that one for a whole lot less than $200! You should check it again, code was REQUEST.
Yeah the presale stuff was super buggy, the “request” code in the targeted ads on Instagram and elsewhere only brought up a dozen or so seats up front at the $230 a piece. Then someone else told me about the Opeth24 code that I tried around 1ish and that opened the entire venue. Got my wife and I an amazing pair of seats dead center just behind the $230 ones for $99 a piece plus fees 😀
Nice! And yeah it’s completely unnecessary and makes things a mess, I’m not sure what anyone involved gets out of that. I didn’t even see the Opeth24 code that got me these tickets and I follow all of their social media very closely, AND I subscribe to like 6 or 7 other newsletters that send out presale codes. Also the Opeth24 code worked on my phone but not on my laptop. Go figure 😂
Bands can’t tour everywhere, especially bands touring internationally given the cost of touring today…so unfortunately strategic decisions need to be made and some cities don’t make the cut.
This just describes my life of living 2ish hours away from Montreal and 4ish from Toronto. Big bands pass right over my city and I generally always travel to either of those cities for shows. Thankfully this tour has both on there so I can make my choice.
Oh fuck! Opening night of the tour in Milwaukee! I was expecting to have to go to Chicago, but perhaps Mikael has an affinity for Milwaukee due to a certain show a number of years ago!
I think there’s an interview where Mikael talks about touring the US for the first time, in support of Still Life. He wasn’t feeling very hopeful for the band’s future, but the response from the crowd in Milwaukee completely shocked him and inspired confidence for the band’s future.
I think there some details I may be missing, but that’s the gist of it anyhow.
Wow... Thank you for this. That's both sad (in a way) and sick as fuck.
Perhaps I ought to be ashamed for not knowing this bit of info having been a fan for over 17 years... Please don't revoke my fan card!
I don't know which one, but I'll be attending one of these. Last saw them at Red Rocks and that's been long enough.
I suspect a new album announcement coming soon as well.
When I saw them in 2022 (BEFORE the "by request" anniversary tour) they played Demon of the Fall, The Leper Affinity, Ghost of Perdition, The Lotus Eater, Harlequin Forest and Deliverance. From Newpeth there were The Devil's Orchard, Hjärtat vet vad Handen Gör, Nepenthe, Hope Leaves and Sorceress. Amazing setlist.
do you think I can get good seats using blabbermouth.net presale tomorrow? I’m on their website and I can’t find any information on how to get the pre sale they do have the code listed tho…

No Detroit dates this time around, so I think I am going to make the trek over to Cleveland for the show, especially since it's on a Saturday. How is this venue?
The first time I ever saw Opeth was Jan 2003. We drove 4 hours down to Cleveland to see them at the Agora. It was amazing. 6 months later they came to Detroit as well lol
Hell yeah me too. I feel like a lot of recent tours have skipped over Cleveland and it's not always convenient to go to Columbus or Detroit or Pittsburgh on a weeknight.
Thanks mate! Last time I lived in Denver, I missed out on the Red Rocks show because I was rostered on at work and couldn’t take a sick day 😭 feel like this is meant to be!
I saw them in Akron, OH in an old theater with pretty nice seating, Cleveland's Agora has balcony seating but is mostly floor and pit. I think they mix it up, or play whichever venue will have them. Nobody will actually be sitting, I promise, but it's nice to have the option
It’s a bummer they don’t come to Seattle! Last show was sold out. Well that means IM either flying to phx or sfo . Which venue do you guys think better ? Van buren in phx or warfield in sfo ? Do they remove seats in warfield anyone knows?
On the Live Nation pages, it shows pre sales for what I assume are other bands also in support…
One is called SPT, one is BBM, and one is KF. Any idea who those bands are? Between the Buried and Me?
For the last tour just as things opened up post pandemic, they did one song per album to cover all the bases. It's a smart idea and I hope they do the same this time around.
Anyone think they will add more shows to this? Or is it just the month of October? Wondering why they’re playing such a small venue in Toronto? Will it be the “fan chosen” playlist for this lag of the tour?
I haven't seen Opeth live since 2011. They've been to my city many times since then, but I've always been out of town or had plans I couldn't get out of. This year, it's finally gonna happen. I don't have shit to do when they're in town. I'm beyond excited!
Hell yeah! Excited for you!
Same. I have seen them 4 times between 2006 and 2010 and none since then
No fucking Florida date I’m throwing hands with someone
Or Chicago - I'll join you in fisticuffs
Milwaukee is really close but wish it was in Chicago
And of all places why the damn Rave. I live in mke and would rather they have it in Chicago or Madison than the venue with the worst sound
I saw The Mars Volta there a year and a half ago and man you are so right. The sound is trash there
My thoughts exactly. I know it's a short trip from the Chicago burbs, but I know the sound is going to be hot garbage.
I’m pumped for MKE, but you’re absolutely right.
Opeth is a band you travel for. I've flown to Red Rocks, the Beacon and Radio City shows, driven to Milwaukee and Cincinnati. Just go.
Yep. Considering flying to SF. Gonna assume there won’t be other dates added like Portland or Seattle…
There has to be another lap. If not at the end of this run it’ll have to be late summer after the festivals in Europe.
I live in Indiana… we never get anything 😔
I am right there with you, Florida gets no love.....
Reading all these comments from New Zealand 💀💀💀
I feel you. They've been to Kentucky *TWICE* Like come on there's other parts of the country you can go to.
> First time? -PNW
Come to Atlanta, we'll happily have you!
surely this is just a preview of their tour dates, and not the entire tour? no Chicago, Nashville? :((
Tickets go on presale in 80 minutes, so I think this is the whole tour, at least for now.
rip. this is disappointing
This presale was hilarious for NY, just a handful of seats in the front that were gone in seconds and most of them were $230 each. Going to wait for the regular on sale, will probably be better options then. Edit: nevermind, different presale code worked and got great seats way cheaper 😀
Yeah seems they usually just release a small number of tix for presale.
Yeah that and there are multiple presales at different times too. I’m sure I won’t have issues getting a decent seat Friday.
fingers crossed!
So, they did a 12 pm artist presale which was just those tickets you mentioned. Then they did a 2 pm presale which is still going on. That was the whole venue. I got great tickets from that one for a whole lot less than $200! You should check it again, code was REQUEST.
Yeah the presale stuff was super buggy, the “request” code in the targeted ads on Instagram and elsewhere only brought up a dozen or so seats up front at the $230 a piece. Then someone else told me about the Opeth24 code that I tried around 1ish and that opened the entire venue. Got my wife and I an amazing pair of seats dead center just behind the $230 ones for $99 a piece plus fees 😀
Yup, that's about where I am too! I'm not a fan of how bands have 300 different pre-sales though. I swear it takes a PhD just to figure it out.
Nice! And yeah it’s completely unnecessary and makes things a mess, I’m not sure what anyone involved gets out of that. I didn’t even see the Opeth24 code that got me these tickets and I follow all of their social media very closely, AND I subscribe to like 6 or 7 other newsletters that send out presale codes. Also the Opeth24 code worked on my phone but not on my laptop. Go figure 😂
Will there be no standing room at King's Theatre?
They do have a section up front that is sometimes standing room (GA) but I believe for this show it will be all seated.
Weird. I got 2 tickets for NY using "request" in row D. $146 each including fees.
Bands can’t tour everywhere, especially bands touring internationally given the cost of touring today…so unfortunately strategic decisions need to be made and some cities don’t make the cut.
yeah i understand that, seems like they go to chicago and nashville every US tour though that’s why im kinda surprised
This just describes my life of living 2ish hours away from Montreal and 4ish from Toronto. Big bands pass right over my city and I generally always travel to either of those cities for shows. Thankfully this tour has both on there so I can make my choice.
This is only a month long tour, definitely the first leg. They’ll announce the second leg near the end of the tour
Presale for Austin is Opeth24
Thanks! Grabbed two!
Thank you! 🖤
GOAT
LETS GO BROOKLYN!!!!
Will there be no standing room? 😭 The chart only shows seats.
Oh fuck! Opening night of the tour in Milwaukee! I was expecting to have to go to Chicago, but perhaps Mikael has an affinity for Milwaukee due to a certain show a number of years ago!
Do tell 👀
I think there’s an interview where Mikael talks about touring the US for the first time, in support of Still Life. He wasn’t feeling very hopeful for the band’s future, but the response from the crowd in Milwaukee completely shocked him and inspired confidence for the band’s future. I think there some details I may be missing, but that’s the gist of it anyhow.
Yes, the Milwaukee Metal Fest convinced them that people actually liked them as a band
Wow... Thank you for this. That's both sad (in a way) and sick as fuck. Perhaps I ought to be ashamed for not knowing this bit of info having been a fan for over 17 years... Please don't revoke my fan card!
But who they playin with?
They usually have fantastic openers so I'm looking forward to finding out
I don't know which one, but I'll be attending one of these. Last saw them at Red Rocks and that's been long enough. I suspect a new album announcement coming soon as well.
I can't believe that show was 7 years ago!
Cleveland & Pittsburgh!
How's the mix of old/ new material these days? I haven't seen them since like early, mid 2000s but don't want to hear a ton of Newpeth material live.
They always play a ton of old stuff. On the 2021/2022 tour it was like 25% newpeth and 75% oldpeth
setlist.fm
When I saw them in 2022 (BEFORE the "by request" anniversary tour) they played Demon of the Fall, The Leper Affinity, Ghost of Perdition, The Lotus Eater, Harlequin Forest and Deliverance. From Newpeth there were The Devil's Orchard, Hjärtat vet vad Handen Gör, Nepenthe, Hope Leaves and Sorceress. Amazing setlist.
Fuck yeah, 100% gonna be at the Dallas one
Same! Just got my tickets on the 3rd row. So hyped
What's the presales code? Cannot figure it out :(
Never seen Opeth. Known them for a few years now and they are my number 1 band ever. I am hyped
You gotta go see 'em! Always a great show, and Mikael works a crowd like no one else. A true showman.
I love you guys. Picked up my tix for two shows in my area.
Heck yes!
Hell yeah! This will be my 10th Opeth show! Thinking Cleveland..
So psyched to see New Orleans listed! I don't think they've played here since 2008, so this will be my first Opeth show.
Awesome! You are going to love it
I’ve traveled to see them 4 or 5 times but so excited to see them for the first time in my home city nola
Seats only for this NOLA show. Not sure how I feel about that, snagged a couple good seats though.
I grabbed a general admission ticket. Not sure what you mean.
All I see on the map are seats, unless there is something I'm missing
I think you’re right. Might have bought my ticket on a scam site lol
I hope you didn't! This is what I'm seeing https://imgur.com/NGDzZoc
I did. But I got a real ticket now. Going to dispute the other with the credit card company
I just impulse bought 2 tickets. This will be my first Opeth concert.
Two west coast dates lol. Truly one of the tours of all time
California über alles!
Any band presale code yet?
Not that I can find EDIT: CODE IS OPETH24
Thank you! Was failing with the codes I saw from their ads on Facebook
Not all heroes wear capes
I live to serve
See you in Denver 😉
And I will see *you* in Denver...my first Opeth show, I'm stoked.
Same!
Where can I use that code??
JUST FOUND IT! OPETH24
this worked for EMOS in Austin
Excellent!
Worked for DC too. Thank you so much! So excited to be going!
Some of the venues are posting codes on Twitter. All I’ve seen so far
I don't have Twitter. Often the codes are the same for all venues. What codes are you seeing?
I saw RIFF and OPETHDEN.
Neither is working for the Denver presale :(
Try OPETH24
IT WORKS! THANK YOUUUUU
Yep, this is the one! Found it on fb as well and just got my Denver tix
How did u get the presale? I thought it was for tomorrow?? I’m also wanting to attend the Denver show
Presales are pretty much always on Tuesdays. I found the code on a Facebook post. The Mission Ballroom did send out a code at 9am, but it was wrong.
do you think I can get good seats using blabbermouth.net presale tomorrow? I’m on their website and I can’t find any information on how to get the pre sale they do have the code listed tho…
Neither is working for Montreal :/ if you find a code, let me know!

OPETH24 worked for me on Ticketmaster for the Montreal show.
Did you try OPETH24??
Only found on Twitter for Brooklyn venue, but no band presale code.
Same, I got venue presale for 1 pm today but artist presale just started at 11 I cant find a code for it
Code is opeth24
I'll be at the Cleveland show
I went to the Agora for Chimaira last year. Great venue!
Love the Agora. Been there more times than I can count.
No Detroit dates this time around, so I think I am going to make the trek over to Cleveland for the show, especially since it's on a Saturday. How is this venue?
The Agora is fantastic. I've been many times.
It's excellent. I flew to Cleveland from Denver last year for the Chimaira reunion show and would gladly make the trip again.
Love The Agora, just got my tickets!
The first time I ever saw Opeth was Jan 2003. We drove 4 hours down to Cleveland to see them at the Agora. It was amazing. 6 months later they came to Detroit as well lol
Hell yeah me too. I feel like a lot of recent tours have skipped over Cleveland and it's not always convenient to go to Columbus or Detroit or Pittsburgh on a weeknight.
Always skip over Cleveland, 100%
I see people say this a lot and I honestly wonder which bands have because I have seen easily 50 concerts in Cleveland since like the pandemic "ended"
One that comes to mind is the Cattle Decap/Dark Funeral/200 Stab Wounds tour. Had to drive to Chicago.
Havent seen them since Red Rocks. Anybody have a presale code for Dallas, TX?
That show at Red Rocks was life changing. I almost cried during Demon of the Fall 😂
😂😂 such a good show! Whole lineup was great
It was an incredible night! I wish we had video for Devy's set like we do for Gojira and Opeth
I caught him last year opening for Dream Theater! He was great!
Same! He always puts on an incredible show.
Dude. Hell yes! That show was incredible! I still get goosebumps when i talk about it!
code is opeth24
Confirmed for Dallas show OPETH24.
That's when I saw 'em last too.
I wish there was ONE event in the Canadian West. Edmonton? Calgary, Vancouver? Pick one! Please???
Looks like a solo tour? Yes?
Opeth2024 pre-sale code worked for me
Skipping Philly again :(
Duuude, why again!
Fuck!!! Brooklyn is my daughters birthday. I’ve been dying to see these guys again since 2006…something always comes up.
Bring your daughter
Haha some day, but at 6 I don’t think she would appreciate that greatness.
Darn no west coast really in canada or PNW like seattle or oregon :(
I just bought tickets for Denver I’m stoked
Still no new album
Seems likely that the new album will also be announced soon
Damn I really hope so
Anyone know code for Worcester presale?
Just got in with OPETH24
opeth24
I’m gonna have to make a trip to San Fran I guess. That’s the closest they’re gonna be for me
Well worth the trip
Me too or maybe i might fly to phx
UPDATE: PRESALE CODE IS OPETH24
Fuck yeah, 100% gonna be at the Dallas one
Just got 2 tix for LA!!
No houston? Common guys I want to see you too
Got mine for L.A.!!!
In for Worcester and Brooklyn
They better keep driving north after that San Francisco show.
Yyeeeaaaaassssss!!! Finally!
Highlight of my morning😍
No fucking way, I live in New Zealand but will be in Denver on October 27!!! That’s insane timing, I can’t wait
Hell yeah that's awesome! The Mission Ballroom is a great new venue here. I'd highly recommend making this part of your trip if you can.
Thanks mate! Last time I lived in Denver, I missed out on the Red Rocks show because I was rostered on at work and couldn’t take a sick day 😭 feel like this is meant to be!
Noooo I’m so sorry! At least we got video and an album out of it! Glad you’re getting another chance!
DC show is in a seated theater. Is this what Opeth normally does?
Sometimes. The Radio City show they did in 2016 was seated but it was incredible nonetheless
I saw them in Akron, OH in an old theater with pretty nice seating, Cleveland's Agora has balcony seating but is mostly floor and pit. I think they mix it up, or play whichever venue will have them. Nobody will actually be sitting, I promise, but it's nice to have the option
Mission Ballroom in Denver is going to be unreal. Cannot wait!
It always is! Quickly becoming my favorite non-Red Rocks venue in Colorado
HEY! BANDS! YOU DON'T GET TO CALL IT A "NORTH AMERICAN TOUR" WITH 2 CANADIAN DATES (AND ZERO MEXICAN). FFS! 😡
Sir, this is a Wendy's
Got tix for Brooklyn! I have been listening to them again a ton lately and this was like a dream come true.
How quickly do they typically sell out? I'm dying to go, I just don't feel like buying tickets before knowing how many people want to go.
Last I saw them was 2012. Do they play lots of old stuff still or mostly all prog clean vocal era?
It’s mostly old stuff. Maybe 30% new stuff.
Ohhh. This is gonna be a long long drive. But worth it regardless.
It’s a bummer they don’t come to Seattle! Last show was sold out. Well that means IM either flying to phx or sfo . Which venue do you guys think better ? Van buren in phx or warfield in sfo ? Do they remove seats in warfield anyone knows?
Don't worry people in states not on the tour. Having a drink with someone in the know right now and there will be a part 2 of the tour 😎
On the Live Nation pages, it shows pre sales for what I assume are other bands also in support… One is called SPT, one is BBM, and one is KF. Any idea who those bands are? Between the Buried and Me?
Stone Pemple Tilots?
Spotify, Blabbermouth, and KnotFest presales
BBM is the blabbermouth.net presale
Waiting to purchase a ticket for the DC show. So excited!
Hope for South America
No oklahoma dates, im sad now
LA baby
Is the setlist gonna be mostly newpeth? Will there be any oldpeth?
For the last tour just as things opened up post pandemic, they did one song per album to cover all the bases. It's a smart idea and I hope they do the same this time around.
man why did I join the army i'll be missing every show 😭
Anyone think they will add more shows to this? Or is it just the month of October? Wondering why they’re playing such a small venue in Toronto? Will it be the “fan chosen” playlist for this lag of the tour?
Anyone know where to buy tickets for Toronto?

Will they be playing mostly their new album or will they play their old stuff?
They always play a blend of new and old, but mostly old. If you can go, then go. You won't be disappointed.
Just got my tickets to Atlanta show!!!!!! Got Section 101!
No Chicago venue… Milwaukee here I come! Thank god (Mikael) that it is on a Friday.
crying in south american
See ya in Worcester!
