While She Sleeps at O2 Academy Bristol 5th February 2018
Posted on: 23 Oct 2017While She Sleeps announce headline UK shows and tickets go on sale on Friday 27th October for the show at Bristol’s O2 Academy on the 5th February 2018.
The metalcore band from Sheffield first came into acclaim in 2010, with their debut EP The North Stands For Nothing. In the years that followed, they went on to support the likes of fellow metal titans Bring Me the Horizon, as they continued to work on their next studio album This Is the Six which saw the band win the Kerrang! Award for Best British Newcomer. The band have since released two more albums - the latest one being You Are We which came out this year.
While She Sleeps’ musical history has been nothing short of spectacular and 2018 is shaping up to be another monumental year for the band as they announce a clutch of UK headline shows in February of 2018 with tickets on sale this week. The dates - in Bristol, Birmingham, Glasgow and Manchester - will follow a sure-to-be epic gig at London’s Alexandra Palace where the band are main support to Architects on 3rd February.
While She Sleeps will also be supporting Architects across Europe in Jan/Feb and they’re set to round off this year with a mammoth tour supporting Trivium in the USA, followed by a special hometown headline show at the o2 Academy in Sheffield on 8th December.
2017 has seen While She Sleeps play shows in countries as far flung as Australia and China, as well as a large score of sellout shows on home soil. They’ve been bringing some serious fire to some big festival sets, headlining The Pit at Reading & Leeds and slaying the likes of Hellfest in France and Graspop in Belgium. Recently, they even played a special stripped down “Sleeps Brothers” set in a church of all places. The band’s latest album ‘You Are We’ was released direct from the band to their loyal fans in April, as While She Sleeps truly took control of their own destiny. It was a move that paid off as the record charted in the Top Ten of the UK album charts and has received a plethora of accolades to date.
Expect a stellar show full of thick bass tones, fast drumming, screamed vocals and heavy guitar.
The O2 Academy is located on 1 Frogmore St, Bristol BS1 5NA
