The concert will be held at the Uppsala Konsert & Kongress hall, which for this occasion will be, in WATAIN's own words, turned into a temple of Black Metal Magic.
The event will be a one-of-a-kind show, with a unique stage design, material that has never been played live before, and will also feature other performances, exhibitions and some surprises: further details are yet to be unveiled in the coming days and we will be updating this post as they become known - meanwhile, the tickets will go on sale on Friday, September 8th at 10.00 CET - grab yours if you have the chance to go, because it will surely be unforgettable!
WATAIN has described this special show with this official statement:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the time has finally come for us to announce our return to our hometown Uppsala. On Friday November 3rd we will turn the giant concert hall of UKK into a temple of Black Metal Magic, in honor of our 25th anniversary as Watain. We invite you all to this ceremonial night where many things will take place on our stage for the first, and perhaps even the last, time. In the coming weeks we will reveal more information about what will go down, but for now, make your arrangements and be ready to get your tickets when they are released on Friday September 8th at 10.00 CET."
With such premises and with so many years of powerful music to celebrate, this is something which any WATAIN listener - but also appreciators of Black metal and dark arts in general, will definitely not want to miss!
