Sleep Token, a rising star shrouded in mystery, returns to the Czech Republic! He will perform at the O2 universe
April 29, 2024
After last year’s very successful domestic concert premiere at the Rock for People festival and a month later a sold-out solo concert in Prague’s ARCHA+ (formerly Archa Theatre), the Sleep Token phenomenon returns to the Czech Republic. They will play their biggest Czech concert to date on November 15 in Prague’s O2 universe as part of the Rock for People Concerts concert series. Ticket sales will start on Friday, May 3 from 10:00 a.m. on the Ticketmaster and Ticketportal networks. All information at www.rockforpeople.cz.
Enigmatic UK band Sleep Token combine post-rock, post-classical and post-metal elements with soulful indie pop vocals into a mix that sounds like nothing else. In 2019 they released their innovative debut album “Sundowning” and two years later achieved mainstream success with the UK chart topper “This Place Will Become Your Tomb”. In 2023, the anonymous masked collective presented their third full-length effort “Take Me Back to Eden”. The album quickly became an international success, breaking into the upper reaches of the charts in several countries.
Songs „Chokehold“, „The Summoning“, “Royal Water”, „Granite“ a “were” collected over 85 million streams together, while the distinctive single „The Summoning“ generated approximately 38.8 million streams on Twitter alone, causing the song to trend on Twitter and top a number of international viral charts on Spotify. She has also been selected as a “YouTube Trending Artist On The Rise” featured on YouTube’s homepage, watched by millions every day. At the same time, pop star Demi Lovato, for example, is sharing Sleep Token music with her 153 million followers on Instagram. In short, Sleep Token is constantly breaking the boundaries that they refused to admit in the first place.
And although Sleep Token doesn’t talk to journalists as a matter of principle (out of necessity, not because of ego), the media can’t help themselves, they write about this phenomenon and inform about every step of the band. NME magazine notes: “Sleep Token offers their fans a whole world to immerse themselves in if they so desire. It’s a place of escape and the basis of a huge fan community dedicated to studying the band’s work. While they have the same fervor as any other fan base, there is one notable difference.” Elsewhere, Metal Hammer magazine named them as “Most interesting metal band today” and Revolver magazine awarded them both ‘Artist Of’ and ‘Album Of’ 2023.
