Australia
I know Opeth have toured Australia for the last few years with sold out shows every time, but please.... someone tell me they are coming again? Due to unforseen circumstances I could not make it to either gig and it was so very disappointing, and I am really hoping, probably along with sooo many others that they will be back, soon.
 
SMiM, the gig guide himself! If anyone knows who is coming, its this guy!

Well, I hope Opeth tours again! I am sure that they will tour some time next year. It'll be 2 years since they last came here by then.

I suppose the earliest we can hope for is some time next year, after they've done their 5th consecutive US tour. I don't see why they wouldn't come though - there is a fairly substantial fanbase here.
 
Well it would be nice if they did it before march (but i dont see that happening). Because cheep flights out of Dunedin are going to stop, which would mean I would ahve to drive to ChCh again.

Make the trip if ya can, I did it last time and it was the best concert Ive ever seen. Everyone was real friendly and happy, plus its warmer than NZ. Ive got enough for a plane ticket (just waiting for the dates) so depending on work looks like Ill make it back over next time they tour.

I would like to meet moonie this time (and anyone else from the board who wants to meet me). I would be nice to see some other kiwi's there too.
 
I agree, they need to go that extra distance and come to NZ this time around, so many fans here..

On a sort of related note, we have the largest amount of tool fans here in the world per head of population and I reckon tool fans are the sort of people (generally) who would also enjoy Opeth so it makes sense to come here exposure-wise as well.......
 
I only joined the other day after months of lurking hahaha. Now I can have a say about things ;)

Whoa, I would find that gig awesome. My two favourite bands in the one venue. Gosh, a dream come true!

Haha, yes, bands see USA as the holy land! Anyway, they will tour Australia, just be patient.

They see the USA as the $ land :-). And perhaps the fact that the USA has a population of nearly 300,000,000 and Aus has 20,000,000.
 
Hey everyone, im a new listener to Opeth, only been aware of the magic for 6 months or so and im wondering whether anyone knows of any opeth tours of australia anytime soon? also, do opeth usually perform underage shows? if they dont, fake ID it is then :rock:
