i think they were originally gonna tour late last year, november i think it was... but then they went on that tour to wherever it was with whoever the other band was (i forget!) and australia got postponed and it was said that it'd probably happen around feb this year, but i wouldnt hold your breathe, they might come but i dont know if theres any real solid plans yet.

When/if they come out, they will most likely be completely sold out.

thanks YaYoGakk and sullen Jester for your replies......i won't hold my breath on opeth coming to australia...as i have heard these rumors a few times now...and seem to always be let down with reality......but there is always hope

We can only dream

SHIFT YER ARSES, OPETH!!!

 

[Kushantaiidan]

Can someone please explain why they aren't in my house right now?

I wonder if they'd enjoy a LAN party?

Do they play CS or starcraft?

They'd have deep voices..

 

[Ice Queen]

I will travel to every show in every state if they tour down here. (And I've done it before!)

I don't know why, but this brings a conversation with Orchid or Hearse (one of them) to mind..

Being an impressive rockstar, thus being elevated above us, we'd never assume that Mikael is "that guy who was kicking our arses in CS last week".. and the phrase least expected to be omitted from his room:

"Freaking bot! AWP never misses! $#!+"

I heard they were going to do a couple of dates in Australia when
they toured Japan. I think it was supposed to happen in February.
Good luck, they're awesome live.

Or maybe they use cheats... like everyone else that plays CS. I turn the corner and die instantly from a headshot with a DE from 50 meters away. That's why I stopped playing, half of everyone cheated

I've been holding my breath since they said it'd be postponed till early next (this) year, and to keep an eye on the news section at opeth.com for updates. This is probably why the screen goes blurry every now and again, and then I wake up on front of the computer and realie I've passed out (again).

P.S. I have since learned to breath through my skin, like insects, while constantly refreshing the opeth.com site...... and hoping.

 

[crumbling mirth]

goddamn i'd love to see opeth live.
at present they seem to be pretty busy with other plans.
but patience may reward us.

 

[RETIREDTrapped]

They had BETTER come to brisbane and play Festival Hall while it's still standing.

I'll be pissed off if they only play Sydney and Melbourne....

 

[dittohead]

When they come to oz, i wonder if theyll come to Perth. I was annoyed that Slayer didnt come to Perth the last two times they toured oz.

 

[Sullen Jester]

They'll probably do the "Australian tour" which is playing in every state capital once, with the exception of Sydney which they would do twice. Too many bands do that. There ARE better places than the capitals

 

[Ice Queen]

I can see them playing one (or more) small shows in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. Maybe Adelaide. Don't know about Perth, the only bands to really go to Perth are of Slipknot status (sorry to use that word here). Airfares are cheap for anyone who misses out.
I hope they are coming, anyway!

 

[crumbling mirth]

i recall them saying they planned to do 4-5 shows in australia.
that would perhaps mean shows in sydney, melbourne, brisbane, and canberra/adelaide
