After more than three decades at the forefront of progressive metal, Swedish icons Opeth are bringing their monumental live experience to Italy for two exclusive summer dates in 2026.
Following the announcement of select appearances across Europe (Halifax-UK, Dublin-Ireland, Rättvik-Sweden), these Italian shows promise to be among the most striking moments of Opeth’s upcoming tour cycle, set against two evocative Italian backdrops. From the ancient ruins of Pompei’s Anfiteatro Degli Scavi to the open-air stage of Bologna‘s green, vibrant Parco delle Caserme Rosse, home to the acclaimed Sequoie Music Park, fans can expect an immersive performance that spans Opeth’s storied catalogue, from timeless classics to selections from their latest album “The Last Will and Testament”.
Recent winners of the Swedish Grammy Award 2025, Opeth continue to redefine the boundaries of progressive music with their trademark blend of darkness, beauty, and technical mastery. Each performance is a journey and these Italian dates are set to be nothing short of extraordinary.
Joining them as special guests will be the acclaimed cosmic death metal visionaries Blood Incantation from Denver, Colorado, making this a night of unparalleled atmosphere and musical transcendence.
Tickets go on sale Monday, November 10 at 11:00 AM CET.
