STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN – Swedish progressive metal titan, Katatonia, has announced dates for a headlining European run, to kick off this spring. The “New Night Over Europe” tour will begin in Germany on March 3rd, and will hit over 30 cities, spanning across 14 countries, before wrapping up in early April. More details will be released in the coming weeks.

The “New Night Over Europe” tour is Katatonia’s first tour in support of their eighth studio album, Night is the New Day, which released last month on Peaceville Records. The new record debuted in the US at #35 on the Billboard Indie Chart, doubling the first week sales of their highly acclaimed 2006 release, The Great Cold Distance.
