Atreyu Announces Last Show Of The Year, Working On New Album

Fresh off a main stage appearance at this weekend's Knotfest in Southern California after returning from hiatus and performing a warm-up show at the Chain Reaction in Anaheim, Atreyu will play a headlining hometown gig at The Observatory in Santa Ana, California. The show will take place on December 20th and will be the band's final live appearance of the year.

"It has been far too long since we did a proper, full-scale headlining show at home," said singer Alex Varkatzas. "We are rehearsing and pumped up to play this legendary OC venue that we have all attended so many shows at over the years."

"Chain Reaction was the appetizer," echoed drummer Brandon Saller. "This is the main course. The Observatory is, bar none, the best venue in Orange County. We're exited to rip the roof off of it."

The band is writing and demoing for a forthcoming album, the first since 2009's "Congregation of the Damned." Stay tuned for further details.
