Sunn O))) Announces U.K. Tour Dates

SUNN O))) has announced their first U.K. tour in three years, including a return to the north of England. In support of the "Monoliths & Dimensions" album, the lineup on stage will be Anderson and O’Malley, Attila Csihar and Steve Moore (Stebmo). Sunn O))) will be joined for two dates by Swedish electronics guru BJ Nilsen performing a special “Storms” set, and a pair of concerts with psychedelic mantra outfit OM. Sunn O))) will also perform two nights at the legendary ATP festival, honorably invited by the ATP staff themselves to celebrate the 10th year of the fest. As a special set, Sunn O))) will be performing as a duo (Shoshin), in addition to the quartet.

In related news, the Gravetemple trio (O’Malley, Csihar and Oren Ambarchi) will be headlining a special, rare one off date at London’s ICA in November with an entirely brand new set of experimental drone and doom.
