Swallow the Sun will close the summer in Finland with one final highlight: on August 28^th they take the stage at Helsinki Festival to mark their 25th anniversary with a unique performance – “Between Two Worlds – 25^th Anniversary Show”. For one night only, Huvila will turn into a temple of darkness and light, where the band’s heaviest shadows and brightest melodies collide in a way rarely witnessed live.

On September 19^th and 20^th, the band will take the stage in Japan in support of My Dying Bride. The Shining headline campaign continues later in the UK. As well as their first Australian Tour starting January 17^th. All shows can be found here: http://swallowthesun.net/tour

More than two decades of despair, beauty, and heartache have not only shaped but fueled Finnish melancholy torchbearers, the chart-topping and Finnish Grammy winner Swallow The Sun. Formed in Jyväskylä in 2000, the quintet has enjoyed numerous fan-lauded music videos (10+ million YouTube views) and streaming dominance (50+ million Spotify plays), while also embarking on a four-continent, 900-show run over the course of their 25-year career. Their new music, however, is the group’s first step on the new path to the unknown.
