r/Opeth

My mom has fallen seriously ill and I can no longer attend the Opeth/Katatonia/Candlemass concert in Dalhalla, Sweden on August 29.

Selling two seats on row 16, just behind the standing/flat area, right in the center of the stage. Doubt you could see much better than that.

I have them up for retail price here: https://www.ticketswap.se/listing/opeth/21602234/7a92c42eb2

It is what it is. sigh

As 2026 heads into its final few months, Opeth only has a handful of live dates left on their calendar. They'll be live in Sweden on Aug. 29th, before playing two dates in India on Oct. 3rd and 4th. After that, they'll wrap up touring festivities with a brief run through South America with stops in Chile on Nov. 1st, Argentina on Nov. 3rd, Brazil on Nov. 6th, Colombia on Nov. 8th and lastly, a date in Cuidad, Mexico on Nov. 11th.

With 2027 not expected to see the release of any new music (though never say never), and Mikael working on personal project stuff, is 2027 perhaps going to be an off year for the band, as far as live shows go? I imagine there will be writing & a little recording for a possible 2028 record + tour, but I'm curious what others think :)

For me, in the song "The amen corner" at 19 seconds in, it goes from those evil doomy riffs, to that totally genius "acoustic change" for a few seconds.

That change is so brutally unexpected and it makes it sound so god damn evil.

When i hear that part, i can imagine like a demon appearing right behind you, then disappears again right when the guitars continue.

This is not new to me at all but just got reminded about it again how good that is. Dare i say an underrated detail, in maybe a underrated song.

Any parts, or details in a song that makes a big difference, in a similar way like this, that you feel strongly about?

first language is not english. but lately i became friends with someone who is so obsessed with opeth (i never knew about them before). therefore for their birthday gift i thought of painting them the opeth logo alongside with some other gifts . im using a 20*20 canva and the O is so hard to draw. did anybody do this before ?? and do you think this is a good gift to begin with?? thanks!!
