Dark Tranquillity Book 46-Date 2021 North American Tour With Obscura + Nailed to Obscurity
Sweden's melodic death metal masters Dark Tranquillity have just announced a massive 2021 North American tour alongside Obscura and Nailed to Obscurity. The trek will take place in the fall and totals an eye-popping 46 stops in just 49 days.
The trek will be in support of Dark Tranquillity's 12th album, Moment, which will be released on Nov. 20 and was lead by the single "Phantom Days."
Looking ahead, the headlining group remained cautious of the touring environment surrounding the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, stating, "It's hard to even imagine this happening, but I really hope so and it's going to be very, very awesome. It's been a while and it will be a while still, but we're coming back to America. Obscura and Nailed to Obscurity will be with us and we cannot wait to hit the stages with these awesome bands and see you all again. Let's make sure things get back to normal and that this can happen. We miss you and cannot wait to get to share our music with you again."
