Sleep Token has put an end to rumors of their disbandment by announcing a North American tour set for early 2024 on Instagram.
They said the following in their post:
“This April and May, North America shall gather in Worship once again, alongside special guests Empire State Bastard. Those wishing to attend may register their interest at teethofgod.com to obtain their unique access code, in preparation for the exclusive presale window – which begins Wednesday at 10 am local time. Prepare.”
Social Media Blackout Sparks Concerns
Before the tour announcement, Sleep Token had completely wiped their Instagram, leaving only a mysterious message in their bio: ‘Nothing lasts forever.’ This move, coupled with a recent privacy breach involving a band member known as III, whose birth certificate was reportedly leaked online, led to much speculation about the band’s future.
Fans have been vocal on platforms like Reddit, expressing their distress, theories, and frustration over the band’s actions. While some fans were worried, others saw this as a strategic marketing tactic or a transition to a new artistic era, especially since Sleep Token’s last album, ‘Take Me Back to Eden,’ was released just last year. One fan wrote:
“People take things way too seriously. The band is a business. This is a marketing tactic. Everybody does this. Sleep Token is cryptic, but it’s part of the act, and it’s fun and great, but all this is for is to create manufactured hysteria. It will be fine, y’all.”
Their Song Post And Upcoming Tour Dates
The band didn’t comment on these rumors. A day later, they then posted a link to their song ‘Ascensionism’ from their 2023 album, ‘Take Me Back to Eden,’ leading fans to speculate about the meaning behind the lyrics and the band’s actions.
Sleep Token is set to tour Australia in April, with a final show on April 21. Then, their North American tour will start on April 27 in Las Vegas and end on May 28 in Toronto.
