Prepare to dissolve into the otherworldly once more—Sleep Token is back with their fourth offering, Even In Arcadia, set to drop on May 9 under their new home at RCA Records. Following the haunting brilliance of Take Me Back To Eden, this enigmatic collective continues to blur the lines between sound and emotion, crafting a journey that feels both deeply human and eerily transcendent. For fans who’ve followed their masked ascent since their 2016 formation in London, this next chapter promises to deepen the mystique and sonic exploration that have made Sleep Token a phenomenon.
The announcement comes with preorders now live for Even In Arcadia, alongside a tantalizing seven-inch vinyl single variant of “Emergence.” It’s a collector’s dream and a tease of what’s to come—Sleep Token’s signature fusion of heavy riffs, ethereal melodies, and raw vulnerability. But the excitement doesn’t stop at the album. The band is bringing their live ritual stateside with the “Even In Arcadia” tour, their only headline run of 2025 and an exclusive U.S. affair. Kicking off September 16 in Duluth, Georgia, and wrapping October 11 in Los Angeles, the 17-city trek—promoted by AEG Presents—includes massive venues like Barclays Center and Crypto.com Arena, plus a stop at Louisville’s Louder Than Life festival on September 19. Tickets hit the general public on March 21 at 10 a.m. local time, but don’t sleep on it—these are bound to vanish fast.
Sleep Token’s commitment to their fans shines through in their ticketing strategy. To combat scalpers, they’ve partnered with Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange, ensuring fans can resell tickets at the original price if plans change. Most shows will feature mobile-only, non-transferable tickets to keep the system fair—though New York, Illinois, Colorado, and Utah fans will see unrestricted resale due to local laws. The band’s plea? Keep it honest and sell at face value. It’s a rare move that underscores their devotion to the community they’ve built.
For the uninitiated, Sleep Token remains a shadowy enigma. Cloaked in anonymity, their members—led by the pseudonymous Vessel and II—channel a sound that’s as unpredictable as their masked personas. From crushing metalcore to delicate piano interludes, their discography defies genre, pulling listeners into a narrative that’s as much felt as heard. Even In Arcadia promises to push that boundary further, and with a tour to match, 2025 is shaping up to be Sleep Token’s most immersive chapter yet. Whether you’re a longtime devotee or a curious newcomer, this is one ritual you won’t want to miss.
