This was one of the best nights of my life! The performance and presence of the band was stunning with some funny moments and I was impressed all over again with just how talented they are.
I was particularly enraptured by Vessel who genuinely stunned me with his beautiful singing voice for a solid 10 minutes… videos and even studio recordings can’t capture how enchanting his voice is.

This collective...
It was my second Ritual, first time being so close to the barricade. Everything on this tour is close to perfection. Be prepared for the ocean of emotion.
The best crowd energy ever, a completely improvised "show your cat/pet flashmob" was formed.
The chronological setlist enhanced the feeling of an era coming to a close. Sleep Token always tells us, nothing lasts forever...
Bilmuri as support act is a perfect fit.

Sleep token are absolutely amazing live. I was seated and apart from the rubbish seats (last minute tickets) it was a spiritual ritual. Even from so far away you can feel their energy they radiate. Venue was okay apart from sitting in the front on a corner and my view was blocked from the railings. Didn’t want to stand and obstruct others view. Staff were helpful and kind. I have massive anxiety and don’t leave the house much but once they were on all was forgotten that’s how good they are 🖤

Epic show & experience.
Was surprised no large screens / as I was far away couldn’t really see a whole lot, but didn’t really need to with the music and lights.
Annoyed at how the London t shirt was sold out even an hour before the doors opened... Led me to find the pop up store though which was really cool.

In fact, at the end of the concert, I was thinking that I would never stand in the third row again if other people realized how brilliant what they were doing was. It was an indescribable and unforgettable experience. Days later I'm still under the influence. I am grateful to have lived and stood there at the same time as them.

Sleep Token's Nuremberg concert was nothing short of mesmerizing. From the moment the lights dimmed, a palpable sense of anticipation filled the air. The band’s immersive atmosphere, with its striking blend of dark, haunting melodies and powerful crescendos, left the audience in a trance-like state.
The setlist was a masterclass in dynamics—flawlessly moving between ethereal ballads and thunderous, full-bodied anthems. "The Summoning" sent waves of energy through the crowd, while "Alkaline" had everyone singing along, utterly captivated by the hauntingly beautiful vocals. Sleep Token's ability to shift between soft, delicate moments and explosive intensity kept the audience engaged from start to finish.
Visually, the production was breathtaking. The lights, projections, and overall stage design perfectly complemented the band's mystique, with dramatic lighting accentuating the emotive power of each song. The anonymity of the band's members only added to the sense of mystery, making every moment feel like an otherworldly experience.
The chemistry between the band and the audience was electric, with Sleep Token's enigmatic frontman engaging deeply with the crowd, creating an intimate atmosphere despite the grandeur of the venue. Every song felt personal, every moment shared between performer and listener.
It’s clear that Sleep Token has evolved into something truly unique in the live music world, and their Nuremberg performance was a testament to their artistry and ability to connect with their fans on a deep, emotional level. For anyone who was there, it was an unforgettable experience—a perfect blend of beauty, intensity, and mystery.

Un concert exceptionnel. Le chanteur, Vessel, a une voix magnifique qui rend les chansons encore meilleures en live. Le show était d'une grande qualité avec ses effets de lumière et ses jeux de scène. Malgré l'absence de paroles entre les morceaux, la communion avec le public était présente. Le batteur est vraiment doué. Dommage qu'il manquait le guitariste, mais contente du retour du bassiste. La sensibilité à fleur de peau de Vessel à la fin du concert était tellement touchante. Et la vague de lumière verte des spectateurs sur la dernière chanson faisait plaisir à voir. J'espère revoir ce groupe génialissime en France.

Thank you so much for adding this date in France! You were incredibly amazing. You got me during Missing Limbs. Thank you for this offering, this night. I lived. You are so loved. Please, keep going. Never take the mask off. You're not just Vessel, II, III or IV. You are REALLY you on stage with these masks and it's so beautiful to see.
Lyon, France@LDLC Arena
The ritual in Zürich was really so amazing it was just really sad that IV and III where sick (and still are I think) so I really hope they feel better soon🖤 but vessel II and the three background girls did really amazing and they really tried there best I really enjoyed it so much so thank you for this amazing evening🖤
Zürich, Switzerland@Halle 622
Trotz der Bemühungen der 5 Musiker auf der Bühne (Voice, 3 Backgroundsängerinnen und dem Drummer) ein komplettes Set abzulieferen, blieb das Konzert von einer distanzierten, fast frostigen Atmosphäre geprägt. Drei Bandmitglieder waren krank, wodurch ein wirkliches Bandgefühl fehlte. Die ohnehin stark elektronische Musik verstärkte diesen Eindruck; kühl und präzise, ohne wärmende Emotionalität. Der abrupte Wechsel zwischen intensiven Noise-Elementen, zarten Piano-Passagen und harten Jungle-Drums liess die Stimmung wechselhaft und unnahbar erscheinen. Dennoch ist klar, warum diese Art Musik Fans hat: Sie vereint alles, was aktuell im Trend liegt, mit einem hypermodernen Sound. Es erinnert alles ein wenig auch an Retro wie Depeche Mode und Devo aber dann doch wieder aufgepeppt für ein 2024 TikTok Publikum. Es fehlen die Refrains, die einem im Kopf bleiben und der Hexenmeister Tanz von Vessel, wie sich der Sänger nennt wirkt oft auch irgendwie unbeholfen.
Das Publikum wirkte wie immer höflich und eher zurückhaltend, ein Kontrast zur oft unnahbaren Musik. Auffällig war die grosse Zahl an weiblichen Fans, die trotz der Anonymität des Sängers eine spürbare Bewunderung für ihn zeigten die fast schon ins extatisch religiöse verlief.
Muss dazu aber auch angemerkt werden, dass die Halle 622 wohl einer der unakttraktivsten Venues ist in Gesamt Zürich.

The visuals/lighting was absolutely gorgeous, the music was even better! It was one of the best concerts I’ve been to, even without knowing all the songs on the setlist. Intimate venue, even in the 300’s could see everything well, the acoustics only enhanced the experience. All of us left the show in awe, I cannot wait for them to come back!
Toronto, ON@Massey Hall
What is there to say? The show, the performance, the lights, the energy from the band, particularly Vessel was excellent! I could honestly say that it’s the best show that I’ve been to in years and I’ve been to a few festivals and shows the last few years. Congrats, to the band; you have created a monster.
Chicago, IL@The Salt Shed
This was my first time seeing Sleep Token!! I drove 2 in an half hours to worship. The show, the lights, the Sleep Token- was perfect. The venue was nice- however, the standing room was over crowded. I’m short and spent a lot of time trying to see between tall shoulder bros, but I do not feel defeated. I will absolutely be seeing Sleep Token again when the opportunity arises. Love you guys- thank you for this experience.
Waukee, IA@Vibrant Music Hall
It was worth it's weight in gold! Sleep Token, what more could you possibly say. Vessel's vocal range, even live, is unmatched. The energy of II, III, & IV was amazing, the production was perfect for them, and the performance was something that will stick with me forever. I will definitely be seeing them again when they come back around! Still awestruck a day later!
Waukee, IA@Vibrant Music Hall
This was the PERFECT venue for the bois! No matter where you were, you had an amazing view of the stage and the laser show. Luckily, we drove several hours without traffic, bad weather or parking issues. In fact, we were able to park fairly close. It was my first time at this venue AND seeing Sleep Token. I hope if/when they come back to the SE that they play here again. Definitely a great place for a concert!
Asheville, NC@Harrah's Cherokee Center
Even though Vessel lost his voice midway through the gig, the fact that thousands of audience members were singing along through the set was emotional and cathartic.
The whole evening, for me, was filled with great memories and a sense that Sleep Token is more than just a band, they are an enigma and a beacon of hope for a world that just doesn't care. A place where emotions can be set free and a point in time where energy is at a spiritual level. This is a band that I can proudly say I worship.
London, United Kingdom@OVO Arena Wembley
Great performance!! The Lightshow was absolutely out of this world - the best I’ve ever seen! The choir was a bit quiet in the mix and the bassdrum a bit over compressed but otherwise great sound. Bassist III unfortunately was absent. The hall was completely packed. I was about 1/3 of the length of the hall from the stage in front of a column and at times it got uncomfortable with all the people around pressing against each other…
Cologne, Germany@Palladium Cologne
Met some awesome people and thought about the whole time. And I sang, because the entire venue sang. It was an experience in connection because there were people there all over the spectrum and they were nice, helpful and just the best fan experience I've had. Sleep Token brought the people to be as one and for that, I would go 1000 times and never get tired of it.
Portland, OR@Roseland Theater
The concert itself was amazing! The stage presence and energy of the band was palpable and the crowd felt every word that was sung. The amount and demeanor of people however was nuts and disappointing. It really needed to be a bigger venue, but The Factory did the best with what they had, so I can't be mad at em!

Although Sleep Token played a beautiful set and were perfect as always, the o2 Bristol MUST have sold over ticket capacity as I have been for gigs there for the past 16 years and have never felt as unsafe and claustrophobic as I felt during this. There was NO room to move within the entire venue, even to access the toilet or the bar, even at the back or sides of the room. Every person around me was frustrated and actually feared being crushed. Completely distracted from being able to enjoy the music and experience when you are concerned at having space around you to BREATHE. I had to cross my arms in front of my chest to create an inch of space. Dangerous should a fire or anything have happened. This should be looked into from a safety point of view.
