HEADLINER ANNOUNCEMENT 📢
Your Uprising headliners are KATATONIA!
With the seventh installment already full with some big names in Metal and Alternative music, Uprising is thrilled to announce the headliner for Uprising 7. Closing the day on Saturday 25th May will be Melancholic Swedish Metallers, Katatonia.
Spanning a thirty year career and eleven studio albums, Katatonia are a band who do not shy away from evolution. Gathering praise in the nineties for their unique Gothic-tinged Doom Metal sound, the band released the genre bending debut, Dance of December Souls (1993) followed by another 9 studio albums and several EPs. After a brief hiatus, the band came back stronger than ever in 2020 with their album ‘City Burials’, a fresh take on the band's legacy. Skip forwards three years and the band have now released their new album ‘Sky Void Of Stars’.
With an ever growing fanbase and a huge back catalogue , Uprising are thrilled to host Katatonia's brand of Doom & Gloom.
The band commented, "Looking forward to a swift return to the UK in May 2024, playing Leicester Uprising! Don’t miss out!"

I finally got to see Katatonia and loved every second of their set. They played music from their whole catalogue, and some things that had never been played live before (Decima). I love this band and hope that they keep soldiering on for a good long while. Such talent.

Katatonia Biography
“In days and nights of black and silver, the dead end king will come. From pieces of broken mirrors there will be a crown bestowed upon his head. In reflections of shattered glass not only the seasons will turn, but also the change disguised by the lapse of time. His mind will have to come to bear the weight of everything that was left behind and forgotten. Archiving the inaccessible. Celebrating the abandoned and mourning the destroyed. The city burials.” (Anders Nyström, Katatonia)
