Opeth at The Fillmore

The Swedish progressive metallers, OPETH, will embark on a North American tour this fall. The trek, which will kick off on October 11 in Milwaukee, includes stops in New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, New Orleans, Austin, Denver and more, including one night here in New Orleans, Louisiana, on Wednesday 23rd October 2024.

On the new album, The Last Will & Testament, lead singer Mikael Åkerfeldt talks about why the screams are back; Why now?
"Well, exactly. And that's always the question. Before, people were like, 'Why not do the screams?' And now it's like, 'Why do the screams?' You can't win! But also: why not? The new album, it's a concept record that, I think, would benefit from that type of vocal."

Opeth have also turned heads on the alternative rock scene with the release of their latest single, and we have seen them dominating the charts since. Critics were unsure what to make of their unique style, but they consistently deliver and build on both their lyrics and their melodies. And to top it off, you’ll also love them for their memorable music videos – so see all of this artistic genius play out in front of your very eyes.

You’ll immerse yourself in all the rebellious hits as Opeth have the venue hopping, along with shaking things up. Known for their show-stopping stage presence, Opeth are never afraid to interact with the audience – so throw on your finest outfits and prepare to be amazed.

The Fillmore is the perfect setting to welcome Opeth, complete with a stage that lends itself to their live stage performance and thundering sounds. If you’re not taken by the music, you’ll be captivated by the visual spectacle, led by the singer paired with their drummer. That’s not forgetting that iconic guitar riffs, of course – mix it all up and here comes an alternative rock spectacle.

After a high-energy night, be sure to refuel in the concessions or explore the local delights afterwards. Pore over your photos with your friends as you reminisce about your favorite songs. You can even make a trip of it with the range of hotels in the nearby area.
