OPETH TRIUMPHANT AUSTRALIAN & NEW ZEALAND RETURN
Swedish rock legends OPETH are excited to announce a headline tour in
Australia and New Zealand set for November 2025.
After 6 long years wait, Swedish progressive metal titans Opeth will visit Australia and New Zealand in November 2025 for 7 absolutely massive concerts.
The Nov ’25 tour promises to be groundbreaking, featuring 2 hour plus sets including landmark masterpieces and songs from Opeth’s darkest and heaviest album in decades – the critically acclaimed opus, The last WILL and TESTAMENT.
“The band’s sound was immaculate; their performance was the best gig of the year.” – Get Ready To Rock
OPETH are offering a special bundle for fans who pre-order the album The last WILL and TESTAMENT, which is due for release on November 22, 2024. Fans who pre-order the album before Wednesday 13th November 2024 will receive a special ticket presale code for the tour!

“Opeth’s set was characterised by their signature blend of death metal and progressive rock, a style they’ve honed since their formation. Their performance was not just a showcase of technical skill but also a testament to their ability to create a deep, diverse sonic experience… further solidifying their legacy as one of the most innovative and influential bands in heavy music.” Metal Junkbox
OPETH’s 14th studio album, The last WILL and TESTAMENT, is set for release on November 22, 2024 via Moderbolaget / Reigning Phoenix Music. It is 5 long years since their last album – 2019’s In Cauda Venenum – and also marks 30 years of the esteemed, creative band.
Opeth vocalist/guitarist Mikael Åkerfeldt admits “I love this record. I have to say it. Maybe I’m proud even? There are some familiar ingredients in there I suppose. Most of our music has sprung from the same source, so I guess it’s not much of a shocker if it’s going to sound like ‘us’. I’m a bit in awe of what we did with “The last WILL and TESTAMENT”. It feels like a dream. There is some ‘coherence’ and ‘songwriting skills’ I hope, but what do I know? I tend to favour the ‘strange’ over the ‘obvious’ but I feel like I’m in the minority, and that’s fine. So…fair warning! Don’t expect an instant rush (as per usual), but if you do “get it” (have you got it yet?) right away, that’s ok too!”
The last WILL and TESTAMENT is a concept album set in the post-World War I era, unfolding the story of a wealthy, conservative patriarch whose last will and testament reveals shocking family secrets. The narrative weaves through the patriarch confessions, the reactions of his twin children, and the mysterious presence of a polio-ridden girl who the family have taken care of. The album begins with the reading of the father’s will in his mansion. Among those in attendance is a young girl, who, despite being an orphan and polio-ridden, has been raised by the family. Her presence at the will reading raises suspicions and questions among the twins.
“The band’s sound was immaculate; their performance was the best gig of the year… the crowd showed their appreciation by screaming their lungs out for more.” Get Ready To Rock
“…hitting both soothing, meandering prog pieces and furious death metal with equal aplomb.” Antihero Mag
The Last WILL and TESTAMENT is gripping from start to finish, jaw-dropping inside and out, representing some of Opeth’s finest material to date.
“This performance ranks amongst the very best. Opeth are still one of the most compelling bands around.” The Razors Edge
