News: The Awakening announce more tour dates

There is much excitement in the Nyte household as they prepare for The Awakening’s Dark Carnival Tour (UK), which starts next week! This is the first full headline tour they have done in the UK, and it promises to be a good one! While they visited London and Leeds last year, this tour will not only see them traversing many more cities but will also feature a new show.

The Dark Carnival Tour will showcase the band’s diversity, not only in song selection but also in how the songs are performed. Rather than just a traditional “rock show,” they will also incorporate acoustic, electronic, and experimental elements into a set that should check many boxes for fans of The Awakening and dark music in various shapes and forms. You will also see each band member playing more than one role, which is always exciting.

Many have asked about more shows, and Ashton was delighted to confirm that EU dates will be announced soon! He is also excited to share that he will embark on a solo acoustic tour of Europe in September, which will include both private and public appearances. If you are interested in booking a private or public solo acoustic show, please reach out to the band and they will make it happen!
