The post-prog rock icons return

Liverpool post-prog rock icons Anathema will bring their new record, The Optimist, to Australia for a five-date tour this December.

The band’s 11th record is released next month and after honing their craft with stripped-back performances after the release of Distant Satellites, they’ll return a full-force setup.

The Optimist drops June 9, leaving six months to familiar yourself with tunes like lead single Springfield.

Presale tickets are available May 3 from 5pm local time with general public live May 5 from 9am local time.
