Dark Tranquillity: Currently confirmed tour dates in 2024

The Swedes Dark Tranquillity, a legendary band from Gothenburg with more than three decades behind them, continue working on their new studio material of which we still do not know many details despite the fact that its members are very active on social networks and always share all kinds of details about the recording process of what will be his thirteenth studio album to date, successor to the great Moment from 2020.

Although we still do not know when in 2024 their new album will see the light of day, Dark Tranquillity have already shared several of the concerts they will offer next year around the world, the dates of which have already been confirmed. We leave you the details below:

“We have a level of confidence. We can pull off anything. We can perform anything that we write or have written. But we have a new musical perspective. Fresh ears, fresh ideas, fresh thoughts about what the songs could be,” said vocalist Mikael Stanne when Moment was about to be released. “Johan’s been a fan of the band for a long time. He knows all the old songs, and he can play all the old songs. He pulls out songs that we’ve written ages ago, and goes, ‘more like this?’ I’m like, ‘I don’t even remember that song.’ So, that’s cool to have a musician with a fan’s frame of reference. With Chris, he’s very musical. He has a very cool sense of melody. The emotion he lets out while playing is awesome. To have them being a position to challenge what we used to do or have done over and over is great. They’re helping us change things up a bit.”

“It was exhilarating to start writing with two new guitar players. They have great chemistry. The two of them, playing-wise, they’re amazing. They’re known shredders. But it was important to keep them on the melodic path but without the shredding thing. We’ve never really been about the shred. It would be weird to start doing that now because we can. I mean, Martin was the restraint on this album. He’d often say, ‘That’s too spicy. Too many notes.’ I think the most important thing is, though, is for the guitarists to serve the song,” said Stanne. “That’s what they did on Moment, I think. Chris’s interpretation was always to serve the song instead of playing over it. He listened to what we were trying to do. He was reacting to the overall vibe. That was the perfect approach. It was fascinating to be with them while they recorded the solos in the studios. I loved working with them. They were a highlight for sure.”

Moment was released in November 20th, 2020 via Century Media Records. Three singles were released from their latest album: Phantom Days, The Dark Unbroken and Identical To None.
