Yes, you read that right, Opeth (wikipedia link).
This is as big as when Jethro Tull headlined Unmaad at IIMB in 2006 February, and I guess most people in Bangalore aren’t particularly thrilled about the fact that a huge name like Opeth is heading to Chennai instead of coming here.
Once confirmation is received concretely about their playing at Decibels in Saarang, guess people better start booking their means of transport to Chennai (don’t bother too much about the return journey) for around the 24th or 25th of Jan next year.
More updates, if any, to follow.
Update: Opeth’s performance at Chennai for Saarang 09 has been confirmed. Videep (G0dzill4 on comments in this post) emailed Andy Farrow of Northern Music Co. who confirmed it thereafter.
Are you serious? That means I probably might be hiking at your place for a bit longer than I’d suggested.[:d]
