Viral alt-metal force Sleep Token have played their first concert of 2024.

The four-piece, who rocketed to international popularity last year with their single The Summoning, are currently supporting Bring Me The Horizon on an arena tour of Australia, which started earlier today (April 10) at the John Cain Arena in Melbourne.

Footage of the performance has now been uploaded to social media, clips of which you can see below.

The Sleep Token/Bring Me The Horizon tour will continue with two dates on Friday and Sunday (April 12 and 14) at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney. The run will also stop at Adelaide, Melbourne (again) and Brisbane.

Sleep Token will then head to North America, starting a leg of US and Canada dates at the Sick New World in Las Vegas on April 27.

UK arena headline shows will follow in November.

The full Sleep Token 2024 tour schedule is available below, with tickets now on sale via the band’s website.

Sleep Token are still touring to promote their third album, Take Me Back To Eden, which was released in May 2023 by Spinefarm.

The band have since inked a deal with major record label RCA.

Metal Hammer gave Take Me Back To Eden a glowing 8/10 review upon release.

Journalist Dannii Leivers wrote: “Combining feeling and sound in a potent, masterful statement, ...Eden is Sleep Token’s strongest effort to date.

“And, while they’ll always be Marmite, there’s no question it will delight those already onboard.

“This is a record that not only expands the band’s universe and continues to prod metal’s boundaries, but considers what it means to be human. Otherworldly they may be, but there’s the deepest empathy within.”
