Anathema will kick off 2020 with a 10th anniversary tour celebrating the band's We're Here Because We're Here, playing the record live across Europe next March.
“We never usually do anniversary tours of particular albums, but in the case of We’re Here Because We’re Here, which is the album that began our rebirth, we feel this is something we want to do. What I love about this album and that time in our journey is the life affirming qualities in the music. It’s an album of hope, reflection, of summer, of an intense uplifting emotion. We will do all we can to augment the trip with a never before seen light and video show to enhance the experience. Join us in the dreaming light," Danny Cavanagh says.
In addition, Anathema will release a new studio album next year on the Mascot Label Group.
