(SP) South African gothic-darkwave legacy act The Awakening Is touring again for the first time in nearly a decade, kicking things off this week. This time around, it's in support of their new eponymous 12th album.
The 'Haunting Tour 2025' includes headline shows in Germany, France, Canada, the UK and USA, plus co-headlining the legendary Castle Party and Brainstorm Fest, and headlining Glom Fest, taking six acts up the west coast from LA to Vancouver. At various points in Europe, they will be joined by Germany's The Last Decade and Britain's The Royal Ritual.
Now US-based, The Awakening formed in Johannesburg in the late '90s, revolving around ASHTON NYTE, who was anointed as "Johannesburg's Bowie". The Awakening recently shared the video for 'Through The Veil', following 'Mirror Midnight' and 'Haunting', each of which has amassed over one million views.
