\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Performances are scheduled for Luxembourg, Germany, Holland, France and England, and the band will perform two sets at each show.\u00a0\u00a0 The first set will see the band play Last Fair Deal Gone Downfront to back, the album that put them firmly on the musical map.\u00a0 The second set will consist of a mixed set of carefully picked songs from the band\u2019s extensive catalogue. The full performance will be well over two hours of live music.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lead guitarist Anders Nystr\u00f6m had the following to say:
\u201cWho could believe that Katatonia would make it all this way, 20 years down the road… It\u2019s quite amazing that 2011 will give us the chance to celebrate an anniversary most marriages don\u2019t reach!\u00a0 Another pleasant coincidence is that our classic album \u2018Last Fair Deal Gone Down\u2019 has just grown a decade old itself, so what do we do, you ask?\u00a0 Well, THAT!\u00a0 We have decided to re-visit \u2018Last Fair Deal Gone Down\u2019 for the first time ever in its entirety and also to take the chance of digging up some of the more obscure songs that we\u2019ve never or rarely played live while blinding in some well known classics from the rest of our catalogue.\u00a0 We hope you\u2019ll come and join us in this special celebration as this shall be a one-time opportunity to witness the Last Fair Day Gone Night!\u201d
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The band will offer exclusive VIP ticket packages, limited to only 70 for each show, which will include a laminated VIP pass exclusive to the show, access to sound check, a meet and greet with Katatonia, a t-shirt exclusive to that particular show, a special tour program, and a very special limited edition vinyl of their latest opus, Night is The New Day, amongst other exclusive items.\u00a0 All the goods will be included in a specially made Katatonia messenger bag.\u00a0 The VIP laminate will also allow early access to venues, so that VIP\u2019s can get the best seats in the house.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In addition, all 350 VIP\u00b4s will automatically be entered into a draw for one lucky VIP to win a grand prize made available by a selection of the band\u00b4s equipment endorsers.\u00a0 Exact contents of this prize will be announced on the band\u00b4s official website within the next few weeks.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
