Haken have named the artists who’ll hit the road with them on their upcoming European tour.
Special Providence, Rendezvous Point and Arkentype will join the UK outfit on their 20-date trek, which kicks off at London’s Garage on May 26 in support of fourth album Affinity, out on April 29 via InsideOut.
Haken vocalist Ross Jennings said of the follow-up to 2013’s The Mountain: “It is the most collaborative we have ever been on an album. We wanted to develop and expand our sound by having every member contribute initial ideas from the very beginning of the process.
“It naturally takes longer to filter through the mass of material and fit it all together coherently, but this approach has helped to create something completely fresh.”
The run of dates will wrap up at the TeamRock-sponsored Stone Free festival in London on June 19.
