Haken Announce 10th Anniversary Tour of North America

Having only gotten hip to Haken on last year’s marvelous Affinity, I’m woefully behind the times. As a self-professed prog nerd I should’ve been into them ages ago… but somehow I just completely missed the boat.

My impressions of Haken fans is that they’re absolutely gaga about the band, a small but extremely devoted fanbase. So, if I go to see the band on their upcoming North American tour, am I gonna be the one dude in the crowd who doesn’t know every word, guitar solo and drum fill? I suppose there’s only one way to find out.

Here are the dates for the band’s tenth anniversary tour of North America; tickets are on sale here and Sithu Aye will open. Affinity is embedded in full below for your enjoyment whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer like me.
