Atreyu Announces UK and European Tour for 20+1 Anniversary of The Curse
It looks like metalcore heroes Atreyu will be doing even more performances as an Alex Varkatzas cover band, because the tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of their 2004 album The Curse is coming to Europe.
2024 marked the 20th anniversary of Atreyu’s sophomore album The Curse, which remains one of their most popular albums to this day. To celebrate the anniversary, the band put on a one-off full-album performance of the record at the House of Blues in Anaheim, California back in October. As excited as fans were, pretty much every fan of the band quickly pointed out that Atreyu no longer has the vocalist who sang on that album, Alex Varkatzas, who left the band in 2020. With drummer Brandon Saller taking on lead vocal duties, it seems a bit odd to have Saller singing an album Varkatzas sang in the first place. But that didn’t stop the band from expanding their celebration into an Australian tour with Memphis May Fire in July where they’ll be playing the album in its entirety.
On Friday, the band announced yet another set of tour dates to celebrate what they’re now calling the 20+1 anniversary of the album, this time in the UK and Europe in 2025. The tour kicks off in Bristol, UK in late September and wraps up in Hamburg, Germany in October.
It seems a little strange for the band to do entire tours of this album in Europe and Australia and only do a single anniversary show for the album in their own home country. I can only imagine that a North American tour will be announced somewhere down the road.
In the meantime, here’s the dates for Atreyu’s European tour as well as their other announced 2025 tours:
