Haken to Tour North America

In conjunction with their appearance at RoSfest on May 2nd, Haken are excited to announce some additional dates in North America and Canada.

If you are reading this and thinking, "Why aren't they coming to my city!?", remember, it isn't that simple. If these shows are a success, the chances are the promoter will want to book them for more in the future, so if you can make a road trip, they'd really, really appreciate it!

Haken released the critically acclaimed The Mountain in 2013 and recently released an EP called Restoration.

And contrary to Magma's limited North American Tour, Haken is coming to Montreal. Ticketing info is coming soon.
