But the band—whose only named members remain anonymous under the pseudonyms Vessel and II—at least wants to get to know Tampa Bay better by making a local debut this summer.
Tickets to Sleep Token play Tampa’s Yuengling Center on Monday, May 6 go on sale Friday, Jan. 26 and start at $45.75.
Event Details
Sleep Token is known for a synthesis of various genres from atmospheric indie to progressive metal, and has also released cover versions of songs by OutKast and Billie Eilish. The band made the move from Basick Records to the Universal subsidiary Spinefarm Records in 2019, and released its third album Take Me Back To Eden last summer ahead of a sold-out North American tour.
The rock band has developed somewhat of a lore to accompany their mysterious theatrics. In the only interview he’s ever done, Vessel explained that the band members are the mortal representatives of the ancient deity called ‘Sleep.’ Vessel is their leader, the master and creator behind the music, though II has received songwriting credits as well. In II’s only interview he discusses musical influences like Slipknot and Deftones. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
