After breaking up in 1998, and returning a mere 16 years later in 2009, Sleep are finally back with their first piece of new music, The Clarity. Originally the 2009 reformation was meant to be a one off, a proper send-off for the trio, but more festivals followed, then US and European tours, and they haven’t stopped since.
In 2012, the band reissued Dopesmoker in full, remastered and over an hour in length – the way it was meant to be heard. Now they will return to Australia for a run of six shows, including Meredith Music Festival and stops in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.
Update: a second show has been announced.
