Opeth who has planned several exclusive shows on two continents in 2015 celebrating 25 years as a band, has booked a special show on September 19th in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Announced via the bands’ Facebook page, the band will be joined at their performance at the Roman Theatre by the 100 piece Plovdiv Philharmonic Orchestra, well known for their work with major international recordings artists. The event ill be promoted by Bulgarian independent radio station Radio Tangra Mega Rock and orchestrated by conductor Levon Manukyan who is the founder of the Levon Manukyan Collegium Musicum orchestra. This appears to be a one-off performance for the Swedish progressive metal legends, who will play different career spanning sets on the upcoming tour, consisting of two sets with the band opening with Ghost Reveries (Roadrunner) in its entirety, and a second career spanning set as well. Opeth is spending this summer performing a previously announced string of festival dates, supporting last summer’s Pale Communion (Roadrunner) release.
