Den Atelier, Luxembourg-City, Luxembourg3rd August 2025
Mastodon - “Europe Summer 2025” - Support: Evil Invaders
Hailing from Atlanta, MASTODON are widely regarded as one of the most original and influential American metal bands of the 21st century. Their progressive approach encompasses stoner and sludge metal, hardcore and metalcore, neo-psych and death metal. Their playing style incorporates technically complex guitar riffs, lyrical hooks, long melodic instrumental passages and intricate, jazz-influenced drumming with syncopated time signatures.
Their second album, 2004's ‘Leviathan’ - a concept set based on Herman Melville's iconic novel Moby Dick - became the band's commercial breakthrough. The record is widely regarded as one of the most important albums in the genre's history. The 2011 conceptual album ‘The Hunter’ reflected the band's embrace of prog, channelling influences ranging from King Crimson to OPETH. 2017's ‘Emperor of Sand’ debuted in the Top Ten and was nominated for a Grammy for Best Rock Album - the single ‘Sultan's Curse’ won the award for Best Metal Performance.
Change and evolution are as integral to MASTODON's musical identity as their personnel. In 2020, they released ‘Medium Rarities’, featuring live cuts, covers and instrumentals. In 2021, MASTODON returned to the studio to record the double-length album ‘Hushed and Grim’. In 2024, they collaborated with LAMB OF GOD on the single ‘Floods of Triton’.
