Sleep Token performed at Germany’s sister festivals Rock Im Park and Rock Am Ring over the weekend, marking their first shows of 2025. The gigs featured the live debuts of four songs from the mysterious UK band’s new album, Even in Arcadia, as well as a new elaborate stage production.
At Rock Im Park on Saturday (June 7th) in Nuremberg, Sleep Token unveiled an impressive stage design, consisting of a large multi-tiered castle with a waterfall, along with new masks.
The band played a 16-song set, featuring the first-ever live performances of Even in Arcadia tracks “Look to Winward,” “Emergence,” “Caramel,” and “Damocles,” along with six tunes from their breakout 2023 album Take Me Back to Eden.

On Sunday (June 8th), Sleep Token played a slightly shorter 14-song set at Rock Am Ring in Nürburg, cutting out two songs from Take Me Back to Eden.
The Rock Im Park and Rock Am Ring performances should give a good preview of what fans can expect on Sleep Token’s sold-out North American fall arena tour (tickets available via StubHub). That outing runs from September 16th in Duluth, Georgia, through October 11th in Los Angeles.
Even in Arcadia was released in May, and was recently included in Heavy Consequence‘s midyear list of the 20 Best Metal & Hard Rock Albums of 2025 So Far.
