CALIBAN Confirmed for Sweden's CLOSE-UP BÅTEN Cruise

November 19, 2009

German metalcore act CALIBAN is the sixth band confirmed for the Close-Up Båten cruise.

For the fourth time, Close-Up Båten will sail from Stockholm, Sweden to Finland on February 25, 2010 and return the following day.

Confirmed bands so far:

DARK TRANQUILLITY
CULT OF LUNA
BULLET
DEATHSTARS
CALIBAN
TRIBULATION

One more act will be announced for Close-Up Båten, once again packed with 2,000 partying metalheads.

Close-Up Båten will mark the first show of DARK TRANQUILLITY's next world tour.

"It will definitely be the very first time we play songs from our forthcoming album, which will probably be released on February 22," says vocalist Mikael Stanne. "We absolutely view this as a release gig and start of our next world tour. The timing is perfect as the album's being released right around that time. We had such a blast the last time we played on Close-Up Båten in 2007 and thought it would be perfect to return to live action there."

CULT OF LUNA is currently taking an extended break from touring, but will make an exception for Close-Up Båten.

"I don't see a tour in the foreseeable future," says guitarist Johannes Persson (also of KHOMA). "We've done quite a lot of touring in support of 'Eternal Kingdom'. There won't be a European tour for quite some time and that's a promise."
