UNDEROATH: OBSERVATORY LIVESTREAM SERIES KICKS OFF TONIGHT AT 8PM ET
BAND WILL PERFORM LOST IN THE SOUND OF SEPARATION IN FULL
THE SHOWS ALSO INCLUDE A UNIQUE PARTNERSHIP WITH INDEPENDENT CONCERT PROMOTERS
GRAMMY-nominated hard rock band UNDEROATH are kicking off UNDEROATH: OBSERVATORY, an epic livestream concert series that will unfold over a three-week period this month. The first show is set for tonight, Friday, July 17, at 8pm ET.
Fans can purchase tickets for each show here.
Underoath have also partnered with some of their favorite independent promoters and venues — including Danny Wimmer Presents; Third String Productions (Texas); Chain Reaction (SoCal); Psyko Steve Presents (Arizona); Mike Thrasher Presents (Portland/Seattle); Liberation (South America); Destroy All Lines ( Australia); and Opus Live (Paris) — to present these events. The band has teamed up with over 30 promoters and venues for this series.
Every ticket sold through these partnerships will give $5 of the $15 ticket to the local promoter to bring some additional support to the clubs who helped Underoath start their career. This will be the first revenue many of these clubs have seen since early March. The band says, “Our goal is to educate more artists that we all benefit when we bring the local independent promoters into this new live streaming ecosystem. We hope this will help artists better reach their fans and allow some promoters to get back to doing the great work they do.”
For UNDEROATH: OBSERVATORY, the band will perform a show per week, which will be broadcast from a secret location that will include a groundbreaking new stage design utilizing full touring production exclusively built for these online performances. The shows will be produced in association with Bandsintown. Each week will feature a full album performance, which will take place Friday evenings at 8PM ET. The series kicks off with the Grammy nominated Lost In The Sound of Separation, followed by the gold-selling Define the Great Line, and wrapping with They’re Only Chasing Safety, which also achieved Gold status.
Additionally, each record will be reissued on vinyl and there will also be accompanying merch drops.
Underoath are aiming to bring the concert stage to your living room and beyond with this unparalleled series. Read more about the series in this exclusive interview with Forbes.
“We’ve always been a live band so this is a big deal for us,” the band said upon announcing the digital residency. ‘We’ve never attempted something of this scope so tackling it has been a big undertaking, but also exciting. It’s a different arena for sure, but I think this will be something that changes how we approach our live shows from here on out. We can’t wait to see what happens….We’ll do it live.”
The full show schedule is as follows.
Friday, July 17: Lost In The Sound of Separation
Friday, July 24: Define the Great Line
Friday, July 31: They’re Only Chasing Safety
