This week, Poets of the Fall announced the latest dates for their Echoes of the Carnival tour, celebrating the twentieth anniversary of their spectacular Carnival of Rust album. Their new social media post not only shares the new dates but also teases an unreleased track from the original Carnival of Rust album sessions and special upcoming merch.
While the merch and unreleased track are for another time, fifteen tour dates for the Echoes of the Carnival Tour have now been revealed. So far, they are planning to take the tour across Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK, supported by Rabbit Cult.
The majority of the gigs in Finland are part of open-air festivals, culminating in a special dedicated evening, Carnival By The Sea, at the Allas Seapool in Helsinki.

Poets of the Fall are also known by their fictional alter-ego, Old Gods of Asgard, from the Alan Wake and Control series. The band was formed in 2003 and first gained attention with their debut song, Late Goodbye, featured in Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne. Over twenty years later, Carnival of Rust remains one of their most popular albums and a strong fan favourite. It proved that the band had the talent and drive to continue and build upon success.
