Polyphia - BE NOT AFRAID World Tour

Polyphia's BE NOT AFRAID World Tour brings the American progressive metal band to O2 Academy Birmingham, with French synthwave musician Perturbator and the acts RJ Pasin and BE Not Afraid also on the bill.

Polyphia are an American progressive metal band from Dallas, formed in 2010, whose music also draws on progressive rock and art rock. Their first album, Muse, was released in 2014. This Birmingham date forms part of the BE NOT AFRAID World Tour, and the bill also features Perturbator, a French synthwave musician active since 2012.

Perturbator released the debut album TERROR 404 in 2012 on the Blood Music label, and its electronic sound is built on synthesisers. The evening also includes RJ Pasin and BE Not Afraid, who are named alongside the headline acts on this tour. The programme therefore brings together guitar-led progressive music and electronic compositions in a single night.

O2 Academy Birmingham is the venue hosting the concert, a Birmingham space for concerts and shows. The night will suit listeners interested in progressive metal, progressive rock and synthwave, and those following Polyphia's work since their debut recordings.
