The Knife To Headline Way Out West & Øyafestivalen

After revealing their return back at the end of last year by announcing the release of a new album, it seems Swedish electro duo The Knife can’t stop announcing more and more live appearances.

They’ve already confirmed details of a European tour, set to take place following the release of the new record, ‘Shaking The Habitual’, which will be out on 8th April via Brille Records. The tour includes two dates at The Roundhouse in London, the second having been added after the first sold out almost immediately.

Now, in addition to these, the pair have been announced as headliners of this year’s Way Out West and Øyafestivalen. The former takes place in the Swedish city of Gothenburg between 8th and 10th August, and will also see an appearance from Solange.

They will headline Øya on 10th August, their set being the duo’s only Norwegian appearance this summer. The Oslo festival has already confirmed sets from Blur, Slayer and Solange.

They had already been confirmed for the Finnish Flow Festival, which takes place in Helsinki on 7th August.
