We are very pleased to announce that The Awakening will be touring South Africa in March 2014 - the first time since relocating to the USA in 2008!
The band will be playing 7 shows across South Africa in support of their latest release, "Anthology XV". The album, now available on iTunes, features 21 songs spanning 15 years of music releases by The Awakening. Every song has been re-mixed, re-worked or re-recorded. The selection includes all the essential tracks, alternate versions, new versions and 2 brand new songs, "Fault" and "Beneath Your Feet".
Since relocating to the US, The Awakening released their 8th album, "Tales Of Absolution + Obsoletion" in 2009, toured extensively and completed work on "Anthology XV". Front man and songwriter Ashton Nyte released his 5th solo album, "The Valley" in 2010 and has recorded 2 new solo albums, one in English and one in Afrikaans, due to be released in 2014. Other highlights included tours from New York to New Orleans, a feature on PRI’s “The World” (on National Public Radio), headlining the HM stage at the Cornerstone Festival and an on-air performance on “Border Crossings” to over 125 million listeners.
The Awakening has enjoyed a dedicated following in South Africa since the release of "Risen" in 1997, featuring their rendition of "The Sound Of Silence", now a cult classic. Numerous nation-wide tours, headline slots at festivals like Oppikoppi and Ramfest and extensive radio and media support have maintained The Awakening's iconic status and fueled the necessity for another South African tour.
