Opeth Delivers Epic Performance at Piece Hall in Halifax

Opeth took the stage at Halifax’s historic Piece Hall on August 1, 2026, for their only UK gig of the year, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Joined by fellow Swedish bands Paradise Lost and Katatonia, the event felt like a match made in metal heaven, especially on Yorkshire Day.

Kicking off the night, Katatonia set the tone with their majestic and melancholic prog metal, captivating the audience from the very start. Paradise Lost followed, delivering a set that spanned their illustrious career, with classics like ‘One Second’ and ‘The Last Time’ resonating deeply with the crowd.

As the headliners, Opeth showcased a dynamic setlist that included tracks from their latest album, The Last Will And Testament, alongside fan favorites like ‘Windowpane’ and ‘The Drapery Falls.’ Frontman Mikael Akerfeldt’s humor and charm shone through, even as they navigated technical quirks during their performance.

The visuals were stunning, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that had fans feeling as if they had stepped into another dimension. With a mix of classic and contemporary tracks, Opeth proved once again why they are a force in the progressive metal scene.
