The Swedes Cult Of Luna have announced, or rather implied, that the band will be taking a break from their busy schedule after next year's Beyond The Redshift festival in the UK which they are curating. The statement is quite cryptic and non-specific but it does seem that you should expect a lot less activity from them after May 2014 for a while.

The band issued this statement: "The Beyond The Redshift festival in London on May the 10th will be a very special show for Cult Of Luna. It will mark the end of an era and after that we will slowly disappear before we reappear again in some form in some indefinite future. Because of that Klas will join us on stage for the last time and we will play a whole lot of old songs which we haven't played for years or ever. We might ask for your help to choose songs. More on that later."

And another one to "clarify": "We are not quitting. 2013 have been a very active year for us and neither do we want or think it is good to continue in that pace. We will not be a band that put out an album every 18-24 month anymore. We did that for almost 10 years when we were younger and were able to focus more on the music. After 'Beyond The Redshift' we might do a festival or two but after that we have nothing planned. Maybe we'll release another album next year or maybe in a decade, we honestly don't know. Sooner or later we will return in one form or another. Cult Of Luna will not die."




Cult Of Luna will be curating a brand new festival to take place across three venues in London next May. Beyond The Redshift will feature bands playing in and around an "audio-visual experience" set to break boundaries at The Forum, The Dome and the Boston Music Room in London, UK, on May 10th.

The following bands are already confirmed to play: Cult Of Luna, Amplifier, God Seed, Amenra, Bossk, Dirk Serries and Blueneck.
