LEPROUS vocalist Einar Solberg checked in with the following comment about the band’s upcoming activities:
“It feels almost surreal that we’re about to embark on our first North American tour since 2018. We can’t wait to finally play for our American and Canadian fans again! We’re also super happy to announce that we finally got to reschedule some of the cancelled shows from last year’s 20th anniversary tour. But before any of that. we’ll do a livestream of that exact ‘best of’ anniversary show on January 29th for those who couldn’t make it to the concerts!”
