It’s the kickoff date of their Catacombs Tour, a limited-run series of historic theater shows across North America. Special guest Paris Jackson, daughter of Pop king Micheal Jackson, will open the night.

The Catacombs Tour is built around Alive in the Catacombs, their recent live album and concert film released in June 2025, recorded deep inside the catacombs of Paris. The recoding includes reimagined arrangements, assembled ensembles, and a darker, more intimate take on their catalog.
