ATREYU Announce Final Show of 2014
ATREYU to Close Out 2014 With Hometown Christmas Show at The Observatory in Orange County on December 20
Band Came out of Hibernation in 2014, Working on New Album, Its First Since 2009
Fresh off their main stage appearance at this weekend’s KNOTFEST in Southern California, which was preceded by an equally anticipated appearance at Aftershock and an off-the-hook warm-up show (which sold out in under 30 minutes) at the Chain Reaction in Anaheim in their native Orange County, ATREYU will play a headlining show at The Observatory in Santa Ana, CA, their hometown.
Tickets for this can’t-be-missed, all-ages Dec. 20 show will go on sale on Friday, October 31 at 10am PT.

“It has been far too long since we did a proper, full-scale headlining show at home,” said singer Alex Varkatzas. “We are rehearsing and pumped up to play this legendary OC venue that we have all attended so many shows at over the years.”
“Chain Reaction was the appetizer,” echoed drummer Brandon Saller. “This is the main course. The Observatory is, bar none, the best venue in Orange County. We’re excited to rip the roof off of it.”
ATREYU entered a period of hibernation and dormancy in 2011 after establishing itself as one of the key bands of the American metal revival that dominated the ’00s. The band was recently spotlighted on VH1’s “Everything You Need to Know About Metalcore” list, highlighting ATREYU‘s status as one of the architects of that scene and sound. The band is currently writing and demoing its forthcoming album, the first since 2009’s Congregation of the Damned, and is busy planning for 2015…so be sure to stay tuned for updates!
