In May 2012 Anathema released ‘Weather Systems’, the most acclaimed & successful album of a career that has spanned over two decades. The album scored high in numerous critics end of year polls around the world & cemented their reputation as one of the most exciting & progressive bands around.

Following the release of the album, the band embarked on a lengthy world tour. The European leg of the tour opened with a triumphant one-off show at the ancient Roman theatre of Philippopolis with the Plovdiv Philharmonic Orchestra in September 2012.
