Sleep Token, the enigmatic UK collective known for their genre-defying sound and masked personas, have once again captivated the music world. Their fourth studio album, Even in Arcadia, released on May 9, 2025, via RCA Records, has swiftly climbed the charts, securing the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Hard Rock Albums chart and making a notable entry into the Billboard 200 .
The album’s lead singles — “Emergence,” “Caramel,” and “Damocles” — have each made significant impacts, with “Emergence” marking the band’s first entry into the Billboard Hot 100 . The trio of tracks showcases Sleep Token’s unique blend of alternative metal, post-rock, and R&B influences, further solidifying their place in the modern music landscape.
However, amidst the album’s success, fans were left scratching their heads over the band’s absence from this year’s Welcome to Rockville festival, set to kick off this Thursday, May 15, in Daytona Beach, Florida. Given their rising popularity and the festival’s reputation for featuring top-tier rock acts, Sleep Token’s omission from the lineup feels like a missed opportunity — both for the band and their burgeoning U.S. fanbase.
For those eager to experience Sleep Token live, the band has announced their Even in Arcadia North American tour, commencing this September. Notably, the tour includes a stop in Orlando, Florida, on September 17, offering a chance for Sunshine State fans to witness the band’s immersive performances firsthand .
