Words:: Kerrang! staff

Last night in London, While She Sleeps announced they are headlining the 10,000-capacity Alexandra Palace.

Supporting the mighty Parkway Drive at Ally Pally, following their monstrous set, the Steel City bruisers unveiled a large white flag emblazoned with the words 'While She Sleeps headline Alexandra Palace September 23rd 2023'. No cryptic messaging, just written out in black and white for all to see – Sleeps are going big next year.

Posters displaying the information were also plastered around the venue and behind bars.

No further information has been announced – like when tickets go on sale or if it's part of a wider UK tour – but this will be the Sheffield metallers' largest headline show ever, so you have to imagine they're planning something pretty special.

Sleeps are currently on tour across the UK with Lorna Shore supporting Parkway Drive. Catch them at one of the dates below.
