Neurosis will play two concerts in Italy next June, and the first of them is inside the amphitheatre at Pompeii.

The Anfiteatro degli Scavi takes them on 23 June 2027. It was built around eighty years before the volcano and is the oldest surviving Roman amphitheatre of its kind, which makes the booking either the most obvious idea anybody ever had for this band or the most ridiculous, depending on how you feel about them.

The Alcatraz in Milan follows on 24 June. Both sit inside a wider set of European headline dates the band have announced for the summer.

They came back this March with An Undying Love For A Burning World, their first album in ten years, and have been playing since. The North American run we wrote about earlier covers Brooklyn, Chicago, Portland, Seattle, Boston and Los Angeles, plus two sets at Roadburn.

Presale is open through the band. General sale starts on 13 November at ten in the morning.
