Fabled dance act Sunn O))), a band who could change their name to The Mighty Sunn O))) and get away with it, are bringing themselves and all their might to Europe this summer for a long string of festival dates. This is excellent news on any number of levels. Will sunny Primavera be able to cope with their might? Will their set at Meltdown see them literalising the festival’s name and liquefying the Queen Elizabeth Hall? Either way, take a look at the full dates below:
