The pandemic put a hold on many things, and the Collective was not exempted from this. Thus it had been over a year since Sleep Token performed for followers. The last ritual held had been in the month of January, at the beginning of the year that wasn’t: 2020.
This event included our dear collective returning to stage with Sundowning under their belts, and a new album cycle in the works. Some day this curator will cover the hopeful, but brief Isolation Rituals that never were.
The setlist was as follows, including the first on stage performance of Alkaline:
Thread the Needle The Night Does Not Belong to God The Offering Jaws Dark Signs Alkaline Sugar Nazareth Higher
Sleep Token, in support of Northlane’s Obsidian tour, performed at The Tivoli in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia this day in 2022. It was their first appearance in this city as well as the last city on this tour.
The setlist was reported to be as follows:
Alkaline Hypnosis Like That The Love You Want Higher The Offering
The collective played at the 2023 edition of the Full Force Festival, in Gräfenhainichen, Germany on this day. Once more a part of their United Kingdom & Europe Summer Rituals tour in 2023.
The setlist appears to have been as follows:

Sleep Token released the deluxe edition of their first album, Sundowning, today in 2020. Featuring 4 additional tracks listed as “from the Room Below”, this deluxe edition had 16 total songs, including a piano version of “Blood Sport”, two covers – Billie Eilish’s song “When the Party’s Over” and Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody”, as well as the original acoustic piece “Shelter”.
Blood Sport (from the room below) was released as a music video on YouTube on this day.
The Deluxe edition had no physical release and was digital only.
The music video for Blood Sport released today was called an offering from The Room Below.
Today in 2019, Sleep Token released the full audio for the first song on their first LP, Sundowning.
The collective slowly released all songs from their first album like singles, although they were not considered as such. This continued until the full album release on November 22 2019.
Teaser video posted to social media.

Produced by George Lever. Written and composed by Vessel and II.
It is noted that this song is revisited in Sleep Token’s third album release, towards the end of the twelfth track. A callback, if you will, bringing the three album cycle full circle and to an end.
From June 4 2020 to June 18 2020, the collective posted a series of photos with quotes from songs included on their first album Sundowning. On this day in 2020, they posted a teaser video with a piano track that was the room below version of Blood Sport.
