It’s going to be hard to top drone metal act Sunn O)))’s epic set during last year’s Unsound Festival at the Hearn Generating Station as part of Luminato.
But if you missed it, the intensely loud and intensely weird Seattle collective is returning to town to play a less appropriately austere venue, the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, as part of a short tour of North America planned for March. Their Southern Lord labelmates Big Brave are opening.
Sunn O)))’s last studio album was 2015’s Kannon.
March 14 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre (190 Princes’ Blvd). Doors 8 pm. $37. ticketweb.ca.
