Neverender is an intense concert experience where the band Coheed & Cambria will be playing their 4 albums over 4 consecutive nights in each of the 4 cities around the US and UK that they visit.
Coheed and Cambria have long been a band that won't be put in a box. They make music that is a fusion of different genres, and Coheed and Cambria's albums are concept albums, revealing the plot of a storyline called
The Amory Wars.
The Armory Wars is a comic book series written by lead singer Claudio Sanchez. To date, the band has released four studio albums who have a title that coincides with a comic, two live albums, and various special-edition releases, with their latest release being
Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World For Tomorrow in 2007. Claudio states the next album is probably a year away, and will visit the origins of the characters Coheed & Cambria. Claudio's venture into the realm of concept album to accompany a comic series was a pioneer move that many musicians have joined in on, only not in the same way. C&C is the only band that has spanned music and comics in the way that they have.
The first set of shows are:
The second set of shows are:
The third set of shows are:
And the fourth set are yet to be announced. According to the band website, Kerrang! magazine will be announcing the concert dates for London on Wednesday Aug, 20th. So, if you want to see any of these concerts and you don't have tickets yet it looks like Chicago and London will be your best bets. :)
These concerts seem like they would be fantastic experiences and I wish I could go. I hope that there are people that attend the shows dressed as Coheed & Cambria (the comic characters).

Sounds like an awesome show! I must get around to reading Armory Wars at some point. I love this crossover thing they've got going on. It's unique and it seems to be a success for them. Umbrella Academy is just a comic written by a singer. But this is something different, linking the albums with the comics as one storyline. It's cool. Do you know if each comic arc is tied to each album?
Yes, the comic arc is tied to each album. It is pretty spectacular really. And there is a new comic supposedly coming out that is the, prequel I guess. And the new album will coincide with that story arc.
