Sleep at The Fillmore - San Francisco
Sleep brings its heavy, slow-burning sound to The Fillmore - San Francisco on. Known for extended riffs, thick distortion, and unhurried tempos, the California band is a defining name in stoner metal. Their landmark album Dopesmoker is especially notable for its single, hour-long composition, while Holy Mountain and Sleep's Holy Mountain remain essential listening for fans of the genre.
Sleep formed in the early 1990s and earned a devoted following through music that draws on doom metal's weight and hypnotic repetition. After a long hiatus, the group reunited and released The Sciences in 2018, reaffirming its place among heavy music's most influential acts. The Fillmore's intimate ballroom setting offers a fitting backdrop for a performance built on sustained grooves and immersive volume.
