After putting out a call on social media in April for a fan who was planning on following all of Sleep Token's then-upcoming U.S. tour, we were met with raised eyebrows, jokes and expressions of skepticism—all of which were totally understandable. After all, gathering such a huge haul of tickets would have seemingly required a hugely improbable blessing from the ticket gods, and then there were the logistical hurdles: the travel, lodging, time and stamina that would be required for such a feat.
四月份,在社交媒體上向一位計劃全程關注 Sleep Token 即將到來的美國巡演的粉絲發出了電話後,我們遇到了揚眉、笑話和懷疑的表情——所有這些都是完全可以理解的。畢竟,收集如此大量的門票似乎需要票神極不可能的祝福,而且還存在後勤障礙:完成這項壯舉所需的旅行、住宿、時間和體力。
And yet, the person we were looking for did exist after all. Just about. Enter our superfan Levi—such a superfan that just like the band, she's chosen to appear in this story under a pseudonym—who managed to score tickets to a staggering 16 shows on the band's 21-date run. In fact, numerous respondents got in touch who were planning on attending multiple dates of the band's Teeth of God tour. Looking at the astounding trajectory Sleep Token have traced over the last year and a half, maybe it shouldn't have been a surprise.
然而,我們要找的人終究是存在的。大概。我們的超級粉絲 Levi 登場了——她是一個和樂隊一樣的超級粉絲,她選擇以化名出現在這個故事中——她在樂隊 21 場演出中成功獲得了 16 場演出的門票。事實上,許多受訪者都聯繫了他們,他們計劃參加樂團的「Teeth of God」巡演的多個日期。看看 Sleep Token 在過去一年半中所追蹤的驚人軌跡,也許這並不令人驚訝。
In that time, what started as a devout cult following has blossomed into a voracious, adoring community across the world—one that picks apart the dense web of lore spun through Sleep Token's songs and imagery and exchanges theories about the story they're trying to tell.
在那段時間裡,最初的虔誠追隨者已經發展成為一個遍布世界各地的貪婪、崇拜的社區——這個社區通過睡眠令牌的歌曲和圖像編織出密集的傳說網絡,並就他們試圖講述的故事交換理論。
Every time Sleep Token perform one of their shows—better known as Rituals—diehards fawn over clips on social media for days, every grain of footage like a precious artifact. They imagine what personalities might be hidden beneath those masks. When drummer II gave an interview about the influences on his playing, fans latched onto everything from the cadence of his speech to his laugh to the way he expressively moved his hands as he spoke. They're also fiercely loyal. Any attempt to uncover the identities of the anonymous band is met with derision, seen as a mark of disrespect towards four musicians who conceal their everyday identities as part of their art.
每次 Sleep Token 表演他們的節目(更廣為人知的名字是 Rituals)時,頑固分子都會在社交媒體上奉承好幾天的片段,每一粒片段都像一件珍貴的文物。他們想像這些面具下可能隱藏著什麼樣的個性。當鼓手 II 接受採訪,談論對他的演奏的影響時,粉絲們抓住了一切,從他演講的節奏到他的笑聲,再到他說話時富有表現力的雙手移動方式。他們也非常忠誠。任何揭露匿名樂團身分的嘗試都會遭到嘲笑,被視為對四位音樂家的不尊重,他們隱藏自己的日常身分作為藝術的一部分。
Sleep Token have garnered a sterling reputation for their theatrical shows, the production value of which has soared as the band has ascended. Their light shows are flashier, spoken-word interludes are played between songs (the closest Sleep Token have ever come to between-song chat as frontman Vessel will not utter a word) and they now have masked backup singers, who fans lovingly referred to as the Vesselettes before their identities were revealed as the vocal trio Espera.
Sleep Token 因其戲劇表演而贏得了良好的聲譽,其製作價值隨著樂團的崛起而飆升。他們的燈光秀更加華麗,在歌曲之間播放口語插曲(這是最接近歌曲間聊天的睡眠令牌,因為主唱Vessel 不會說一句話),而且他們現在有了蒙面伴唱,粉絲們親切地在稱他們為在他們的身份被揭露為聲樂三人組埃斯佩拉之前,維塞萊特夫婦。
Is it any wonder, then, that there'd be such a demand to see Sleep Token live when they've inspired such devotion? In their home country of the U.K., they've got their first full arena tour booked for the end of the year and it sold out quicker than you can say "Chokehold"—and their U.S. leg has already seen them take steps into arenas, some big enough to hold 10,000 devotees.
那麼,當睡眠代幣激發瞭如此多的熱情時,人們會有如此強烈的需求來觀看它,這還有什麼奇怪的嗎?在他們的祖國英國,他們已經預訂了今年年底的第一次完整的競技場巡演,而且門票售罄的速度比你說的“Chokehold”還要快——而他們的美國站已經看到他們邁入競技場,有些大到足以容納 10,000 名信徒。
How many of said devotees would go to the same lengths as Levi? She's setting off from her home in the South for three weeks on what is essentially a tour of her own alongside Sleep Token. She was one of an influx of fans who discovered the group through their viral smash "The Summoning," from 2023 breakout Take Me Back to Eden, while idly scrolling through Reddit one day—but it was only when she revisited the song a few months on from that initial discovery that the touchpaper was properly lit. She saw her first Ritual in New York in September 2023 and immediately caught the bug.
有多少上述奉獻者會像利維一樣竭盡全力?她將從南方的家出發,為期三週,這本質上是她自己與睡眠令牌一起的旅行。她是眾多粉絲中的一員,她是透過2023 年突破性歌曲《Take Me Back to Eden》中的熱門單曲“The Summoning”發現該樂隊的,有一天她閒著無事地瀏覽Reddit,但直到幾個月後她重新審視了這首歌。 2023 年 9 月,她在紐約第一次看到了儀式,並立即被吸引住了。
"Even watching it from the back of the room, from between heads, something about it was so attention-grabbing that I was like, 'You know what, I have to do this again, but next time I want to be able to see!'" she says. "So I did it again… and again… and again." She even made a whirlwind 24-hour trip to London in December to watch Sleep Token headline the iconic 12,000-capacity Wembley Arena.
「即使是從房間的後面,從頭頂之間觀看,它的一些內容也非常引人注目,我就想,『你知道嗎,我必須再做一次,但下次我希望能夠看到!』」“她說。 “所以我又做了一次……一次又一次……一次又一次。” 12 月,她甚至進行了一次 24 小時的倫敦之旅,在可容納 12,000 人的標誌性溫布利體育場觀看《睡眠代幣》(Sleep Token) 的表演。
The decision to follow the band on tour was made almost unconsciously. Initially, Levi and her friend Cass, who she met in line at another Sleep Token show, and their other friend Crystal, set out to get tickets for some of the larger gigs in iconic venues such as Red Rocks and Radio City Music Hall. But then the plan to go to those two shows ended up turning into something bigger. "Somehow, it just grew from there, where we were just like, 'Let's see how many tickets we can get,'" says Levi. "And here we are—I honestly can't remember how we got here." They bought tickets in dribs and drabs, some through the presales, some through general sale, and some through resales over a period of several months. "It's called refresh hell," she quips. "We'd sit there for the last four months, just
跟隨樂團巡迴演出的決定幾乎是無意識地做出的。最初,利維和她的朋友卡斯(她在另一場睡眠令牌演出中排隊時認識的)和他們的另一個朋友克里斯托,開始在紅岩和無線電城音樂廳等標誌性場所購買一些大型演出的門票。但後來去看這兩場演出的計畫最終變成了更大的事情。 「不知何故,它就從那裡開始發展,我們就像是,『讓我們看看我們能得到多少張門票,』」利維說。 “我們就在這裡——老實說,我不記得我們是怎麼到這裡的。”他們是零零散散地買票的,有的透過預售,有的透過一般銷售,有的透過幾個月的轉售。 「這就是所謂的刷新地獄,」她打趣道。 「過去四個月我們就坐在那裡,只是
