Watch Sleep Token perform live without their bassist and guitarist this week [Video]

Sleep Token took to the stage in Zurich, Switzerland on Monday (November 5) without their guitarist and bassist.

The masked four-piece were two men down inside Halle 622 but performed regardless, delivering a 16-song set by blaring live recordings from the absent musicians over the backing tape. Watch video footage and see the setlist below.

The band first announced their bassist, known as III, and guitarist, IV, wouldn’t be performing via a social media post on Monday. In their typically cryptic way, they chalked their temporary disappearances up to an unexplained illness.

“Zurich, following the earlier news of IV’s illness, we regret to share that our brother III has now also fallen ill and will be unable to perform tonight,” the band wrote.

Nonetheless, Sleep Token vowed to plough on: “We always endeavour to avoid cancelling a Ritual unless completely unavoidable, and we hope this outcome is more acceptable to you than a last-minute cancellation.”

After the Zurich show, the band released another statement…
