Haken Announce ‘Liveforms: An Evening With Haken’ – Recorded Live in London
In 2024, Haken pulled out all the stops to celebrate their critically acclaimed ‘Fauna’ album in extraordinary style, embarking on an ‘An Evening With’ tour that saw them deliver two full sets each night—yes, two! Set one was dedicated to performing ‘Fauna’ in its entirety, while set two revisited favorites from their entire discography. Now, we get to relive it all with this live recording from London’s O2 Forum in Kentish Town, capturing a memorable homecoming gig that Haken themselves call one of their best performances of the tour.

Band Comments
Haken described the tour as “one of our favourite tours we’ve done,” highlighting that three hours of music from 15 years of Haken—plus ‘Fauna’ front to back—proved a big moment for them. The evening in London was, in their words, “an electric atmosphere” and the perfect candidate for a live recording.
