Live Nation has announced that American doom-metal band Sleep will play a show at the Commodore Ballroom on Saturday, February 7, 2015.

Formed in San Jose in 1990, Sleep earned critical and record label attention early in their career. Critic Eduardo Rivadavia describes them as "perhaps the ultimate stoner rock band", and notes they exerted a strong influence on heavy metal in the '90s.

The group currently consists of Al Cisneros, Matt Pike, and Jason Roeder.

Tickets for the 19+ show are priced at $25 (plus service charges and fees) and go on sale Friday, October 31, at 10 a.m. on the Live Nation website.

Tickets will also be available for purchase by phone at 1-855-985-5000, at Red Cat Records, and at all Ticketmaster outlets.
