played at Soundwave festival

In February and March 2009, Lacuna Coil played at the Australian music festival Soundwave alongside metal acts including DevilDriver , In Flames , Lamb of God , and Nine Inch Nails . The festival spanned five capital cities, at which they performed their single ” Spellbound ” from Shallow Life for the first time. Early June saw them play in the UK at Download Festival. Their set was scheduled for the opening day, where they would play on the second stage just before Opeth and later Mötley Crüe. Later in July 2009, Lacuna Coil embarked on the American Spellbound Tour, alongside Kill Hannah , Seventh Void , and Dommin . This was Lacuna Coil’s first U.S. headlining run in over two years and the first tour the band has been on since the Music as a Weapon Tour IV alongside Disturbed , Killswitch Engage , and Chimaira in early 2009. During Early 2010 (Jan/Feb) the band came to the United Kingdom to do a Headline “Shallow Life” tour with their support acts Dommin and Dirty Little Rabbits . They then returned to the UK again in September/October 2010 headlining the “Survive” tour, this time at more intimate/VIP venues, with the support act Slaves to Gravity .
