Following a monumental summer that sees AVATAR supporting Metallica on their global juggernaut and lighting up some of Europe’s most iconic festival stages before heading Down Under to Australia, the Swedish theatrical metal titans are ready to end the year on their own terms. AVATAR are thrilled to announce a headline tour across the UK and EU this late Autumn 2026.
Lead singer Johannes Eckerström says, “A Europe in November. A Europe in December. Cold, wet and dark. We all know what it’s like, and we know exactly what you’ll need. The first European leg made us feel very lucky to be doing this. This time around, we will do everything within our power to make you feel lucky to participate. We live by but one ethos: Better than ever. I really want to see you, and you really don’t want to miss this.”
The tour kicks off on 20th November in Wolverhampton, UK and runs through until 19 December in Wrocław, Poland. The Danish death metal band Neckbreakker will be support on all dates. Tickets go on sale on Tuesday, May 26 at 10am local time from here: https://avatarmetal.com
