Paleface Swiss – are embarking on a major EU headlining tour including a show in The Academy, Dublin

Switzerland’s finest, Paleface Swiss, are embarking on a major EU headlining tour including a show in The Academy, Dublin on Monday 12th January 2026 joined by Static Dress & Stick To Your Guns.The long wait since their breakthrough in 2020 with the long player “Chapter 3: The Last Selection” and the neckbreaker “Fear & Dagger” has been worth it. The guys from Zurich have destroyed everything that wasn’t nailed down. Whether it was their last US tour as direct support for The Ghost Inside or the nearly sold-out tour with West Coast outfit Lionheart – they have firmly established themselves in the NU – and Deathcore scene.

Formed in 2017 around the distinctive and charismatic singer Marc “Zelli” Zelleger, the band has also made a name for themselves with sold-out US tours. Naturally, the question arises as to why they haven’t played a EU headlining tour until now. The answer is here and it includes 29 dates!

Zelli’s comment on the announcement:

“We have waited so long to do our first proper EU headline tour… I am so happy and excited that we can finally do this. I’d love to be sitting on the tour bus tomorrow. But like cheese, it needs to mature well hahaha!”
