Sylosis – have just announced a headline show at The Academy, Dublin

UK metal power house Sylosis have just announced a headline Academy, Dublin show for Sunday, 22nd February 2026 joined by special guests Revocation, Distant & Life Cycles.

Sylosis are one of the UK’s most formidable modern metal acts-an unrelenting force known for their razor-sharp thrash riffs, soaring melodic passages, and progressive songwriting. Emerging from Reading in the early 2000s, the band quickly earned a reputation as scene heavy-weights, fuelling a career spanning over two decades.

Featuring Josh Middleton(lead guitar & vocals),Ali Richardson(drums),Conor Marshall (guitar), and Ben Thomas(bass), Sylosis have earned their place as a vital, uncompromising voice in modern heavy music. With countless tours, festival appearances and consistently fierce new material under their belts, the future is theirs

Sylosis stated: “This is it. 5 years of building towards a UK/EU headline tour with a bill that we are truly proud of. We’ve been touring hard for the last few years and never been stronger as a unit. This is our time to step it up and show everyone what a Sylosis show is all about. Revocation are true legends of the genre and it’s an honour to have them as a part of this. Distant are one of the hardest working heavy bands out there and rounding off the bill is one of our favourite bands to emerge out of the US in recent years, Life Cycles. We love heavy music and have put together a true showcase of modern metal. If you consider yourself a fan of all things heavy, this is a tour that you simply cannot miss. We’ll see you next year.”
