Avatar announce European tour
AVATAR have announced a headlining UK & EU tour!
The Swedish theatrical metal titans have announced a headlining UK and European tour set to take place throughout November and December 2026. The run comes in support of their latest album Don’t Go In The Forest, which is out now.
Following a monumental summer which sees the band supporting METALLICA on their global stadium tour – including a huge London Stadium show on July 5th – alongside major festival appearances and a run in Australia, AVATAR will close out the year on their own terms with an extensive headline trek across the UK and mainland Europe. Support on all dates will come from Danish death metal outfit NECKBREAKKER.
Speaking on the upcoming tour, frontman Johannes Eckerström shares, “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.”
Tickets go on general sale on Tuesday May 26th at 10am local time, with pre-sales running until May 25th at 11pm. Tickets are available now via the band’s official website.
