Behemoth and Arch Enemy announce co-headline European tour

BEHEMOTH and ARCH ENEMY have announced a co-headlining European tour!

Set to take place from September to November next year, the tour will see the two bands joining forces for a massive run across mainland Europe and the UK. Support for the tour comes from CARCASS and UNTO OTHERS.

These dates will be BEHEMOTH‘s first UK shows since their special guest appearance on SLIPKNOT’s sold out UK arena tour earlier this year. For ARCH ENEMY, it will be their first UK dates since their special guest slot on AMON AMARTH‘s run across the UK in 2019.

Speaking about the tour, frontman Nergal says, “after more than a year’s break from live music, we can think of no better homecoming to our beloved Legions than delivering to you a performance of new music and an event for the ages: The European Siege – a crushing combination of CARCASS, ARCH ENEMY and BEHEMOTH. We also proudly present the uniquely brilliant, UNTO OTHERS who will warmly welcome you to this night of metal magic!” 

ARCH ENEMY’s founder and guitarist, Michael Amott adds, “as we’ve been going through these troubled and challenging times lately, I think we all need something to look forward to. A reason to believe, right? Well….this is it!! The European Siege tour, featuring ARCH ENEMY, BEHEMOTH, CARCASS and UNTO OTHERS is undoubtedly the ultimate metal tour of 2021 – see you there!”
