Last Friday officially kicked off the start of RIVERS OF NIHIL‘s 2026 European summer dates including shows in support of Queensrÿche along with headline and festival dates – the first being in Köln, Germany with Queensrÿche at Essigfabrik and concluding on July 2 in Lindau, Germany at Club Vaudeville. The run also sees RIVERS OF NIHIL performing on stages at Into The Grave Fest (NL), Hellfest Fest (FR), Graspop Metal Meeting (BE), and Tuska (FI). Full list of dates below.

In honor of this tour, RIVERS OF NIHIL have posted a live video performance of “Hellbirds” shot at a sold-out Tavastia in Helsinki, Finland, March 16, 2025 from the band’s headline run. A show we were at ourselves as well, check the photo gallery out here. Watch the live video HERE!

The band comments; “This live version of ‘Hellbirds’ comes from our 2025 EU headlining tour with Cynic, Beyond Creation, and Daath. We had a blast headlining in Helsinki for the first time and we are looking forward to playing for all of you again in a few weeks at Tuska!“
