Avatar announces 2026 headline tour in Europe & UK

Ladies and Gentlemen, Freaks and Friends… roll up, roll up and prepare yourselves for a night to be torn apart with AVATAR.  Bringing a brand-new spectacle of devilish drama, the beating black heart of AVATAR is soon to unleash an extravaganza for your delectation and delight across the frozen wastes of Northern Europe, its central plains and its southern shores, travelling through the United Kingdom as it sets fire to hearts and minds in 2026.

“We are heavy addicts!” proclaims our Swedish ringmaster Johannes Eckerström. “For all the praise we’ve gotten for what we do on stage, we can’t shake the feeling that we have only just begun. Therefore, this tour is set to break every record and boundary of our past travels. I am not just talking about size. Everything must be better than ever. It’s what we live for, and what we promise.”

The journey commences this summer when the band embark on a sixteen-date run with heroes of metal, Iron Maiden, bringing their dark carnival to arenas and stadiums across the continent. And then they unfurl their brand-new vision in Mexico City with their own enormous headline show ‘Noche De Brujas’ to thousands of fans on Halloween, ahead of Mexico’s famed Dia de los Muertos.

This will be the first taste of AVATAR’s stunning new live production ahead of an impending world tour that will see Johannes Eckerström lead his troupe of musical warriors John Alfredsson, Jonas Jarlsby, Henrik Sandelin, and Tim Öhrström around the globe. Featuring songs old and new from across the band’s career, this will be AVATAR as you have never seen them before, playing some of the biggest shows of their 25-year career – including a landmark show on Valentine’s Night at one of London’s newest venues, The Exhibition, situated in a Grade II listed building in White City.
