In the organizer's words:

Prepare your oars, for the Allfather awakens!

Swedish Viking metal titans Amon Amarth will embark on a monumental live offensive in the fall of 2026, taking the UK and Europe by storm. The all-Swedish invasion will be flanked by up-and-coming death metal powerhouse Orbit Culture and legendary melodic death metallers Soilwork - together they will unleash the full force of The Allfather Awakens Tour!

After a triumphant summer on the high seas - with shows alongside Slayer in Cardiff and London as well as a US tour with Pantera - Amon Amarth return with a completely new, spectacular stage production: The loyal following can expect a production full of ritual and fire, carried by an extended stage set that will make even the biggest halls tremble.

The campaign begins on October 9th in Manchester and from October 13th the tour continues across Europe: from France, Luxembourg, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Poland, Hungary, Austria and the Czech Republic to Italy, Switzerland, Spain and Portugal. See below for tour dates.

On the occasion of their numerous gigs last summer, Amon Amarth released their powerful new single "We Rule the Waves" and the accompanying video, the first new song in years. But that was just the prelude:

At the end of 2026, the band will release a new album that will consistently continue their musical development and impressively demonstrate why Amon Amarth have been a force to be reckoned with in international metal for years.

About Amon Amarth:

From pole to pole and across all oceans, Amon Amarth are the undisputed kings of Viking Heavy Metal. Founded in 1992 in Tumba, Sweden, the band has created an impressive musical legacy over three decades with their anthemic metal, rich in the magical symbolism of Viking history, folklore and culture.

Since their debut album Once Sent From The Golden Hall (1998), Amon Amarth have been an unstoppable creative force. With a unique and unmistakable sound that combines the best of various epic metal styles, the quintet is known for its timeless anthems and explosive, theatrical live shows. With albums such as 2008's highly acclaimed Twilight Of The Thunder God and 2016's conceptual and German gold-winning Jomsviking , the Swedes have continued to set new standards for heavy metal as a life-affirming and communal experience.

After all these years of hard work, Amon Amarth are now regarded as one of the most explosive and imposing live acts in the metal world. From headlining festivals across Europe to Slayer 's farewell tour in the US in 2019 and UK in 2025, they have lived up to the adventurous ethos of their Viking ancestors and taken their music to the big wide world.

As one of the world's most popular metal bands, Amon Amarth are also uncompromisingly committed to the highest standards in the studio. Recorded under the direction of renowned producer Andy Sneap, their latest album The Great Heathen Army marks another confident step forward: their characteristic sound has once again undergone a precise development - both lyrically and musically. From the raucous, incendiary energy of "Find a Way or Make One" to the powerful punch of "Get in the Ring" , the insistent fury of "Saxons & Vikings" and the cinematic impact of the title track, "The Great Heathen Army" captures the essence of this legendary band while creating space for new ideas
