Credit: Tomas Gidén Ready your oars as the Allfather Awakens! Sweden’s Viking metal titans AMON AMARTH are pleased to share a huge string of live dates that'll see them splitting oceans and rowing their way through the UK and EU in Autumn 2026. The all-Swede invasion includes ransacking support from modern death metal up and comers Orbit Culture and classic melodic death metallers Soilwork on The Allfather Awakens tour. Hot off the back of a busy summer across the tumultuous high seas supporting Slayer in Cardiff and London and their U.S. live takeover with Pantera, these upcoming dates will see AMON AMARTH bringing an all new theatrical stage production and playing an extended headline set. The voracious quintet of heathens will begin their marauding in Manchester on 9th October before setting their sights on London on 10th October and Wolverhampton on 11th October. Their conquest of the EU on 13th October in France will be followed by stops in Luxembourg, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Poland, Hungary, Austria, Czech Republic, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, and Portugal. This is no fiendish trick forged by the mischievous Loki, watch the tour trailer below or on YouTube here. Tickets go on sale from 9am GMT / 10am CET on Friday 28th November at amonamarth.com/tour. The band recently celebrated a bountiful summer with a feast of a new single, 'We Rule The Waves,' and its accompanying video. Whilst this is AMON AMARTH's first new song in years, the latter end of 2026 will also see the berserkers unleash the wrath of Odin in the form of a brand new album. Carved from salt and steel, echoing across oceans, and sonically barbaric, modern metal doesn’t get more epic, or more essential, than this. More details coming soon.

ABOUT AMON AMARTH: From pole to pole and sea to sea, AMON AMARTH are the undisputed kings of Viking heavy metal. Formed in Tumba, Sweden, in 1992, they have forged an extraordinary legacy over three decades of thunderous, anthemic metal, all rich in the magical imagery of Viking history, folklore, and culture. From their underground smash debut Once Sent From The Golden Hall (1998) onwards, AMON AMARTH have been an unstoppable creative force. With a unique and unmistakable sound that combines the best of several epic strains of metal, the quintet have become renowned for their ageless anthems and explosive, theatrical live shows. With albums like 2008’s widely acclaimed Twilight Of The Thunder God and 2016’s conceptual triumph Jomsviking, the Swedes have been consistent standard bearers for heavy metal as a life-affirming and communal experience, armed with a seemingly endless stream of instant classic songs. Now reaping the rewards of all those years of hard work, AMON AMARTH are now regarded as one of the metal world’s most vital and imperious live acts. From headlining festivals across Europe to claiming a place on Slayer’s final tour(s) of the US in 2019 and the UK in 2025, they have honoured the adventurous ethos of their Viking forebears by taking their music anywhere and everywhere. One of the best-loved metal bands in the world, AMON AMARTH are firmly dedicated to aiming high when they hit the studio. Recorded with esteemed studio guru Andy Sneap at the controls, their most recent full-length, The Great Heathen Army, represents another bold leap forward for the band, as their trademark sound undergoes yet another skilful, evolutionary overhaul, both lyrically and musically. From the noisily rabble-rousing “Find A Way Or Make One” and the pummelling, pugilistic “Get In The Ring,” to the evocative fury of “Saxons & Vikings” and the cinematic squall of the title track, The Great Heathen Army encapsulates the essence of this legendary band, while still allowing acres of space for new ideas.
