The Swedish theatrical Heavy Metal outfit will hit the road across the UK and Europe from 20 November through to 19 December 2026, beginning in Wolverhampton and concluding in Wroclaw, Poland. Danish death Metal band Neckbreakker will provide support across all dates.

French experimental metal project Igorrr will return to Dublin for a headline show at The Academy on Thursday, 12 November 2026. The band will be joined by Swedish group Shining and Miami electronic artist Otto von Schirach.

Archspire, Crown Magnetar, The Zenith Passage, Analepsy

Dublin | The Academy

Urne with support from The Grey, Moon Reaper

23 Dublin The Grand Social
24 Belfast Voodoo

Well, I had a great time, missed Noctem but the other 2 were great, crowd was in good form, merch was good. Only downside was the whole thing finished at 9.45, no idea why, were Whelans going to use that space for a club after? 

tomorrow night, looking forward to this

Eyehategod are coming to Ireland the week after Damnation. With Wormrot as support.
Might see 1 or 2 others pop over

Would love Satyricon to show up here while they over for that.

Health,Eyehategod and WITTR must have all played these shores at least twice in the last 5 years it feels like and as you allude to Crowbar are the Doom/sludge equivalent of Nile Rogers may aswell take up residence.

I think the price is nuts myself close to 200 euros?

Yeah it's about 200, it's a little pricey but I just paid 53 euro for Clutch in the Academy so in that context it's ok. It was very well organised last year and the venue is good

I liked all their stuff. I think i love the Mercian Sphere the best. The Threnody of Triumph is also great.

A Valley Thick With Oaks is an incredible song. They did it live in Opium, Dublin about 3 or 4 years ago and it was perfect.

Came here to see if anyone posted about it.
I have tickets and delighted with the new headliners. Haven't seen CoL and Satyricon before so that's great. Despite Crowbar being here a lot, I kept missing them, so that's a nice bonus. Igorr I have only heard a couple of tracks but it looks suitably mad.
For the previous announcement, I was already pretty happy with Eyehategood and WITTR and a few of the smaller bands look great too (Rwake, Dodsrit etc)

Also playing Dublin the night before

Think it's only Alien Ant Farm supporting on the Irish dates. Not sure if that's better or worse.

Oops, missed that - I have edited the OP - thanks

They have a knack for writing catchy songs, every album has 3 bangers on it.

If you can't enjoy the Newport Helicopter, you're missing out
