AVATAR is soon to unleash an extravaganza 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.
The journey commences this summer when the band embarks 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.
