Avatar Announce Spring 2026 Headline Tour

Tue, January 13, 2026 at 10:19 AM

The heavy metal visionaries collectively known as AVATAR - vocalist Johannes Eckerstr m, guitarists Jonas Jarlsby and Tim hrstr m, bassist Henrik Sandelin, and drummer John Alfredsson - unleashed their latest masterwork Don't Go in the Forest last year on Halloween - how fitting!

Avatar then hit the road for their massive North American headline run.

And that was just the beginning of their Herculean international touring schedule.

Avatar will spend the foreseeable future (if not forever) on the road.

Today, the band announces a Spring 2026 headline tour of North America. It kicks off on April 16 in Sacramento and runs through May 20 in Hampton Beach, NH. It includes stops at Welcome to Rockville and Sonic Temple.

Fleshgod Apocalypse and Frozen Soul will serve as support.

Regarding their return to the States, Eckerstr m offers, "USA. It started off innocently enough. Hiking along on a trail. Sunny. Pleasant. Safe. Then night came, and the trail slowly faded. You can't go back, as you don't know where you came from. You don't even dare to turn around, as you can feel someone, or something, watching. What you were, all the way back in the warm embrace of civilization, doesn't matter. Here. it's just you and the trees."

He adds, "We will be seeing you."

Tickets go on sale on Friday, January 16 at 10am local time.
