Metal titans Trivium and In Flames have officially announced an extensive co-headlining tour across the United Kingdom and Europe scheduled for 2027. This major tour follows a recently revealed North American run for the two bands, solidifying a significant global collaboration for the upcoming year.
Extensive Tour Plans Unveiled
The highly anticipated 2027 tour is set to commence on March 29th in Dublin, Ireland, with a performance at the 3Arena. Following the Irish date, the tour will make its way through several UK cities, including Glasgow, Manchester, London, and Cardiff, within the first week of April. The European leg of the tour is slated to begin on April 6th in Brussels, Belgium. The itinerary includes performances in major European capitals and cities such as Paris, Hamburg, Berlin, Prague, and Vienna, before concluding on May 7th in Katowice, Poland.
This joint tour represents a substantial undertaking for both bands, promising fans a series of high-energy performances. The collaboration builds on previous successful tours and shared stages, indicating a strong relationship between the two established metal acts.
Supporting Acts and Ticket Information
Joining Trivium and In Flames for all dates on the UK and European tour will be special guests Paleface Swiss and Vola. The inclusion of these supporting acts promises a diverse and compelling lineup for metal enthusiasts.
Ticket sales for the general public are scheduled to begin on Friday, August 28th, at 10:00 AM CEST (9:00 AM BST). A pre-sale period for tickets will commence on Wednesday, August 26th, offering fans an earlier opportunity to secure their attendance.
Band Statements on the Collaboration
Both bands expressed considerable enthusiasm regarding the upcoming tour. Trivium shared their excitement about reuniting with their long-time friends, In Flames, for what they anticipate will be a legendary series of shows across Europe and the UK. They highlighted the addition of Paleface Swiss and Vola, emphasizing the strength of the combined lineup and hinting at a new chapter for Trivium.
In Flames echoed these sentiments, expressing eagerness to return to Europe and share the stage with Trivium once more. They also praised the supporting acts, Vola and Paleface Swiss, and assured fans that the tour would deliver an unforgettable night of metal music.
Tour Headliner Dynamics
The billing for the tour will see Trivium performing as headliners with In Flames as special guests throughout the UK and Ireland. However, this arrangement will shift for the Scandinavian leg of the tour, where In Flames will take the final headline slot, with Trivium as special guests. This dynamic billing reflects the distinct fan bases and positions of each band within the metal scene.
Recent Activities and Future Music
The announcement of this major tour comes after a period of significant activity for both bands. In Flames released their latest album, ‘Foregone,’ in 2023. Trivium’s most recent studio album, ‘In The Court Of The Dragon,’ was released in 2021. However, Trivium has been actively teasing new music, with indications of new material potentially arriving in 2026, following the release of a four-track EP in 2025. This tour will likely feature a mix of established hits and potentially new material from both bands.
The collaboration was further underscored recently when Trivium frontman Matt Heafy joined In Flames on stage during their performance at the Goteborg Brinner festival. Heafy performed their song ‘Artifacts Of The Black Rain’ with the band, showcasing the strong camaraderie between the musicians.
