Finnish heavy metal group Beast In Black have officially announced their 2026 European headlining tour. It will coincide with the release of their fourth studio album. The band is all set to hit the road with Sonata Arctica as special guests and Frozen Crown as support.
The newly scheduled trek will follow Beast In Black's run supporting Helloween on the "40 Years of Helloween" tour throughout 2025. The band also recently collaborated with Blizzard Entertainment and Berserk creator Kentaro Miura with their crossover single "Enter the Behelit."
Beast In Black were formed in 2015 by guitarist and songwriter Anton Kabanen. They emerged after Kabanen's exit from Battle Beast. The Helsinki-based band's debut album was Berserker (2017).
Beast In Black announced the upcoming tour via an official Instagram post, captioning;
"We’re beyond thrilled to announce our headlining European tour for the end of 2026, which will be the live presentation of the fourth Beast In Black album. Joining us on this epic journey are our special guests Sonata Arctica and our support act Frozen Crown. We could not be more excited to share the stage with such phenomenal bands."
The post continued:
"We promise you a show like no other from Beast In Black, and we guarantee a night you will always remember! 🔥 Some shows will be announced during our tour with Helloween, which starts this Friday. Stay tuned over the next two months to find out if your country and city are on the list! 🦁"
