Polish blackened death metal act Behemoth are officially set to hit Australian stages once again in February 2026 as part of their 'Chant of the Eastern Lands' world tour.

"We are coming to set stages ablaze and leave no soul unscathed. This tour is a celebration of Behemoth's legacy and a testament to the unbreakable spirit of our fans. Expect chaos, fire, and a ritual like no other."
Behemoth took to its official Instagram page to announce the upcoming show dates, captioning:
"Chant Of The Eastern Lands. Legions! We RETURN to Asia and Australia next year with support from our friends in Nidhogg. Tickets on sale Monday 20th October"
