Swedish Power metal icons are taking Avenge the Fallen on a transatlantic run, with special guests Evergrey and Elvenking.
HammerFall is hitting the road again. Energized after the release of their latest album, Avenge the Fallen, the band has dropped the roadmap for their massive 2026 Freedom World Crusade. Not just a simple victory lap, but a full-scale transatlantic heavy metal assault spanning a whole continent.
The trek kicks off with a sprawling mid-September run that has HammerFall execute a dedicated North American stint. This U.S. and Canada engrossing tour will launch on September 12 and carve its way through the continent before wrapping up on October 8.
And our heroes are not alone. HammerFall has gathered their Gothenburg allies: progressive metal heavyweights Evergrey, alongside Italian folk-power veterans Elvenking as support. Fans of all three bands can expect genuine and memorable moments during the tour.
What to Expect on the Crusade
If you’ve been to a HammerFall gig in the last two decades, you already know the drill: towering amp stacks, pristine twin-guitar harmonies, frontman Joacim Cans commanding the room, and Oscar Dronjak dishing out electrifying tunes. While the band is touring in support of Avenge the Fallen, fans can expect a career-spanning setlist. You’re likely to hear the new material alongside mandatory, arena-shaking singalongs like “Hearts on Fire,” “Blood Bound,” and “Renegade.” It’s been nearly 30 years since Glory to the Brave helped put traditional heavy metal back on the map, and HammerFall is still out here stubbornly, proudly carrying the flag.
Get your Tickets while you still can
