Imminence announce their biggest-ever headline tour across the UK and Europe in early 2027, with August Burns Red in support. Tickets on sale June 5
Imminence are stepping into a new era. The Swedish metalcore outfit, whose 2024 self-released album ‘The Black‘ earned them a sold-out night at London’s Camden Roundhouse last December, have announced their biggest headline run to date: a sweeping UK and European arena tour kicking off in January 2027 and running through February, with Pennsylvania metalcore veterans August Burns Red riding along as main support.
The tour launches January 8 in Gothenburg and spans 22 confirmed dates across 11 countries, hitting Paris’s Zenith, Vienna’s Gasometer, Berlin’s Columbiahalle, and a handful of German rooms the band have already proven they can fill. Imminence sold out both Cologne’s Palladium and Hamburg’s Inselpark Arena in 2025, but this run presses into territory the band have never occupied before: genuine headline arena status. In the UK, the band will play Manchester Academy on January 12 before landing at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on January 13. Several TBA dates are scattered throughout the routing, with tickets going on sale Friday, June 5.
“This is more than just another tour for us,” the band said in a statement. “It feels surreal to announce our return to Europe with our first-ever headlining arena shows, and sharing this moment with August Burns Red, a band that inspired us hugely from the very beginning, makes it even more meaningful.”
From Roundhouse to Arena: A Trajectory Built in Plain Sight
Fronted by vocalist and violinist Eddie Berg alongside guitarists Harald Barrett and Alex Arnoldsson, bassist Christian Höijer, and drummer Mikael Norén, Imminence have carved one of the more distinctive identities in modern metalcore, fusing ferocious Scandinavian heaviness with classical string arrangements in a way that reads less as gimmick and more as genuine compositional identity. Revolver’s readers flagged them as one of 2024’s most likely breakout acts before ‘The Black’ even dropped, and the album, self-produced by Berg, Barrett, and Henrik Udd, validated that instinct. Distorted Sound scored it 9 out of 10, writing that Imminence “aren’t just a band, they’re an experience” and that the record “cements their place within the metalcore hierarchy.”
The Roundhouse show in December 2025 was the clearest proof of trajectory. Playing to 3,000 people at capacity, with a string quartet on stage and a theatrical staging described as “a cathedral built for controlled emotional collapse,” the night confirmed that Imminence aren’t just a streaming quantity; they’re a live proposition with genuine emotional command over a room.
The pairing with August Burns Red adds a layer of generational resonance. The Lancaster, Pennsylvania band helped define the architecture of technical metalcore in the mid-to-late 2000s, and the fact that Imminence are now headlining above them is the kind of full-circle moment that reads clearly as a statement of arrival.
