Black Veil Brides announce a 14-date UK and European tour in January and February 2027 supporting their seventh album Vindicate. Tickets June 19
Black Veil Brides announced a 14-date UK and European headline tour on June 17, 2026, with dates running through January and February 2027 in support of Vindicate, their seventh studio album. The Cincinnati rock band dropped Vindicate earlier this month, a record built around singles “Bleeders,” “Hallelujah,” “Certainty,” and the title track, alongside “Revenger,” a collaboration with Machine Head’s Robb Flynn that represents one of the more muscular guest spots on any rock record this year. UK tickets go on sale Friday, June 19 at 10am BST. European tickets follow on Sunday, June 21 at 11am CEST.
The announcement follows a weekend slot at Download Festival 2026, Black Veil Brides’ highest-profile UK festival appearance in years. The band also played a handful of intimate warm-up shows around the festival, including a set at Liverpool’s Arts Club Theatre on June 16 and a date at The Dome in London on June 17, the same day the tour was confirmed. Those small-room performances alongside a Download slot represent the full range of where Black Veil Brides operate in 2026: still capable of working a club, still commanding a festival stage.
The UK Routing and the Brixton Closer
The UK leg opens at Barrowland in Glasgow on January 8, one of the most storied rock venues in Scotland and a room that has hosted everyone from David Bowie to Oasis. From Glasgow, the tour moves south through Newcastle’s O2 City Hall on January 10, O2 Academy Leeds on January 11, O2 Academy Bristol on January 12, O2 Academy Birmingham on January 14, and O2 Victoria Warehouse in Manchester on January 15 before closing at O2 Academy Brixton in London on January 16.
The Brixton closer is the UK leg’s commercial headline and its cultural anchor. O2 Academy Brixton holds 4,921 in its main room and carries a reputation as the room where UK rock acts prove their London draw. For Black Veil Brides, who have spent the better part of fifteen years building a genuinely international fanbase through consistent touring and a run of albums that have maintained audience loyalty across multiple lineup configurations, the Brixton date is the appropriate scale for where the band is in 2026.
Europe, Machine Head, and the Vindicate Campaign
Following the UK dates, Black Veil Brides move to mainland Europe. The European leg opens at 013 Poppodium in Tilburg, Netherlands, moves through Zurich’s X Tra, Vienna’s Raiffeisen Halle im Gasometer, and continues through Prague’s SaSaZu, Warsaw’s Klub Stodola, Wroclaw’s Centrum Koncertowe A2, and closes at Barba Negra in Budapest, Hungary on February 6.
Vindicate arrived with real commercial weight behind it. The title track generated significant streaming activity ahead of the album’s release, and “Revenger” with Robb Flynn extended the band’s reach into the Machine Head audience, a crossover that makes sense given how much sonic ground both acts share across their respective catalogs. Flynn told Metal Hammer ahead of the release: “Andy called me and played me the track and I was in immediately. It sounds exactly like what you’d want a Black Veil Brides and Machine Head track to sound like.” The 2027 tour is the live campaign that makes the commercial case for everything Vindicate set up.
