Emperor Announces First North American Tour In 26 Years

Blog author:  Alex Stojanovic

It's always exciting when a legendary band announces a tour, but it's even more exciting when that legendary band announces a tour of a corner of the world for the first time in so many years.  Since reforming in 2016, Emperor have been playing on and off mainly at festivals in Europe and other parts of the world and not doing lengthy tours.

After hearing the constant cries from North American fans for some more shows, they answered the call, and they have just announced that they will be doing their first North American tour since 1999 in the spring of 2026 dubbed Emperial Wrath.

It is a very short tour lasting for only 12 shows, which means if they're not hitting your city, you're gonna have to do a road trip.  The tour will begin on March 27 here in Toronto and hitting several major markets like Montreal, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Minneapols, Chicago, Nashville, and Austin before wrapping up on April 12 in Los Angeles.  On top of that, they have enlisted the special guest services of Blood Incantation.  Tickets go on sale this Friday, November 21 at 10 AM local time.

Are you excited to see Emperor's long-awaited return to North America?!  You better be!!  See the dates down below.
