Canadian modern metal phenomenon SPIRITBOX have announced their "Tsunami Sea" European tour for September-October 2026, featuring special guests JINJER and DYING WISH on all dates. The run includes SPIRITBOX's first-ever U.K. arena headline shows — a remarkable milestone for a band that exploded from relative obscurity during the pandemic to become one of the defining voices of contemporary heavy music.
The tour follows a sold-out appearance at London's Alexandra Palace in 2025, which demonstrated the band's rapidly escalating live drawing power. Dates span Glasgow, Nottingham, Manchester, Cardiff, and London in the U.K. before moving to the continent for stops in Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Munich, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Amsterdam, and more — seventeen European dates in total that represent SPIRITBOX's largest international run to date.
The pairing with JINJER is particularly inspired. The Ukrainian metalcore powerhouse, fronted by the phenomenally talented Tatiana Shmayluk, shares SPIRITBOX's ability to blend crushing heaviness with accessible melody, creating a double bill that should satisfy both progressive-minded metal fans and those drawn to more visceral intensity. DYING WISH add further depth as an opening act, with their passionate hardcore-infused metalcore providing an ideal warm-up for the evening.
SPIRITBOX's meteoric rise continues to accelerate. The band earned a Best Metal Performance nomination at the 2026 Grammy Awards for "Soft Spine" and performed the track at the ceremony itself — a crowning moment for vocalist Courtney LaPlante and guitarist Mike Stringer. Their second album "Tsunami Sea" landed on virtually every major publication's year-end best-of list for 2025, and their upcoming summer stint as main support to EVANESCENCE across North America will further expand their audience.
Tickets go on sale February 27 at 10 a.m. U.K. time via Live Nation, and based on SPIRITBOX's recent track record of rapid sell-outs, fans are advised to act quickly.
