KREATOR are currently unleashing devastation across Europe on their massive "Krushers of the World" headline tour, supported by an absolutely stacked bill featuring CARCASS, EXODUS, and NAILS. The tour kicked off on March 20 at the MEO Arena in Lisbon, Portugal, and is set to run through April 25 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The tour supports KREATOR's 16th studio album "Krushers of the World", released on January 16, 2026 through Nuclear Blast Records. The album was produced by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden, with striking cover art created by acclaimed artist Zbigniew Bielak, known for his work with GHOST. The record has been hailed as one of the most ferocious entries in KREATOR's storied four-decade career.
The routing hits major cities across the continent, including London, Manchester, Glasgow, Paris — where the tour blazed through Le Zenith on March 24 — as well as Milan, Berlin, and Stockholm. With CARCASS bringing their surgical grindcore precision, EXODUS delivering Bay Area thrash fury, and NAILS adding their trademark powerviolence brutality, every night promises to be an absolute onslaught.
This marks one of the most formidable European touring packages assembled in recent memory. The combination of Teutonic thrash, British grindcore royalty, and American thrash and hardcore creates a bill that covers the full spectrum of extreme metal aggression. For fans who have waited years to see these four acts on one stage, the "Krushers of the World" tour is delivering on every front.
Remaining tickets for select dates are still available through local venue outlets and the bands' official websites.
