Finnish folk metal veterans ENSIFERUM have announced their "Winter Storm Over North America 2026" tour — a September run through the United States and Canada with Greek power metal outfit FIREWIND as direct support.
Tickets went on sale April 24, 2026. The trek kicks off at ProgPower USA XXV in Atlanta on September 9 (FIREWIND not on that date) and wraps in Seattle on September 27.
FIREWIND is fronted by guitarist Gus G, best known for his decade-long tenure as Ozzy Osbourne's lead guitarist, making this a stacked double bill for fans of both folk and power metal.
ENSIFERUM bassist Sami Hinkka teased the band's ongoing recording sessions, hinting at a new album that sounds nothing like anything they've done before: "This was quite different to the previous albums... that was really a kick in the balls."
