Two of extreme metal's most commanding live acts are joining forces. BEHEMOTH and DIMMU BORGIR have announced "In League With Satan," a European and UK co-headline tour set for October 2026, with Swedish black metal veterans DARK FUNERAL as special guests. The tour name, borrowed from the classic VENOM track, sets the tone for what promises to be one of the year's most unholy live packages.
Confirmed dates include Zurich on October 9, Zwickau on October 10, Luxembourg on October 11, Milan on October 13, Munich on October 14, Paris on October 16, Den Bosch on October 18, Cologne on October 20, Hamburg on October 22, Berlin on October 23, Brno on October 24, Helsinki on October 27, Stockholm on October 29, and Copenhagen on October 30.
The timing is especially significant for DIMMU BORGIR, whose 10th studio album is expected alongside the tour. It would be the Norwegian symphonic black metal institution's first new record in several years, making this tour a likely showcase for fresh material. Meanwhile, BEHEMOTH will be supporting their album "The Shit Ov God," continuing Nergal's tradition of provocative artistry and theatrical live performances.
With DARK FUNERAL rounding out the bill, every night of this tour offers three distinct but complementary visions of black metal — from DIMMU BORGIR's symphonic grandeur to BEHEMOTH's blackened death metal spectacle to DARK FUNERAL's unrelenting Swedish ferocity.
Tickets are expected to go on sale shortly. Given the combined drawing power of all three acts and the relative rarity of DIMMU BORGIR tour appearances, demand will be high. European fans of extreme metal should mark October in their calendars immediately.
