DIMMU BORGIR has announced a 10-date North American tour scheduled for August 2026, with support from HYPOCRISY, SUFFOCATION, and HULDER. The trek kicks off August 7 at Palladium Times Square in New York City and wraps up August 23 at The Novo in Los Angeles. Tickets go on sale Friday, April 17 at 10 a.m. local time.
The tour supports the band's upcoming album "Grand Serpent Rising", due May 22 via Nuclear Blast Records. Produced by Fredrik Nordstrom in Gothenburg, the album reunites DIMMU BORGIR with the man behind "Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia" and "Death Cult Armageddon".
Frontman Shagrath stated: "I truly feel we've outdone ourselves musically on this album. 'Grand Serpent Rising' reflects every era of DIMMU BORGIR. I believe our fans will recognize that, and find something within it that truly resonates."
Guitarist Silenoz added: "DIMMU BORGIR is a leviathan of a band on a grand scale and we are rising once again. The serpent symbolizes renewal, growth, knowledge, and liberation — shedding our skin."
The lead single "Ulvgjeld & Blodsodel" is already out, offering the first taste of the new record's orchestral brutality — watch the official music video below.
Note that on the New York (Aug. 7) and Worcester (Aug. 8) dates, SUFFOCATION will appear but HYPOCRISY will not. DIMMU BORGIR and BEHEMOTH will also co-headline the "In League With Satan" European tour in October 2026, with DARK FUNERAL as special guests.
