DragonForce have announced their largest North American tour in more than two decades. In celebration of the 20th Anniversary of their monumental album, Inhuman Rampage – the record that birthed the Platinum-selling global phenomenon of “Through the Fire and Flames,” and spent 23 consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200 – the cross-country run will soon bring the world’s fastest band to 22 cities this November and December, with support from Ensiferum and Rhapsody of Fire.
Beginning at San Diego’s Observatory on Friday, November 13th, dates will stretch from New York City’s Palladium Times Square to Chicago’s Riviera Theatre, Los Angeles’ Wiltern, and beyond, further marking 2026 as the start of DragonForce’s biggest, boldest, and most electrifying era yet.
Following this month’s earth-shattering announcement of Alissa White-Gluz as their new vocalist and first frontwoman, DragonForce previewed the forthcoming tour with two festival performances at Welcome To Rockville and Sonic Temple. But with White-Gluz at the helm, this fall will see sets that are as exhilarating as they are technically breathtaking, filled with even more time-warping precision, spectacular set design, hits from Inhuman Rampage, and an early taste of their impending studio album.
Public on-sale for DragonForce‘s Inhuman Rampage 20th Anniversary Tour begins at 10 am local time this Friday, May 29th, with Citi and artist presales starting at 12 pm ET today. See the full list of dates below, and find tickets at this location.
As the preeminent pioneers of extreme power metal, now joined by one of metal’s legendary vocalists, DragonForce have welcomed tens of millions of listeners into the fold through the seismic history of Inhuman Rampage and their eternally joyous, adrenaline-filled music. Founded in 1999 and based between Los Angeles and London, they have rewritten the rules of heavy metal while redefining the possibilities of their respective instruments.
“Alissa joining the band is an expansion of everything we’ve done up to this point,” said DragonForce co-founder and lead guitarist Herman Li, at the time of White-Gluz‘s announcement. “Twenty years is a long time to do anything, let alone survive the music industry and still be so inspired to continue doing what we love. Together, we will honor what made Inhuman Rampage matter, while showing people exactly where we’re going next. Having Alissa in the room changes everything. She doesn’t just sing, she makes all aspects of our music better. And she sounds incredible live! I can’t wait for the fans to see her and hear what we have been working on.”
“As a long-time fan of DragonForce, having seen them in concert multiple times over the last 20 years, I am beyond excited to be bringing such iconic music to life with these amazingly skilled musicians in such a fun and inspiring environment,” said Alissa White-Gluz, whose ferocious, melodic theatricality and creative fearlessness spans 15+ hours of recorded music, 60+ music videos, 40+ collaborations and 2,000+ concerts across a myriad of subgenres.
“It feels great to showcase all the colours of my voice in technically challenging, deeply energizing, highly addictive songs. Creating and performing with musicians who deeply care about the music and concerts as much as I do is so refreshing. Plus, with Blue Medusa going full throttle and gaining so much momentum in parallel, I feel like I am permanently in the creative zone, which is exactly where I want to be! I am so thankful for the amazing support I have been lucky enough to receive from the metal world; I want to keep pushing my boundaries and delivering exceptional music and live experiences to the fans that we cherish so much.”

Last week, the late Ozzy Osbourne’s family announced ghoulish plans for an interactive AI hologram version of the rock icon. By way of selling this enterprise, Ozzy’s widow Sharon Osbourne said, “You can ask Ozzy anything, and he will answer you in his own voice, and the answers will be what Ozzy would have said. We’re going to take it all around the world. People can talk to him and he will talk back.” That sucks! Don’t do that!

Progressive metal titans Periphery have officially announced the “A Pale White Dot” Fall 2026 U.S. Tour. Coming off the heels of their eighth studio album release on May 15, the band is set to bring their “djent” mastery and technical precision to 20 cities across North America.
Joining them for the trek are Australian progressive powerhouses Ne Obliviscaris, Greyhaven, and Ando San, making this one of the most anticipated technical metal bills of the year. The tour, produced by Live Nation, kicks off October 22 at The Fillmore Philadelphia and marks the band’s first full stateside run since the arrival of their critically acclaimed new record.
The announcement follows the release of A Pale White Dot via 3DOT Recordings earlier this month. The album has already made waves in the progressive scene, featuring singles like “Mr. God” and “Heaven on High.” Notably, the record represents a shift for the band, marking their first departure from self-titled numerical naming conventions since 2015’s Juggernaut dual-release.
Known for a live show that balances chaotic technicality with Spencer Sotelo’s soaring melodic range, Periphery is expected to debut a setlist heavy on new material while keeping staples like “Icarus Lives!” and “Passenger” in rotation.
Fans looking to snag tickets for the 20-city run should prepare for a high-velocity onsale.
