It’s looking like 2026 is going to be a crazy busy year for Hunnu rock outfit The Hu, who after already promoting two North American tours — one co-headlining with Apocalyptica and another supporting Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson — they’ve announced a headlining E.U. and U.K. tour as well.

Set to kick off on September 29 in Glasgow, Scotland and coming to an end on October 31 in Esch-Sur-Alzette, Luxembourg, the tour will see The Hu and supporting act SKÁLD play a range of venues across multiple countries. Some stops along the way include Dublin, Brussels, Berlin, and Paris, just to name a few.

“What is up our UK and Europe fans? It has been a while since we came to you. Our new setlist is full of hope and energy and as usual The Hu fashion, we will have brand new performance with fiery attitude. Come to our long-awaited shows and let’s have some fun together!”
