KING DIAMOND will embark on a long-awaited North American headlining tour this Fall! The Saint Lucifer's Hospital 1920 trek will commence on October 15th in San Antonio, Texas and run through December 6th in Dallas, Texas. Support will be provided by OVERKILL and NIGHT DEMON. Additional backing vocals for the KING DIAMOND set will be provided by special guest, Myrkur.
Elaborates KING DIAMOND on what fans can expect, "This is Saint Lucifer's Hospital, enter if you dare! We have been busy putting this ever-growing horror story together, and it's still growing. I know the end of it, but how we will get there will be a long trip. There are so many characters, and so many unexpected things along this journey. It's a crazy family on another timeline in 1920, where I experienced some hard times, and they have to come to our time to steal from us to survive. This is the most elaborate thing we have ever done, that goes for the stage production as well.
There will be additional backing vocals by Myrkur and she'll be playing organ for songs that need it. There will be some horrific surprises taking place on stage, but we are not to be held responsible since we are on a whole different timeline in 1920. It was back at the time when medicine was going through a dark period with lots of testing on human beings in order to progress medicine. This is Saint Lucifer's Hospital, also known as The Institute, enter if you dare!"
Artist presales begin Wednesday, July 31st at 10:00am ET. General on sale date is this Friday, August 2nd at 10:00am local time. Secure your tickets at kingdiamondcoven.com.

KING DIAMOND's thirty+ year musical career is one of the most storied in the history of heavy metal, but the tale is not yet over. The most recent release, 2007's Grammy nominated album Give Me Your Soul...Please, stands as one of the most critically acclaimed albums in an already iconic discography. Future albums will feature entirely new horror stories, concepts, haunting orchestrations, and the band's signature brand of heavy metal from the mind of KING DIAMOND and the talented group of musicians: guitarists Andy LaRocque and Mike Wead, bassist Pontus Egberg, and drummer Matt Thompson. KING is currently in the studio working on the band's next album which will be released in 2025.
