Faroe Islands-based folk metal collective TYR will return to North American stages next Spring. The Battle Ballads headlining tour, named in honor of their upcoming new full-length of the same name, begins March 28th in Baltimore, Maryland and makes its way through over two dozen cities, coming to a close on April 26th in Greensboro, North Carolina. Support will be provided by TROLLFEST, AETHER REALM, and THE DREAD CREW OF ODDWOOD. The tour marks TYR's first North American run since 2019.
Comments the band, "It is with great joy that we announce our return to the US and Canada. It's been too long, and we have missed the people, the cities, and the vast landscapes dearly. It warms our heathen hearts to think that we will soon see all your familiar faces again, and probably, hopefully, a few people we have not seen before. We will bring our lighthearted neighbors, TROLLFEST from Norway, with us, as well as your metal compatriots, AETHER REALM, and THE DREAD CREW OF ODDWOOD. See you soon!"
Tickets go on sale this Friday, November 24th, at 12:00pm EST/9:00am PST. See all confirmed dates below.

Last March, TYR released A Night At The Nordic House (With The Symphony Orchestra Of The Faroe Islands), a special event recorded in February of 2020. "Working with the Symphony Orchestra was without a doubt one of the highlights of our careers," noted vocalist Heri Joensen. "The feeling of sheer sophisticated power behind us was extraordinarily uplifting. We were awed by how well the songs worked in a symphonic setting. We are very excited to finally release a live [double] DVD, CD and LP, and even with the incredible new artwork by Gyula Havancsak, that excellently captures the epic atmosphere of the event."
