HEADLINE U.S. TOUR KICKS OFF NEXT MONTH
INTERNATIONAL TOURING SET THROUGH 2026, INCLUDING DATES SUPPORTING METALLICA
The heavy metal visionaries collectively known as AVATAR — vocalist Johannes Eckerström, guitarists Jonas Jarlsby and Tim Öhrström, bassist Henrik Sandelin, and drummer John Alfredsson — have finally unleashed their latest masterwork Don’t Go in the Forest. Listen and get the album HERE.
Avatar will hit the road for their massive North American headline run, beginning November 5 in Phoenix. All dates are below.
DON’T GO IN THE FOREST TRACK LISTING:
“Tonight We Must Be Warriors“
“In The Airwaves”
“Captain Goat”
“Don’t Go In The Forest”
“Death And Glitz”
“Abduction Song”
“Howling At The Waves”
“Dead And Gone And Back Again”
“Take This Heart And Burn”
“Magic Lantern”
Regarding the album, Eckerström has explained, “The secret ingredient is that we still feel like we’re just getting started. Don’t Go In The Forest is an album filled to the brim with stuff we’ve never done before. It’s all songs and concepts we haven’t been close to touch until now. The mind is wild and we have lost ourselves in the darkest woods, filled with memories, and fantasies. Forbidden thoughts that must be spoken.”
He furthered, “It would have been impossible to make this album at any other time than now. That’s all we ever wanted, and I think you’ll find it’s all you ever wanted too.”
Avatar’s growth and momentum has only accelerated in recent years. There’s the critically acclaimed, 2023-released album Dance Devil Dance, which included their first #1 at Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay, “The Dirt I’m Buried In.” There have been scores of sold-out headline shows across the globe, and an actual fossil named after them. The list goes on and on.
Avatar will spend the foreseeable future (if not forever) on the road. See below for a complete rundown of the band’s planned tour activity for the next two years.
Avatar shows no sign of pausing to take a breath in their quest for absolute world domination — much less stopping.
