UK grindcore pioneers ‘Napalm Death‘ kick off their “Campaign For Musical Destruction” tour across Europe this week. The highly anticipated 2026 edition features ‘Whiplash’, ‘Varukers’, and ‘Dopelord’ across 29 European dates starting January 30 in Cologne and wrapping March 1 in Birmingham.
The tour hits major cities across Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Sweden, Poland, the Netherlands, UK, and Ireland, bringing ‘Napalm Death”s relentless grindcore assault to venues from Paris’ Mondial du Tatouage to London’s Electric Ballroom.
Beyond the European dates, ‘Napalm Death’ have locked in an extensive international schedule for 2026. The band returns to Japan in late April for four shows before hitting the US festival circuit, including Welcome To Rockville Pre-Party in Daytona Beach and Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival in Columbus. European festival appearances include Basinfire Festival in Czech Republic, Abyss Festival in Switzerland, Roskilde Festival in Denmark, Barcelona Rock Fest, and Gothenburg Brinner Festival in Sweden.
