Swedish extreme metal pioneers Meshuggah will celebrate their 40th anniversary in 2027 with The Forty-Year Anomaly, a 20 date headline tour of Europe and the UK that takes them to some of the biggest stages of their career.
Founded in Umeå in 1987, Meshuggah have changed the vocabulary of heavy music. Their polymetric riffs, displaced accents and extended range guitars have shaped generations of progressive and technical metal bands. Albums from Destroy Erase Improve, Chaosphere and Nothing through to obZen, Koloss and 2022’s Immutable have built a body of work few bands can match. Immutable topped the UK Rock & Metal Albums chart.
Special guests on the tour are Periphery and Vildhjarta. The run ends at London’s OVO Arena Wembley on 30th October 2027, with stops in Dublin and Manchester just before.
UK and Ireland dates:
27th October: 3Arena, Dublin
29th October: Aviva Studios, Manchester
30th October: OVO Arena Wembley, London
The European leg begins in Copenhagen on 29th September and visits Rotterdam, Cologne, Frankfurt, Luxembourg, Hamburg, Berlin, Warsaw, Prague, Budapest, Vienna, Munich, Padova, Lyon, Madrid, Lisbon and Paris.
Tickets are on sale now.
