Fresh off the release of the driving new single “Lest We Fall” and a string of strong live dates alongside Heaven Shall Burn and The Black Dahlia Murder, melodic death metal outfit The Halo Effect have confirmed plans for a European tour in 2027.
The Swedish band, whose members helped shape the Gothenburg sound during the 1990s, will headline shows across Europe in February and March. They’ll be joined by special guests Lacuna Coil, with Omnium Gatherum opening the run.
Artist exclusive presale starts tomorrow, Thursday, April 16, followed by the general on-sale beginning Friday, April 17. Check for tickets here.
The Halo Effect guitarist Niclas Engelin says: “Halos in Europe, we can’t wait to be back on the road in 2027! This time we bring the almighty Lacuna Coil and Omnium Gatherum with us, who we have been friends with for a long time. We look forward to an amazing time with you all!”
Since breaking through in 2021 with the track “Shadowminds”, The Halo Effect have remained a consistent name in modern death metal. Their lineup features vocalist Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquillity), guitarists Jesper Strömblad (represented live by The Haunted‘s Patrik Jensen) and Niclas Engelin, bassist Peter Iwers, and drummer Daniel Svensson. Together, they lean into the melodic foundation they helped establish while layering in newer elements like orchestral textures and atmospheric keys.
