"Our new setlist is full of hope and energy." Mongolian metal sensations The Hu announce their biggest UK and European tour ever

Mongolian folk metal masters The Hu have announced their biggest UK and European headline tour to date.

Starting in Glasgow on September 29, the tour will wrap up its UK leg in Norwich on October 11 before moving on to Europe from October 14, ending in Luxembourg on Halloween (October 31).

In a statement released by the band, The Hu said their new setlist is “full of hope and energy".

"As usual The Hu fashion, we will have brand new performance with fiery attitude," they add. "Come to our long-awaited shows and let’s have some fun together!”

Support for all dates comes from French Nordic folk group Skald.

This tour comes amidst a busy year ahead for the Mongolian band. In May, they will tour the US on a co-headline run with Apocalyptica, and will also support Iron Maiden at the band's special 50th anniversary gig at Knebworth in July.

While the band haven't officially announced a follow-up to 2022's Rumble Of Thunder, earlier this year they released the decidedly Maiden-flavoured single The Real You, hinting towards a stylistic shift for their next album.
