Trivium comment: “We’re beyond stoked to be joining forces with our longtime friends In Flames once again for another legendary run across Europe and the UK. With Paleface Swiss and Vola joining us, this is going to be one hell of a bill. A new era of Trivium is about to begin. We’ll see you out there.”

In Flames add: “We are excited to return to Europe with our old friends in Trivium! Paleface Swiss and Vola round out an amazing bill. You don’t want to miss this epic night of metal coming YOUR way! See you soon…”

The announcement follows Trivium’s singer/guitarist Matt Heafy taking the stage with In Flames at the Swedish band’s Gothenburg festival, Goteborg Brinner, last weekend. The frontman sang their 1996 song Artifacts Of The Black Rain.

Last month, the two bands announced a run of North American shows together, with Trivium headlining and In Flames special guest. With Orbit Culture, Fit For An Autopsy and Frozen Soul supporting, the tour will make its way across the US and Canada in November and December this year.

Trivium teased the “unofficial start” of their “next era” with the announcement of their North American shows. They haven’t released an album since 2021’s In The Court Of The Dragon but have been working on new music in 2026. Their upcoming, 11th record will be their first with new drummer Alex Rudinger (ex-Whitechapel).

Meanwhile, In Flames continue to tour in promotion of their 2023 album, Foregone. It marked the band’s return to their melodic death metal sound, following many years exploring alt-metal and electronic textures.

Trivium’s Heafy has spoken multiple times about the influence In Flames have had on him and his bandmates. After his Goteborg Brinner appearance, he wrote on social media: “We’ve toured with In Flames six times now since 2005; and it’s been amazing to be able to go from a super fan, to a peer, to close friends.”
