High On Fire to ignite Europe and the UK with fall headlining tour

Author Teemu Hakala - 2.5.2025

Brace yourselves, Europe—High On Fire is returning this fall! The Grammy-winning heavy metal power trio has announced a full-scale headlining tour across Europe, the UK, and Turkey in support of their scorching new album “Cometh the Storm”.

Fans can expect a sonic onslaught as the band hits the road with fellow riff-bringers Necrot joining them on most non-festival dates. And in true High On Fire fashion, the band had a fittingly thunderous message for fans: “Europe, take shelter; a storm is coming! Prepare thy ears! High on Fire draws near.”

The chaos kicks off on October 25 at the Samhain Festival in Maastricht, Netherlands. From there, the tour rolls through cities like Bruges, Berlin, Brno, Vienna, Munich, and Milan before storming through the UK with a major stop at London’s Electric Ballroom on November 6. The madness continues at Manchester’s Damnation Festival before wrapping up with blistering shows in Greece and Turkey.

“Cometh the Storm” marks the band’s return with a vengeance, and judging by this monster of a tour, High On Fire isn’t pulling any punches.
