DELAIN + Infected Rain

Over the last two decades, melodic-synth-metal-force DELAIN has established itself as an enduring force in modern melodic metal, known for its powerful songwriting, a distinctive musical identity, and a dynamic sound. Since the release of their debut album, Lucidity, twenty years ago, DELAIN has built a dedicated international following with albums such as April Rain, We Are the Others, The Human Contradiction, and more recent releases, including Dark Waters in 2023, which debuted at #9 on both the Official German Album Charts and the US Hard Music Albums chart, marking it the band’s most successful record to date.

Celebrating 20 years since the release of Lucidity, DELAIN is entering a new creative phase and officially kicking this off with the announcement of ten extraordinary live shows in February 2027. For this special tour, DELAIN will present a special format featuring a unique selection of high-profile guest musicians and vocalists, offering a memorable and varied live experience.

Among these special guests is Marko Hietala, whose long-standing connection with band mastermind Martijn Westerholt has resulted in some of DELAIN´s most iconic collaborations. His appearance on this tour marks a powerful reunion and a highlight for fans. Additional guest performers will be announced at a later stage.

With this exceptional run of shows, DELAIN invites audiences to experience its music in a new and exciting way – celebrating both its legacy and its future.
