A shroud of sound and shadow is set to descend upon Europe this late spring, as Abigail Williams (US) announce their long‑awaited return to the continent for a run of live performances across May and June. Renowned for their evocative fusion of black metal and cinematic intensity, the band will once again bring their immersive sonic landscapes to audiences throughout the UK, Ireland, and mainland Europe.
Having spent recent years refining their sound into something ever more expansive and haunting, Abigail Williams continue to stand as one of the most distinctive voices in modern extreme metal. This forthcoming tour promises to channel that evolution into a live setting—an experience as enveloping as it is unrelenting.
For the mainland European leg, the band will be joined by Dutch act Shagor, whose raw, obscure strain of black metal provides a fitting counterpoint, deepening the atmosphere of each night. Together, the two bands will shape a sequence of performances steeped in darkness, tension, and intensity.
Divided into two distinct chapters, the tour will first traverse the UK and Ireland with a select run of exclusive Abigail Williams shows, including an appearance at Fortress Festival. The journey will then continue across mainland Europe, where Shagor will join as main support for a series of carefully chosen dates, culminating in a final gathering in the Netherlands. Link
