Following the release of their first symphonic live album, Opus Diabolicum (Napalm Records), Portuguese dark metal pioneers Moonspell are bringing their monumental orchestral production back to the stage. The band has confirmed exclusive performances with a full orchestra in Mexico and Bulgaria, alongside a Latin American tour beginning on 13 March.
The Mexican audience will be treated to a one‑off symphonic celebration of Opus Diabolicum, a live album acclaimed by fans and critics for its powerful fusion of dark metal and classical grandeur. Bulgaria will also host this spectacular orchestral event, offering another rare opportunity to experience Moonspell's music elevated by the scale and drama of a full classical arrangement.
In addition, Moonspell will embark on their Wolfheart and Other Stories: The Best of Moonspell Tour 2026, a special Latin American run honouring the legacy of their iconic debut Wolfheart and key chapters from their three‑decade career.
The tour includes Moonspell's first‑ever performance in Honduras and a long‑awaited return to Colombia, Costa Rica, Chile, Argentina and Brazil – territories the band has been connected to since first venturing into Latin America in 1998.
Fans can expect a setlist that extends well beyond Wolfheart, delving deep into Moonspell's catalogue with fan favourites, essential classics and carefully chosen deep cuts.
Fernando Ribeiro comments: "Moonspell is very happy to come back to this exclusive tour in Mexico and Latin America. We were one of the first European bands to venture into those territories back in 1998, and it feels great to play again to one of the most passionate crowds in the entire world. Mexico gets a one-off, selected orchestra show celebrating our successful live album, Opus Diabolicum, praised by fans and press all over the world. A show where the power of our dark metal is amplified by the magnitude of classical music. We then pack up and visit Honduras for the very first time while returning to Colombia, Costa Rica, Chile, Argentina and Brazil, to celebrate the three decades of our now legendary debut album Wolfheart. But we won't stop there, and after the hour of the wolf, we take our fans on a voyage into Moonspell's best songs, deep cuts and repertoire. A musical communion in a territory where we have always been so happy and fortunate to play since the late nineties".
