Europe is in for an exceptionally rare treat: Xasthur has announced an extensive European tour set to run for a full month, sweeping across the continent from north to south and east to west throughout February and March 2026. The US‑based dark acid folk project, helmed by Scott Conner, will be joined on the road by Swedish instrumentalist Lukas Häger.
Xasthur's mastermind Scott Conner comments: "I'm very much looking forward to finally visiting and performing in Europe in February and March 2026 with Lukas Häger. I promise originality, complexity, and something unusual – for whatever that's worth. Variations on disharmony, and harmonizing with it".
The tour supports Xasthur's latest album, Disharmonic Variations, released in July 2024 via Lupus Lounge. See below for live dates.
