Beast In Black - Resurrection Tour 2026

Beast In Black play the O2 Forum Kentish Town on Monday 26 October, with Sonata Arctica and Frozen Crown supporting. It's a full bill of Finnish and Italian metal, so you'll get three bands in one night rather than just the headliners.

Beast In Black are a Helsinki-based international heavy metal band. They describe their sound as a mix of powerful riffs, melodic hooks, and dance-metal energy, with the drama of 1980s pop and electronic music running through it. Lyrically they draw on dark fantasy and sci-fi, and they've been open about their passion for the manga Berserk.

Guitarist and songwriter Anton Kabanen started the band in 2015. Their debut album, Berserker (2017), and its follow-up, From Hell With Love (2019), both went platinum, and the video for 'Blind And Frozen' has passed 50 million views. Their third album, Dark Connection (2021), debuted at number one in Finland. Since then they've headlined across Europe, North and South America and Japan, and played festivals like Wacken Open Air, Hellfest and Graspop. In June 2024 they released Power Of The Beast, and in April 2025 they put out 'Enter The Behelit', a collaboration with Blizzard Entertainment's Diablo IV and Berserk.

Doors open at 19:00, and the curfew is 23:00, so the whole thing will be wrapped up by just before midnight on a Monday night.
