Multi platinum outfits Breaking Benjamin and Chevelle have revealed a summer 2026 European and UK tour that is shaping up to be one of next year’s most anticipated rock runs. The coheadlining trek spans from early June through mid July, kicking off on June 9 in Leipzig, Germany and concluding on July 17 in London, UK with stops across continental Europe and the British Isles including Hamburg, Berlin, Warsaw, Milan, Paris, Amsterdam, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, Manchester and more. Tickets for the nonfestival shows go on sale Monday, December 15. Fans can expect both bands to deliver powerful sets that draw from deep catalogs as well as recent creative milestones.
For Chevelle, this tour arrives in the wake of their latest album Bright As Blasphemyreleased in August 2025 and widely discussed throughout the rock community this year. The album is the band’s shortest and most concentrated release to date and was self-produced by Pete Loeffler in the band’s own studio. It also marks their first project since leaving Epic Records for Alchemy Recordings, giving them a renewed sense of independence and creative control. Bright As Blasphemy moves fluidly between aggressive alt metal and spacious, moody atmospherics. The album blends Chevelle’s signature heaviness with experimental pedals, dynamic layering and new textures that push their sound forward while still preserving what longtime listeners expect. Critically, it has been praised for sharpening their established identity while giving them room to expand.
Breaking Benjamin enters this tour with momentum as well, thanks to the steady progress on their long-awaited new studio album. After years without a full record since 2018’s Ember, the band returned in October 2024 with “Awaken,” their first new single in five years and the lead sign of a larger project ahead under their new label BMG. “Awaken” delivered the melodic heaviness and emotional weight the band has made their trademark. In recent months Ben Burnley and the band have posted multiple updates from the studio, including confirmation that Jasen Rauch was tracking vocals and working closely with Burnley on shaping the record.
The 2026 Europe and UK dates are also notable from a logistical standpoint as Ben Burnley has previously been open about his fear of flying, which has historically made overseas touring a challenge, but the band’s commitment to the tour underscores how significant this run will be for fans across the region.
