IN FLAMES + Special Guest: Trivium + Supports: Paleface Swiss, Vola

+ Supports: Paleface Swiss, Vola Two of modern metal's most influential bands, In Flames and Trivium, are embarking on a comprehensive European tour in spring 2027! On Thursday, April 29, they will perform at Oslo Spektrum, with Paleface Swiss and VOLA as special guests. In Scandinavia, In Flames will be the headliner, with Trivium as the special guest. Grammy-nominated In Flames, the Swedish metal pioneers and one of the founders of the melodic death metal genre and the so-called “Gothenburg sound,” are teaming up with Trivium for what is set to be one of next year's heaviest tours. Together, the two bands represent several decades of modern metal history – In Flames as a defining force in the genre, and Trivium as a key player in the 2000s. In Flames needs little introduction for Norwegian metal fans. Since their inception in 1990, the Swedes have established themselves as one of the world's largest metal bands. With 14 studio albums, millions of records sold, and tours alongside names like Black Sabbath, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Judas Priest, and Slayer, the band has built an enormous international fan base. Ever since their debut Lunar Strain in 1994, the interplay of melodic guitars, powerful vocals, and continuous musical evolution has been the core of the band's distinctive expression. Fronted by vocalist and guitarist Matthew K. Heafy, alongside guitarist Corey Beaulieu, bassist Paolo Gregoletto, and drummer Alex Rüdinger, Trivium has been one of the most stable and prominent forces in the metal scene for over two decades. The breakthrough album Ascendancy was crowned “Album of the Year” by Kerrang!, certified gold in the UK, and has surpassed half a million copies sold worldwide. Since then, the band has secured additional gold and silver certifications, six consecutive top 25 placements on the Billboard 200, and over 250 million streams. The 2025 EP Struck Dead offered a taste of new music, and with Rüdinger on drums, the tour marks the beginning of a new chapter for the band. In Flames comments on the tour: “We are excited to return to Europe with our old friends in Trivium! Paleface Swiss and Vola round out an amazing bill. You don’t want to miss this epic night of metal coming YOUR way! See you soon…” Trivium adds: “We’re beyond stoked to be joining forces with our longtime friends In Flames once again for another legendary run across Europe and the UK. With Paleface Swiss and VOLA joining us, this is going to be one hell of a bill. A new era of Trivium is about to begin. We’ll see you out there.” Joining the entire European tour are also Paleface Swiss and VOLA. The Swiss Paleface Swiss has quickly moved from the extreme metal underground to become one of Europe’s most talked-about live bands, while Danish-Swedish VOLA combines progressive metal, tech-metal, djent, and electronic elements with grand, atmospheric melodies. In other words, a massive metal evening is in store as In Flames, Trivium, Paleface Swiss, and VOLA take the stage at Oslo Spektrum on April 29! Welcome!
