Jinjer announce first European headline tour in six years

Ukrainian metal heroes Jinjer have just announced a 2026 European headline tour.

For the first time in six years, the band will be crossing the continent for 17 shows between January and March, kicking off in Cologne and wrapping up in Hamburg. “Europe, it’s finally happening!” they say. “We’re excited to announce our first headline tour across the continent in six years.” The band also add that there’s “more dates in more countries coming soon”.

First, of course, Jinjer have got a busy summer, following the release of February’s fifth album Duél. They’ll be appearing on Download Festival’s Apex Stage on Sunday, June 15 as a warm-up for Meshuggah, Spiritbox, Bullet For My Valentine and Korn, before joining BABYMETAL on the road in North America the following month.
