DragonForce have announced their biggest North American tour in more than two decades, celebrating the 20th anniversary of their landmark album Inhuman Rampage. The tour will visit 22 cities across November and December 2026, with support from Ensiferum and Rhapsody of Fire. The run begins at The Observatory North Park in San Diego on 13 November and concludes at The Wiltern in Los Angeles on 13 December.
The announcement also marks a major new era for the band, following the recent arrival of vocalist Alissa White-Gluz. DragonForce recently previewed the new line-up with performances at Welcome To Rockville and Sonic Temple, which received strong reactions from fans and media alike.
Originally released in 2006, Inhuman Rampage featured the Platinum-selling anthem Through The Fire And Flames, which became globally recognised through Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. The album spent 23 consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200 and helped establish DragonForce as one of the defining bands in modern Heavy Metal.
Public on-sale for the Inhuman Rampage 20th Anniversary Tour begins at 10am local time on Friday 29 May, with Citi and artist presales starting today. For more details, visit dragonforce.com/shows.
“Alissa joining the band is an expansion of everything we’ve done up to this point,” Herman Li said as White-Gluz was announced. “Twenty years is a long time to do anything, let alone survive the music industry and still be so inspired to continue doing what we love.
“Together we will honour what made Inhuman Rampage matter, while showing people exactly where we’re going next. Having Alissa in the room changes everything. She doesn’t just sing, she makes all aspects of our music better, and she sounds incredible live.
“I can’t wait for the fans to see her and hear what we have been working on.”
Alissa White-Gluz describes herself as a long-time fan of DragonForce, having seen them in concert multiple times over the last 20 years. “I am beyond excited to be bringing such iconic music to life with these amazingly skilled musicians in such a fun and inspiring environment,” she said.
“It feels great to showcase all the colours of my voice in technically challenging, deeply energising, highly addictive songs. Creating and performing with musicians who deeply care about the music and concerts as much as I do is so refreshing. Plus, with Blue Medusa going full throttle and gaining so much momentum in parallel, I feel like I am permanently in the creative zone, which is exactly where I want to be.
“I am so thankful for the amazing support I have been lucky enough to receive from the metal world; I want to keep pushing my boundaries and delivering exceptional music and live experiences to the fans that we cherish so much.”
The tour dates include performances in New York, Chicago, Toronto, Denver, Atlanta and Los Angeles, with the band promising spectacular production, classic material from Inhuman Rampage and an early taste of their forthcoming studio album.
