Rudolf-Weber-Arena, Oberhausen, Germany18th September 2026
Beartooth – “Pure Ecstasy Europe + UK Tour 2026” - Special Guests: Silverstein, Kingdom of Giants
BEARTOOTH have ramped up their popularity year after year and are now undoubtedly among the hottest Metalcore bands of the moment. In addition to support tours for OF MICE & MEN, PIERCE THE VEIL, BAD OMENS, and SLIPKNOT, as well as performances at scene festivals like Rock am Ring, Rock im Park, Reload, or Download Festival, BEARTOOTH have long since risen to headliner status themselves and tour regularly.
Their steadily growing success is reflected not only in larger venues but also in more than 1.1 billion streams on Spotify, where songs like ‘In Between,’ ‘Hated,’ ‘Disease,’ ‘The Lines,’ or ‘Riptide’ are among the biggest fan favourites. With these often deeply personal tracks and the diverse influences in their music, the band continues to thrill their audience and has continuously developed their sound across their five previously released albums.
In September, BEARTOOTH will come to Germany for five concerts and to Switzerland for one show, bringing along their new long-player ‘Pure Ecstasy’ (Release: August 28). In Frankfurt am Main, Oberhausen, Hannover, Berlin, Munich, and Zurich, the band will be accompanied by none other than Canadian post-hardcore veterans SILVERSTEIN and US metalcore high-flyers KINGDOM OF GIANTS.
Already during his time as the vocalist of ATTACK ATTACK!, Caleb Shomo was writing songs for a new project - as a creative counterpoint to the electronic Metalcore sound of his band, which he left in 2012. With the EP ‘Sick’ and a signing with Red Bull Records, he finally laid the foundation for his new band BEARTOOTH, which released its debut album ‘Disgusting’ in 2014 and cemented Shomo’s new musical direction with tracks like ‘In Between’ and ‘The Lines.’
With their second album ‘Aggressive,’ BEARTOOTH further expanded their position in the global metalcore scene and entered the international album charts. By 2018, when the band’s third album ‘Disease’ was released, BEARTOOTH were already on everyone’s lips in this country and further built their momentum with headlining tours and Europe-wide festival appearances.
In 2021, the LP ‘Below’ was released, which was received predominantly positively by the press, while Caleb Shomo was described by Kerrang! in their review of the album as ‘one of the most remarkable songwriters of his generation.’ The long-player ‘The Surface’ also continued the universal acclaim for BEARTOOTH in 2023, while steering the band’s sound back toward their traditional metalcore roots - which now, with influences from country and rock, reflect a more mature songwriting and recognizable musical growth.
Three years after the release of their last album, BEARTOOTH are now hinting at the release of a new work. On the single ‘Free,’ the Americans dedicated themselves to the ballad-esque side of their music, showcasing a sound that will turn BEARTOOTH into a globally successful mainstream phenomenon on the upcoming album ‘Pure Ecstasy’ with a modern mix of alternative rock, metalcore, country, and pop - advancing them to the status of a global arena headliner long ago, according to Forbes.
