Ukrainian metal titans JINJER are set to return to headline stages across Europe for the first time in over six years. Kicking off on January 23, 2026 in Cologne, Germany, the tour will span 17 major cities, marking a triumphant new chapter for the band.
Armed with the band’s most dynamic and ambitious album to date, “Duél”, JINJER is ready to unleash its trademark blend of technical precision, crushing heaviness, and emotional intensity on fans across the continent. Following years of global festival appearances and extensive touring, this tour is more than just a series of shows — it’s a full-circle moment that fans have been eagerly awaiting since the band’s last European headline run in 2019.
Renowned for its genre-defying sound and electrifying performances, JINJER continues to rise as one of the most dynamic forces in today’s metal landscape. The band spent 2024 on the road with SEPULTURA as part of the iconic group’s farewell world tour, and 2025 has already seen them bring their ferocity to stages across Asia and Australia. This summer, JINJER will storm North America as direct support for BABYMETAL, with additional high-profile festival appearances set for U.K.’s Download, Belgium’s Graspop Metal Meeting and more.
