Eleine bring their most ambitious headline tour to Barcelona this October

Not many metal bands can claim to have built their following the hard way — through relentless touring, uncompromising records and a live show that consistently delivers. Eleine can. Founded in 2014 in Landskrona, Sweden, the five-piece fronted by vocalist Madeleine Liljestam and guitarist/growler Rikard Ekberg have spent a decade forging their own lane in symphonic metal: heavy, atmospheric and built around the tension between crushing riffs and commanding vocals. In autumn 2026, they launch the biggest headline run of their career across Europe and the UK — and Barcelona is on the map.

The band’s trajectory has been one of consistent progression. Their second album Until the End debuted at number one on the Swedish charts in 2018; Dancing in Hell (2020) broke through internationally during the pandemic; and We Shall Remain (2023), their fourth full-length, pushed the sound into harder, more direct territory. Produced by Rikard Ekberg and Madeleine Liljestam and mixed by Thomas “Plec” Johansson, the album marked a band with nothing to prove and everything to play for. The We Stand United EP followed in 2025. Along the way, Eleine have supported Arch Enemy, Kamelot and Moonspell, headlined across Europe and North America, and earned a reputation as one of the most compelling live acts in contemporary metal.

The Barcelona concert takes place on 22 October 2026 at Razzmatazz 3. The band have described this tour as their most ambitious production to date, with a revamped setlist designed to hit harder than anything they’ve brought to the stage before. Dark, immersive and driven by sheer force — it’s the kind of show Eleine’s growing fanbase has been waiting for.

Tickets are on sale now through the official promoter website, priced at €25 in advance and €30 on the door. No age restrictions have been announced for the event.
