Building on this momentum, OBSCURA is proud to announce “Shred Fest 2027,” a massive headlining run set to tear through Europe and the UK. This monumental tour marks the band’s return to European soil with their most ambitious production to date, ensuring that 2027 will be a landmark year for progressive death metal.

Mastermind Steffen Kummerer comments: “2027 marks the 25th anniversary of OBSCURA, and we are kicking off the year with the longest European & UK run we have ever undertaken. 39 shows with no days off — a true statement. Remember: it’s not a tour if there’s a day off.
SHRED FEST 2027 brings together some of the finest representatives of European extreme metal, featuring bands from France, Denmark, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Germany. Joined by the legendary Dutch Pestilence, the UK’s avant-garde force Cryptic Shift, Denmark’s progressive/melodic death metal act Thus, and France’s relentless DVRK, we will perform across the continent for weeks, culminating in a hometown show in Munich, Germany.
Spread the word, bring your friends, and support all bands from start to finish — see you all in 2027.”
