Force band announces Chilean tour after Wacken Metal Battle victory

The Chilean glam metal and hard rock trio Force is performing a series of concerts following their victory at the Wacken Metal Battle 2026 in Germany, where they also secured the popular vote award.

As part of their return to Chile after competing in Europe, the band will perform at Bunker Bar in Concepción on August 28. They are also scheduled to play at Club Subterráneo on November 27. The performances will feature their self-titled debut album, which blends 1980s hard rock influences with retrowave synthesizer arrangements.

Formed in 2023 in Santiago and Melipilla, the group consists of Laureano ‘Starboy’ on vocals and guitar, Hans Beyer on bass, and Camila Sulwacker on drums.
