In mid-October 2026, several heavy metal festivals were scheduled in the border regions of Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands. Events included Desertfest Belgium in Seraing and the Nordhorn Deathfest, which featured the English band Benediction with a temporary vocalist and the Dutch band Pentacle on their farewell tour.

By late October, the focus shifted to performances in Hamburg, Germany. Concerts at the Georg Elser Halle included the ‘In League With Satan – Evropa 2026 Tour’ featuring Dark Funeral and Behemoth. Additionally, Amon Amarth performed at the Alsterdorfer Sporthalle alongside Orbit Culture and Soilwork.
