Fresh off their high-octane European run, Italian metal icons Lacuna Coil have officially announced the ‘Sleepless Empire US’ tour for Spring 2026. The trek follows the release of their 10th studio album, ‘Sleepless Empire’, which arrived on February 14, 2025, via Century Media Records. To celebrate the announcement, the band has unleashed a crushing live video for “Hosting the Shadow,” filmed during their standout performance at the 2025 Aftershock Festival. The video features a guest appearance by Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe, who joined vocalists Cristina Scabbia and Andrea Ferro on stage to deliver one of the album’s most aggressive and cathartic moments. Despite performing with a fever during the shoot, Scabbia describes the experience as one of pure joy and “positive energy,” a sentiment that translates vividly through the raw, cinematic footage.
The North American tour kicks off on March 24th at the Gramercy Theatre in New York and features a heavy-hitting support lineup. The band will be joined by Escape The Fate for the duration of the tour, with “death-pop” duo VOWWS providing support for the first half and Brazilian metalcore outfit AXTY taking over for the later dates. From the gothic textures of “Oxygen” to the blistering intensity of “Never Dawn,” the ‘Sleepless Empire’ era represents Lacuna Coil at their most uncompromising and textured. General ticket sales begin today, Friday, December 19th, at 10 AM local time, marking the start of a new chapter for the band in North America. Whether through the lens of their historic festival appearances or the intimate dark atmosphere of the upcoming theater run, Lacuna Coil continues to prove why they remain essential architects of modern heavy music.
