Seven Thorns are mid-tour and heading to Turkey for the first time. The Danish power metal outfit, known for their cinematic sound, soaring vocals, and orchestral-heavy live shows, bring “The Road To Power European Tour 2026” to Istanbul’s Dorock on April 5th for an exclusive one-night appearance, the band’s first ever performance on Turkish soil.
The band has spent the past decade building a formidable reputation on the European metal circuit, blending crushing guitar riffs with symphonic elements and melodic intensity into a live experience that earns comparisons to the theatrical grandeur of the genre’s finest acts. Seven Thorns arrive in Istanbul with a rebuilt lineup and a clear message: “We are back with a new line-up. We are stronger than ever. We are (not) the same.” That kind of declaration, backed by a full European run already underway across Italy, Croatia, and Greece, carries weight.
The Istanbul date sits at the center of a broader Balkan and Eastern European run that continues through Bulgaria and Romania before the tour wraps. For Turkish metal fans, a single night at Dorock with a band of this caliber and this momentum is not an opportunity to sleep on. The remaining tour dates following Istanbul round out an already substantial European campaign.
