Kittie are heading back to Europe and the UK this summer, and the Canadian alt-metal pioneers are bringing serious company. The landmark return to Germany and the UK features Brazilian death metal trio Crypta and British deathcore trio VEXED on select German headline dates, while Bristol nu-gazers Split Chain and underground goth sensation Harpy provide support across the UK shows. The tour also weaves through a strong run of festivals including Wacken Open Air, Alcatraz, Bloodstock Open Air, Brutal Assault, Motocultor, Rock The Lakes, and Reload Festival. Tickets go on sale Friday, February 6 at 10am GMT.
The European run follows a strong start to 2026 for the alt-metal veterans. Kittie recently released ‘Spit XXV,’ an EP celebrating the 25th anniversary of their Gold-selling debut, featuring a remix of “Spit XXV” by NOWHERE2RUN, the project of Jami Morgan of Code Orange. The release on Sumerian Records signals a group fully re-engaged with their legacy while pushing it forward into new territory.
Stateside, Kittie hit Sick New World in Las Vegas on April 25 before joining the Summer of ’99 and Beyond Festival in Tinley Park on July 18, sharing the bill with Limp Bizkit, Cypress Hill, Sevendust, Hoobastank, Magnolia Park, Sleep Theory, and The Pretty Wild. On August 8 they support In Flames alongside Bleed from Within in Saarbrücken.
