Witch Club Satan are coming to North America for the first time, and they are treating it exactly like what it is: a ritual. The Norwegian black metal provocateurs announce the “Founding of the North American Coven” tour, a 16-date headline run across the U.S. and Canada from May 27 through June 16, with support from Penelope Trappes and Patriarchy on select dates.
The band has spent the past year earning this moment. In 2025 alone, Witch Club Satan performed at Roadburn, Hellfest, Sonic Rites, Mystic Festival, and Rockstadt Extreme Fest, completing a largely sold-out fall headline club tour across Europe. Metal Hammer declared them “the best thing to happen in black metal in years” after their first UK show. In early 2026, they joined Swedish heavyweights Avatar as direct support on the “In The Airwaves” tour across Europe and the UK, expanding their profile further before crossing the Atlantic.
“In times of division and chaos, we hope to offer a shelter and community within our coven,” the band says. “We are preparing for a powerful ritual.” That is not promotional language. Witch Club Satan’s live shows are known for their confrontational fusion of raw black metal, performance art, and ritualistic intensity, and North American audiences are about to find out exactly what that means firsthand.
The tour opens May 27 at Underground Arts in Philadelphia and closes June 16 at Substation in Seattle, hitting Toronto, Montreal, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Berkeley along the way. Tickets are on sale now.
