Trivium and In Flames have revealed plans for an extensive tour across the UK and Europe in 2027.

The newly announced concerts follow news last month that the two metal groups would travel across North America together. Trivium will lead those performances, while In Flames will appear as special guests. Orbit Culture, Fit For An Autopsy and Frozen Soul will provide additional support during the November and December run.

The bands have now expanded their partnership by arranging a collection of UK and European performances for 2027.

The schedule begins in Ireland at Dublin’s 3Arena on March 29. Concerts in Glasgow, Manchester, London and Cardiff will follow during the next week.

The European portion opens in Brussels on April 5 before visiting cities including Paris, Hamburg, Berlin, Frankfurt, Prague, Vienna and Copenhagen. The final concert will be held in Katowice, Poland, on May 7.

 

Trivium will headline the dates in the UK and Ireland, with In Flames appearing immediately before them. The order will change once the tour enters Scandinavia, where In Flames will close the shows.

Paleface Swiss and Vola will open every newly announced concert. General ticket sales begin Friday, August 28, at 10am CEST and 9am BST. Advance sales will begin tomorrow, Wednesday August 26.

“We’re beyond stoked to be joining forces with our longtime friends In Flames once again for another legendary run across Europe and the UK,” said Trivium. “With Paleface Swiss and VOLA joining us, this is going to be one hell of a bill. A new era of Trivium is about to begin. We’ll see you out there.”

In Flames added: “We are excited to return to Europe with our old friends in Trivium! Paleface Swiss and Vola round out an amazing bill. You don’t want to miss this epic night of metal coming YOUR way! See you soon…”

Freddie Jackson Passes Away Just Days After Turning 70

Freddie Jackson, the R'n'B singer behind You Are My Lady and Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake), has died at the age of 70.

He passed away on Monday (05.10.26), just three days after celebrating his 70th birthday. A cause of death has not been announced.

Announcing his death on social media, his family wrote: "It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved Freddie Jackson, who went home to rest last night.

"Freddie was more than a legendary voice. He was a kind, generous soul who loved his fans, his family, his friends, and his music with everything he had. For decades, he gave us the songs that became the soundtrack to our love stories, our celebrations, and our most treasured memories. That gift will live on forever.

"To everyone who ever sang along, danced, or felt something when Freddie took the stage: thank you. You were family to him, and he carried your love with him always.

"Please keep his family, friends, and loved ones in your prayers during this difficult time. Details regarding arrangements and how to honor his legacy will be shared in the coming days.

"Rest in peace, Freddie. Your legacy and your voice will live on forever."

Freddie began his professional music journey in the late 1970s as a member of California funk band Mystic Merlin. He later moved back to the East Coast and found his direction in R'n'B.

A string of successful releases in the mid 1980s established him as one of the genre’s leading singers. Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake), You Are My Lady, Have You Ever Loved Somebody, Jam Tonight and Do Me Again became some of his best known songs and earned him a lasting presence on the US charts.

His career also extended to cinema. He joined Irene Cara for the duet Love Survives, featured in the 1989 animated film All Dogs Go to Heaven, and later made an acting appearance in the cult crime drama King of New York.

Freddie continued making music for decades, with his last album, Love Signals, arriving in 2018. He followed it in 2020 with Why, a single addressing racial injustice.
