Bergen, Norway, February 18, 2025 – Following the release of their critically acclaimed album, Birna (listen here), Wardruna have announced their highly-anticipated North American tour in support of the immersive album. Tickets are on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. local time, with dates slated for Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre, New York’s Beacon Theatre, and Toronto’s Massey Hall. Chelsea Wolfe will join as a special guest on all dates except Los Angeles. Ticket links can be found via Wardruna.com. The North American tour expands upon Wardruna’s ongoing world tour, which has already seen the band perform at stunning historical and natural venues. New tour dates include Wardruna’s live debut in Spain and Portugal, as well as festival appearances at Germany’s Summer Breeze Open Air and Romania’s Rockstadt Extreme Fest. The group was previously announced as the headliner for this year’s Fire in the Mountains festival in Montana (July 25 – 27). Wardruna is known for performing in breathtaking historical locations such as the Odeon of Herodes Atticus at the Acropolis in Athens, as well as surrounded by natural wonders such as the Red Rocks in Colorado. Their upcoming performances continue this tradition, offering audiences a profound experience of music in conversation with history and nature. In Wroclaw, Poland, the group is set to perform at the historic, UNESCO world heritage site, The Centennial Hall. Wardruna have also recently announced a special concert at the Amphitheatre of Pompeii, a site of cultural significance in history and popular culture. Main composer states Einar Selvik: “We are genuinely honored to be invited to perform at the amphitheater in Pompei and it is hard to find the right words to express how special this feels. Not on only because of the historical and cultural significance of this rarely used venue but also the place it has in more recent cultural history with Pink Floyd’s legendary performance at this very site. Needless to say, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity!” Wardruna North American tour dates: September 4 Fort Worth, TX Will Rogers Memorial Auditorium September 5 San Antonio, TX Tobin Center for the Performing Arts September 7 Phoenix, AZ Ikeda Theatre at The Mesa Arts Center September 8 Los Angeles, CA The Greek Theatre * September 9 Oakland, CA Paramount Theatre September 11 Portland, OR The Keller Auditorium September 14 Seattle, WA The Moore Theatre September 16 Salt Lake City, UT Capitol Theatre September 17 Colorado Springs, CO Pikes Peak Center September 19 Minneapolis, MN Orpheum Theatre September 20 Chicago, IL The Auditorium Theatre September 22 Toronto, ON Massey Hall September 23 Rochester, NY Kodak Center September 24 Boston, MA Wang Theatre September 26 New York, NY Beacon Theatre September 27 Philadelphia, PA Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts September 28 Washington, DC Warner Theatre *-No Chelsea Wolfe Birna was written and recorded over three years, with music by Selvik and longtime collaborator/vocalist Linda-Fay Hella, and lyrics solely by Selvik. The album unravels the long and entangled history of the relationship between man and Bear and contemplating the present state of how humans relate to the wild in general. Wardruna was featured on the February cover of Decibel Magazine, while Metal Hammer praising the them, as “a genuine force of nature.” Blabbermouth called Birna “another bold celebration of the band’s culture,” and New Noise noted that “They’re not just in conversation with nature; they and the natural world confide in one another.” Wardruna tour dates: Special guest Jo Quail on March UK and IE dates March 17 Liverpool, UK Philharmonic March 18 Birmingham, UK Symphony Hall March 19 London, UK Royal Albert Hall March 21 Bristol, UK Beacon March 22 York, UK Barbican March 23 Dublin, IE Olympia Theatre March 25 Glasgow, UK SEC Armadillo April 26 Oslo, NO Operaen SOLD OUT April 27 Oslo, NO Operaen SOLD OUT April 29 Trondheim, NO Olavshallen May 2 Kristiansand, NO Kilden May 3 Stavanger, NO Konserthuset May 4 Bergen, NO Grieghallen June 7 Reykjavik, IS Harpa July 25 – 27 Red Eagle Campground (Cut Bank), MT Fire In The Mountains Festival August 3 Rasnov, RO Rockstadt Extreme Fest August 5 Pompeii, IT Amphitheatre of Pompeii August 7 Serravalle di Chienti, IT Montelago Celtic Festival August 9 Istanbul, TR Harbiye Open Air Theater August 11 Antwerp, BE OLT Rivierenhof August 13 Bristol, UK ArcTanGent Festival August 15 Dinkelsbühl, DE Summer Breeze Open Air Festival August 16 Chemnitz, DE Filmnächte Chemnitz Theaterplatz Special guest Chelsea Wolfe on all North American dates except Los Angeles September 4 Fort Worth, TX Will Rogers Memorial Auditorium September 5 San Antonio, TX Tobin Center for the Performing Arts September 7 Phoenix, AZ Ikeda Theatre at The Mesa Arts Center September 8 Los Angeles, CA The Greek Theatre September 9 Oakland, CA Paramount Theatre September 11 Portland, OR The Keller Auditorium September 14 Seattle, WA The Moore Theatre September 16 Salt Lake City, UT Capitol Theatre September 17 Colorado Springs, CO Pikes Peak Center September 19 Minneapolis, MN Orpheum Theatre September 20 Chicago, IL The Auditorium Theatre September 22 Toronto, ON Massey Hall September 23 Rochester, NY Kodak Center September 24 Boston, MA Wang Theatre September 26 New York, NY Beacon Theatre September 27 Philadelphia, PA Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts September 28 Washington, DC Warner Theatre November 14 Hannover, DE Kuppelsaal November 16 Copenhagen, DK Det Kongelige Teater – Gamle Scene November 17 Copenhagen, DK Det Kongelige Teater – Gamle Scene November 19 Stockholm, SE Cirkus November 21 Helsinki, FI Finlandia-Talo November 22 Lahti, FI Sibeliustalo November 23 Tampere, FI Tampere-Talo November 25 Tallinn, EE Alexela Kontserdimaja November 27 Wroclaw, PL Centennial Hall November 28 Munich, DE Showpalast November 29 Stuttgart, DE Liederhalle – Beethoven-Saal December 2 Porto, PT Casa de Música December 4 Madrid, ES The Music Station December 6 Toulouse, FR Salle Horizon December 7 Torino, IT Auditorium del Lingotto December 8 Strasbourg, FR Le Palais de la Musique et des Congrès |
