Experimental noise rock band Dälek has revealed a series of European live dates for 2026, including a performance at the Roadburn Festival. The group also confirmed that a new album is in the works, following the recent release of a single previewing their next chapter.
Dälek, known for their innovative blend of hip-hop, noise, and industrial sounds, has shared plans for an extensive European tour in 2026. The announcement comes after a busy year that included a deluxe reissue of their debut album, Negro Nekro Necros, and the release of the single “The Essence,” which hints at the direction of their upcoming material.
A new full-length album is slated for release in 2026, with further details expected early in the year. In a statement, the band expressed enthusiasm for the tour and the fresh music: “2026 will see us return to some familiar stages and perform on new ones as well. We are extremely excited to return with dälek’s next chapter. A chapter we have been scribing for a minute now. One that began with the release of ‘The Essence’ and that will be made clear in the coming months. We can’t wait.”
The tour kicks off in March with shows in France, including stops at L’Autre Canal in Nancy on March 4, Hydrophone in Lorient on March 5, La Route du Rock in St Malo on March 6, and Sonic in Lyon on March 7.
