Progressive and melodic metal fans across North America have a major event to look forward to this spring as the Scandinavian Heavy Arts Tour officially announces its U.S. and Canadian run for March and April 2026.
The tour will be co-headlined by Swedish progressive metal innovators SOEN and melodic death metal legends DARK TRANQUILLITY, with acclaimed progressive metal outfit Persefone joining as special guests.
