Following the release of 2025’s »Cult Of The Serpent Sun«, San Francisco blackened heavy metal force Nite will embark on their first European tour in April 2026. Having sharpened their sound on stages across the American West, including appearances at Northwest Terror Fest and Hell’s Heroes, the band now carry their esoteric fire overseas.

Rooted in the mythology and urgency of »Cult Of The Serpent Sun«, this tour marks a decisive chapter in the band’s ascent. The album’s themes of ritual, perseverance, and unity translate seamlessly to the stage, where molten twin guitars, galloping drums, and commanding vocals converge in a performance honed through years of road experience. As guitarist Scott Hoffman states:

“We’ve been working toward playing shows in Europe since the founding of this band, and now it is finally happening. We are thrilled for the opportunity to play in select cities in Europe, and especially to appear at the legendary Inferno Festival. Many thanks to our European fans for being patient. We look forward to seeing you in April, and initiating you into the »Cult Of The Serpent Sun«.”
