Black Veil Brides have announced a major UK and European headline tour for early 2027 in support of their seventh studio album, Vindicate. The run begins at Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre on 7 January before crossing to Scotland for a show at Glasgow’s Barrowland Ballroom on 8 January.
The UK leg continues with shows in Newcastle, Leeds, Bristol, Birmingham and Manchester, before concluding at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on 16 January. Starting the UK dates at the Barrowlands feels entirely appropriate. No Scotland, no party indeed, and yes, I’ll be there.
The band will then head across Europe for concerts in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and Austria. Further dates will take them through the Czech Republic, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria, with the tour wrapping up in Sofia on 9 February.
The announcement follows Black Veil Brides’ epic performance on the Apex Stage at Download Festival 2026, where they once again proved why they remain such a powerful live band. It also comes after a run of intimate UK shows in Brighton, Liverpool and London.
Released on 8 May, Vindicate marked the band’s first full-length album in almost five years. The record features previously released singles “Bleeders,” “Hallelujah,” “Certainty” and its title track, alongside “Revenger,” a collaboration with Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn.
Speaking about the themes behind the album, Andy Biersack previously described Vindicate as a record rooted in revenge, resilience and the drive to turn difficult experiences into something powerful.

7 – 3Olympia Theatre, Dublin

For CultureCues, Black Veil Brides returning so soon after their huge Download set is very welcome news. Vindicate gives the band plenty of new material to bring to the stage, and opening the UK run at Glasgow’s beloved Barrowlands should make for a particularly loud start to the year. We are already looking forward to seeing the new set come to life. The BVB Army will be out in force.
Tickets for the UK and Ireland dates go on general sale at 10am BST on 19 June, with European tickets following at 11am CEST on 21 June. You can buy tickets here.
