When I first walked on stage with Sabaton more than two decades ago, I never imagined we would one day announce something as massive as this. But here we are. I’m beyond proud to finally reveal our biggest and most ambitious run ever: Through Fire, Fury, and Freedom: The Lion of the North Conquest Tour 2026. This isn’t just another tour. This is a full-scale campaign.The name says it all. “Lion of the North” is a title forever linked to Gustavus Adolphus, one of the most legendary figures in Swedish history and the inspiration behind our song “The Lion From The North.” His story of courage, strategy, and relentless drive has always resonated with us. In 2026, we’re bringing that spirit to stages across the world — louder, heavier, and more explosive than ever before.This tour will be the largest production we’ve ever carried on the road. Expect brand-new stage designs, a battlefield atmosphere, and effects that will make you feel like you’re standing in the middle of history itself. We’re pushing everything to the limit — more fire, more fury, more freedom. The setlist will span our entire career, from the early days to the latest anthems, honoring the battles and stories that brought us here.We’ve always believed that our music is more than riffs and choruses — it’s about telling the stories of those who stood firm in the face of impossible odds. That’s what this tour represents. It’s a tribute to resilience, to unity, and to every single one of you who have marched with us through the years. Without you, there is no army. Without you, there is no conquest.2026 will see us return to cities we love and conquer new territories for the first time. We’re planning massive arena shows, unforgettable festival appearances, and some surprises I can’t reveal just yet. Every country, every crowd, every night will be another chapter in this campaign.I promise you this: we will give you everything we’ve got. Every note will be sung with pride. Every chorus will be louder than thunder. Every show will be a battle cry. The Lion marches again — and we want you with us when the drums begin to roar.Sharpen your swords. Raise your banners. Prepare for Through Fire, Fury, and Freedom: The Lion of the North Conquest Tour 2026.See you on the battlefield.— Joakim Brodén
