Brothers and sisters of metal,This is Joakim Brodén speaking — and I bring news forged in fire.For years, we have marched together across continents, through roaring arenas and under burning festival skies. We have sung of courage, sacrifice, and the indomitable spirit that binds warriors across time. And now, it is time to write the next chapter.In 2026, we ride again.I am proud to announce The Thunder of Iron and Glory: A Worldwide March Through Fire, Steel, and Unbreakable Brotherhood Tour 2026 — our most ambitious campaign yet. This will not simply be a tour. This will be a global mobilization of metal, a thunderous crusade of sound and spectacle that will shake cities to their foundations.With my brothers in Sabaton, we are preparing a show unlike anything we have ever unleashed. Bigger stages. Louder cannons. Brighter flames. Deeper stories. Every anthem will be a battle cry. Every chorus will echo like artillery across the horizon.From Europe’s historic capitals to North and South America’s roaring crowds, from the rising sun of Asia to the fierce stages of Australia — we will march together as one unstoppable force. No border can hold back the sound of steel. No distance can weaken the bond of our brotherhood.Expect songs that have carried us through the years — the tales of heroes, last stands, and victories carved in history — alongside surprises that will ignite new fires in your hearts. We are sharpening every riff and polishing every lyric until it gleams like a blade before battle.But this tour is more than pyrotechnics and power chords. It is about you — the legion that stands before us night after night. The voices that rise above the amps. The fists in the air. The friendships forged in the crowd. Metal is not just music. It is unity. It is loyalty. It is unbreakable brotherhood.In 2026, we gather again under banners of thunder and iron. We will sing until our voices crack. We will stand shoulder to shoulder. We will prove once more that the spirit of heavy metal cannot be silenced.Prepare your armor. Raise your flags. The march begins soon.See you on the battlefield.— Joakim
