There are metal concerts, and then there are rituals disguised as spectacles. When Avatar take the stage, the line between performance and theater dissolves into a whirlwind of grotesque imagery, razor-sharp riffs and unhinged charisma. This February, Madrid becomes part of their dark carnival, as the Swedish visionaries arrive at Sala La Riviera with their brand-new 2026 European headline tour, promising the most elaborate and emotionally charged production of their career.

Avatar Bring Their Most Ambitious Show Yet to Madrid. together with Alien Weaponry & Witch Club Satan

Led by the magnetic and unpredictable Johannes Eckerström, Avatar have spent over two decades refining a sonic universe where melodic death metal, groove, shock-rock aesthetics and theatrical storytelling collide. Their upcoming shows will feature new material alongside essential anthems from across their catalogue, shaping a setlist designed to push their live experience beyond anything previously attempted. According to the band, this tour aims to surpass every previous production — not just in scale, but in intensity and artistic ambition.

The Madrid date on February 25th is set to become one of the standout nights of the tour. La Riviera’s intimate yet explosive atmosphere offers the perfect setting for Avatar’s immersive staging, where towering visuals, dynamic lighting and dramatic pacing transform each song into a scene from a twisted metal opera. Expect towering choruses, pit-igniting breakdowns and moments of unsettling beauty, all delivered with boundless energy.

Completing this ferocious lineup are Alien Weaponry, whose explosive blend of modern groove metal and Māori cultural influences has earned them international acclaim, and Witch Club Satan, bringing an occult-charged sonic assault that adds another layer of darkness to the evening. Together, they form a lineup crafted for maximum emotional and physical impact, turning this Madrid stop into a full-scale heavy ritual.

For Madrid’s metal faithful, this will be a descent into controlled chaos, guided by one of the most distinctive and fearless bands of the modern era.
