There are concerts meant to entertain, and then there are shows designed to exorcise tension through sheer volume. When Paleface Swiss step onto a stage, subtlety disappears — replaced by suffocating heaviness, unfiltered rage and a crowd pushed to its physical limits. In February 2026, that controlled chaos arrives in Madrid, as one of Europe’s most ferocious modern metal acts prepares to turn the city into a pressure chamber of sound, sweat and collective release.

Unapologetic Noise & Raging Energy

If there’s a name on the cutting edge of European heavy music that has transmuted pure aggression into visceral live catharsis, it’s Paleface Swiss. The Swiss juggernauts — known for their razor-sharp deathcore, thunderous breakdowns and stage presence that borders on ritual intensity — are bringing their 2026 European headline tour to Madrid this February, and anyone craving unfiltered energy won’t want to miss it.

Formed in 2017 and rising rapidly through relentless touring and festival appearances, Paleface Swiss have built a reputation for concerts that are as much a visceral experience as a show — walls of sound, masses of bodies moving in unison and frontman Marc “Zelli” Zellweger commanding every second on stage. Their 2025 album Cursed — a showcase of punishing riffs and ferocious intensity — has only amplified the anticipation for these upcoming dates, making Madrid’s Wagon one of the hottest tickets of the winter for fans of heavy music.

But Paleface Swiss aren’t coming alone. The lineup is rounded out with Stick To Your Guns, veterans of melodic hardcore whose passionate, socially charged anthems have inspired audiences for over two decades, and Static Dress, the British outfit whose post-hardcore flair and emotional intensity add a compelling, unpredictable edge to the evening’s sonic palette.

This combination — blistering Swiss deathcore, foundational California hardcore and avant-leaning UK post-hardcore — makes the 3 February date an extraordinary crossroads of current heavy music. Expect a night where every track hits like a blow, every chorus is screamed back in unison, and the energy never lets up until the lights come up.
