German heavy metal powerhouses Powerwolf are setting their sights on a massive 2026, announcing the “Wake Up The Wicked Tour” that will bring their renowned “heavy metal mass” to major arenas across Europe. This extensive trek is slated to be a highlight for fans, not least because it culminates in a historic first for the band: a headline performance at London’s iconic Wembley Arena.
Joining Powerwolf on this highly anticipated tour will be Swedish power metal legends HammerFall and Italian folk metallers Wind Rose as special guests, ensuring a powerful and diverse night of metal for attendees. The tour is scheduled to commence on February 19th in Copenhagen and will sweep through key European cities, including Düsseldorf, Nuremberg, and Leipzig, before its grand finale in London on March 7th.
Ahead of this monumental tour, Powerwolf has also delivered an immersive audiovisual experience with their new live release, Wildlive (Live At Olympiahalle). Captured during their sold-out “Wolfsnächte Tour 2024” show at Munich’s Olympiahalle, this offering is presented as far more than a conventional live album. It is a “grand, cinematic experience brimming with fire, emotion, and boundless creativity,” designed to encapsulate the theatrical brilliance of their stage production, from a “fire-breathing church organ and thunderous pyrotechnics” to “dark, operetta-style storytelling.”
The band shared their motivation for creating Wildlive (Live At Olympiahalle), stating: “We always knew that no words or short recap videos could truly capture what we experienced together during the ‘Wolfsnächte 2024‘ tour. Every night was its own kind of magic — still, we wanted to find a way to hold on to those memories and share them in the most powerful way possible. That’s why we decided to record the full, massive, sold-out show at the Olympiahalle in Munich — to preserve just a piece of what we all felt on this tour. Wildlive (Live at Olympiahalle) is more than a live release. It’s a tribute and manifestation to the moments we’ve created together with our amazing fans.”
The upcoming 2026 tour builds on Powerwolf‘s relentless touring schedule, which includes their triumphant “Summer Of The Wicked” headline tour across major European festival stages in 2025. Following this, they are also set to embark on a significant North American headline tour later in 2025, featuring Dragonforce as special guests, ensuring a consistent presence for their global fanbase.
