JINJER Announces 2026 European 'Duél' Tour

Ukrainian metal titans JINJER are set to return to headline stages across Europe for the first time in over six years. Kicking off on January 23, 2026 in Cologne, Germany, the tour will span 17 major cities, marking a triumphant new chapter for the band.

Armed with the band's most dynamic and ambitious album to date, "Duél", JINJER is ready to unleash its trademark blend of technical precision, crushing heaviness, and emotional intensity on fans across the continent. Following years of global festival appearances and extensive touring, this tour is more than just a series of shows — it's a full-circle moment that fans have been eagerly awaiting since the band’s last European headline run in 2019.

Renowned for its genre-defying sound and electrifying performances, JINJER continues to rise as one of the most dynamic forces in today's metal landscape. The band spent 2024 on the road with SEPULTURA as part of the iconic group's farewell world tour, and 2025 has already seen them bring their ferocity to stages across Asia and Australia. This summer, JINJER will storm North America as direct support for BABYMETAL, with additional high-profile festival appearances set for U.K.'s Download, Belgium's Graspop Metal Meeting and more.

JINJER 2026 European tour:

Jan. 23 - DE - Cologne - Palladium Jan. 24 - NL - Tilburg - O13 Jan. 25 - BE - Brussels - AB Brussels Feb. 02 - FR - Paris - L'Olympia Feb. 03 - FR - Lyon - Transbordeur Feb. 04 - FR - Toulouse - Bikini Feb. 11 - CH - Zurich - X-tra Feb. 12 - DE - Stuttgart - LKA Feb. 13 - DE - Wiesbaden - Schlachthof Feb. 14 - DE - Munich - Tonhalle Feb. 16 - HU - Budapest - Barba Negra Feb. 19 - CZ - Prague - Sasazu Feb. 20 - DE - Leipzig - Felsenkeller Feb. 21 - DE - Berlin - Astra Mar. 01 - DK - Copenhagen - Amager Bio Mar. 02 - DE - Hamburg - Grosse Freiheit 36

Over the past 15 years, JINJER has built a reputation as one of modern metal’s most fearless and forward-thinking bands. Rising from the Ukrainian underground to international acclaim, their blend of progressive groove, technical precision, and raw emotion has earned them over 250 million global streams and views. From viral hits like "Pisces" to the crushing intensity of "Macro" and the dark complexity of "Wallflowers", their discography continues to redefine what heavy music can be. Their latest album, "Duél", features multiple music videos with multi-millions of combined views to date and broke into the charts at No. 2 U.S. Hard Music Albums, No. 6 U.S. Current Rock Albums, No. 2 Canadian Hard Music Albums, No. 3 France Metal, No. 7 U.K. Rock & Metal and beyond.

EVANESCENCE Reveals Collaboration With Alt-Rock Visionary K.FLAY, 'Fight Like A Girl', From 'Ballerina' Movie

Grammy Award-winning rock band EVANESCENCE and alt-rock visionary K.Flay have teamed up for their first-ever collaboration on the explosive new song "Fight Like A Girl" (BMG). The track is featured as the first end title song in "Ballerina", the hotly anticipated film set in the world of John Wick. Both the song and the film are out this Friday, June 6.

Co-written by EVANESCENCE lead singer Amy Lee, K.Flay, Dylan Eiland and "Ballerina" film composer Tyler Bates, who also produced the track, "Fight Like A Girl" follows the release of Halsey and Lee's thunderous track "Hand That Feeds", the first original song recently revealed from the film in early May.

Fueled by fierce energy and defiance, "Fight Like A Girl" channels the film's themes of vengeance, resilience, and female empowerment, mirroring its adrenaline-pumping intensity and emotional depth. "Ballerina", starring Ana de Armas, Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, Lance Reddick, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Norman Reedus, with Ian McShane and Keanu Reeves, is set to electrify audiences with its high-octane action and raw emotional stakes. Directed by Len Wiseman and written by Shay Hatten, based on characters by Derek Kolstad, the film is produced by Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee and Chad Stahelski.

"Tyler calling me up to create this song for 'Ballerina' couldn't have come at a more perfect time, I know I'm not the only girl out there ready to dig my heels in and show the world what we're made of," said Lee. "I really wanted this song to be a collab, and K.Flay is one of my favorite artists. It is literally a dream come true to do this together!"

"Amy sent me the demo and I was immediately so energized, so inspired," said K.Flay. "I was on tour at the time, and I wrote my verse backstage after a show, when my adrenaline was still super high. For me, the film and the song are both about how we channel our pain and how we choose to define ourselves. What separates the hero from the villain?"

Taking place during the events of "John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum", "Ballerina" follows Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas) who is beginning her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma.

EVANESCENCE will kick off a run of live shows later this fall, making stops on "My Chemical Romance: The Black Parade" tour and Louder Than Life festival before joining METALLICA on their "M72" world tour.

In 2003, when the rock charts were dominated by predominantly male nü-metal and post-grunge acts, a young female-fronted band from Arkansas stood out from the crowd, offering something entirely new. They were EVANESCENCE — and with their debut album, "Fallen", they transformed the rock landscape. Led by Lee, EVANESCENCE's cinematic blend of metal and symphonic, piano-driven melodies captured a generation, while "Fallen" set the band on a path to global superstardom, earning them multiple Grammys, and becoming one of the highest-selling albums of all time.

Released in the spring of 2003, "Fallen" resonated deeply with fans, selling more than 141,000 copies in its first week and peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, where it spent an astonishing 43 weeks in the Top 10. Within a month, "Fallen" was certified platinum by the RIAA, while it was a Top 10 hit in more than ten countries, reaching No. 1 in the U.K., Canada, Australia, and across Europe. Much of the album's initial success can be attributed to its stratospheric singles, including "Bring Me to Life", which broke the Top 10 in more than 15 countries and topped Billboard's Mainstream Top 40 and Alternative Airplay charts. "My Immortal" was a Top 10 hit in over ten countries, including the U.S., U.K. and Australia.

At the 2004 Grammys, EVANESCENCE received five nominations, including "Album Of The Year", "Best Rock Album", "Best Hard Rock Performance" for "Bring Me To Life", and "Best New Artist", taking home the latter two. The following year, "My Immortal" received a nod for "Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals".

Today, "Fallen" holds steady as the sixth best-selling album of the 21st century (ranking just behind Lady Gaga's "The Fame" and ahead of COLDPLAY's "A Rush Of Blood To The Head") and remains one of the best-selling albums of all time, with more than 17 million copies sold worldwide. In 2022, "Fallen" received a rare diamond certification from the RIAA, which recognizes 10 million units in U.S. album sales. As a testament to the album's enduring appeal, the video for "Bring Me To Life" surpassed 1.2 billion views on YouTube, making it one of the most-watched rock videos of all-time while "My Immortal" follows close behind.

To date, EVANESCENCE has released a total of five studio albums, including the multi-platinum "The Open Door" (2004) and "Evanescence" (2011),both of which topped the Billboard 200. In 2021, the band thrilled fans with their first album of new material in a decade, "The Bitter Truth". Now 20 years on, EVANESCENCE continues to scale new heights. Featuring a lineup of Amy Lee (vocals, keyboards),Tim McCord (guitar/bass),Will Hunt (drums),Troy McLawhorn (guitars) and Emma Anzai (bass, backing vocals),the band continues to travel the globe, staging some of the most successful shows of their career, including Allianz Parque, a soccer stadium in Sāo Paulo, Brasil, which was the biggest headline show of EVANESCENCE's career to date, drawing 40,000 fans. EVANESCENCE's most recent single, "Afterlife" from the Netflix series "Devil May Cry", has had great success, with over 20 million streams and over 10 million views on YouTube in just the first few weeks. "Afterlife" is the fastest-moving single of the band's career.
