Swedish metal band Avatar have postponed five dates on their November 2026 UK and Ireland tour, citing personal circumstances. The affected concerts were due to take place between 20 and 25 November, with replacement dates not yet announced.
The shows are postponed, not cancelled. The band have asked fans to respect their privacy and said there is no reason for concern. No further explanation has been given.
Which Avatar shows have been postponed?
- 20 November: Wolverhampton – KK’s Steel Mill
- 21 November: Southampton – O2 Guildhall
- 22 November: Cardiff – Depot
- 24 November: Dublin – National Stadium
- 25 November: Belfast – Limelight
Ticket holders should monitor updates from Avatar, the venue and their original ticket provider before rearranging travel. The band’s statement does not confirm new dates or ticket and refund arrangements.
When will the tour resume?
Avatar say the remaining dates will go ahead as planned, beginning at UEA LCR in Norwich on 27 November, followed by Newcastle on 28 November and Edinburgh on 29 November. The European leg continues into December, with Neckbreakker scheduled to support.
For affected fans, the next important development will be confirmation of the rescheduled concerts. We recently reported on another disrupted UK metal date, when Hard Rock Hell’s cancellation affected Crucified Barbara’s London appearance.
