HAMMERFALL ANNOUNCES 2027 LATIN AMERICAN TOUR AND CONFIRMS THREE BANGERS OPEN AIR SIDESHOWS IN BRAZIL
The GLORY TO THE BRAVE & HYMNS LATIN AMERICA 2027 tour marks another chapter of grand celebration in the career of HammerFall, one of the most iconic names in traditional European heavy metal. Formed in Gothenburg in 1993 by guitarist Oscar Dronjak and propelled forward from 1996 with the arrival of vocalist Joacim Cans, the band boasts a career spanning over three decades dedicated to rescuing and exalting classic metal on a global scale.
The itinerary of the new tour celebrates the legacy built since their historic debut album Glory to the Brave (1997)—a watershed release that brought power and heavy metal back into the spotlight on the global scene—passing through classics such as Legacy of Kings (1998), Renegade (2000), and Crimson Thunder (2002). Their live performance brings to the stage the vigorous energy of an extensive and influential discography, which expanded with landmark works like Chapter V: Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken (2005), Threshold (2006), No Sacrifice, No Victory (2009), Infected (2011), (r)Evolution (2014), Built to Last (2016), Dominion (2019), and Hammer of Dawn (2022).
HammerFall’s relationship with the Brazilian audience is rock-solid and has been built over the course of historic tours. Brazil has always stood out as one of the warmest and most receptive territories to the band’s powerful sound, creating a unique synergy between the group and fans across different generations. The passionate response from local headbangers has cemented the country as a mandatory stop whenever the Swedes pass through South America.
As part of their run through the country, HammerFall confirms three official Bangers Open Air festival sideshows in April 2027. The routing includes performances in Belo Horizonte (April 25, at Mister Rock), Curitiba (April 27, at Tork n' Roll), and São Paulo (April 29, at Carioca Club). The shows promise unforgettable nights packed with anthems, striking riffs, and all the grandeur of traditional heavy metal.
