Black Dahlia Murder Launches ‘Nocturnal’ 20th Anniversary European Tour

Black Dahlia Murder Launches ‘Nocturnal’ 20th Anniversary European Tour

THE ANNOUNCEMENT

The Black Dahlia Murder is taking *Nocturnal* back to Europe for its 20th anniversary — but don't expect a full album playthrough . Vocalist Brian Eschbach confirmed the band will load the setlist with tracks from the 2007 record without committing to the front-to-back treatment . It's a 27-date run that kicks off January 14, 2027 in Frankfurt and wraps February 14 in Karlsruhe .

THE DETAILS

  • Tour runs January 14–February 14, 2027 across Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovenia, Austria, France, UK, Netherlands, and Switzerland
  • Opens January 14 in Frankfurt, Germany and closes February 14 in Karlsruhe, Germany
  • *Nocturnal* was the band's third studio album, originally released in 2007
  • Setlist will feature many songs from *Nocturnal* but not the complete album in sequence
  • No support acts announced yet

WHY IT MATTERS

ANNIVERSARY — *Nocturnal* cemented The Black Dahlia Murder as melodic death metal's most reliable American export, and two decades later it still holds up better than most of what came after. The choice to skip the full-album format and just play a heavy dose of the record instead shows more confidence than nostalgia — they know these songs work anywhere in the set.
