Beartooth will be playing shows in Germany, Austria and France before heading into the UK at the 02 Academy in Birmingham for two nights on October 21^st and 22^nd. The band will then head to Manchester’s 02 Victoria Warehouse for two nights on October 24^th and 25^th before rounding out the UK portion of their tour with a show at London’s Alexandra Palace on October 26^th.

The band toured the UK earlier this year in March, even relocating their scheduled show at Brixton Academy to Wembley Arena in the wake of Brixton Academy losing their live music license due to the unfortunate deaths at an Asake show.

Founding band member Caleb Shomo said: “It has been so long since we have done a headliner in Europe. I can’t wait to show everybody what we’ve been working on for the last 18 months, they will be some of the biggest shows of our career to date and will be some of the best shows we have ever played in our lives!”

Beartooth are currently gearing up to release their upcoming album, The Surface, which is set for release next Friday (October 13^th) – following up 2021’s Below.

Caleb Shomo has previously talked about the album, as a couple of months ago he said: “I just want it to be completely different than anything else I’ve done before. Making this record, truly, it’s just something I never thought was going to happen in my life, candidly. I’ve talked about it in other albums, I’ve talked about it pretty openly in interviews, the dark side of what I deal with sometimes, I felt like has always been at the forefront and been the most powerful energy in my life.”

Previously about the new album, he has said: “This album is the story of my beginnings in the new world I’ve created for myself. One focused on health, self-love, positivity, understanding, hard work, and most of all second chances. At the end of the day, life is short for all of us. We can’t escape the end, so why not make friends with it and live in a world focused on living a personally fulfilling life?”
