Swedish extreme metal innovators Meshuggah have announced their 2027 North American tour, bringing Testament and Blood Incantation along for an extensive run spanning February through May.
Dubbed The Forty-Year Anomaly Tour, the trek begins February 12 at Toronto’s Coca-Cola Coliseum before traveling across the United States and Canada, with performances scheduled at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Welcome to Rockville, Sonic Temple and Milwaukee Metal Fest.
The lineup brings together three markedly different approaches to heavy music. Meshuggah’s intricate rhythmic structures and crushing, mechanical precision will share the bill with Testament’s Bay Area thrash and Blood Incantation’s progressive, atmospheric death metal.
The tour also promises a career-spanning Meshuggah set, celebrating the band’s musical history while bringing its formidable live production to theaters and larger venues throughout North America.
