Spiritbox
Location: SECC
Spiritbox announce their biggest UK headline tour to date with the Tsunami Sea arena tour in 2026. Coming to Glasgow’s SECC on 12th September 2026.
For many artists, a meteoric rise can often mean a sudden plateau. However, for Grammy-nominated progressive heavy metal mainstays Spiritbox, there appears to be no end in sight on their near-constant ascent to the top.
Formed in 2017 in the picturesque yet isolated region of Victoria, Canada, by vocalist Courtney Laplante and guitarist Mike Stringer, Spiritbox would fully cement themselves as a household name in the summer of 2020 with the release of their blistering breakout single ‘Holy Roller’, along with a host of other captivating singles shortly after, resulting in a media firestorm of hype.
With new and existing fans eagerly watching their next move, Spiritbox exceeded every expectation imaginable in 2021 with the release of their genre-defining debut studio album Eternal Blue via Pale Chord/Rise Records. Eternal Blue, which debuted at No.13 on the Billboard 200, kicked open the doors of the heavy metal scene and rewrote the genre’s playbook with 12 stunning tracks that incorporated everything from djent and post-metal to infectious synth-laden pop sensibilities and cinematic arrangements, brought fully to life by the inimitable Laplante’s ethereal and commanding vocal performances.
The album cycle for Eternal Blue saw Spirtbox not only grace the covers of esteemed music publications such as Revolver, Alternative Press, Rock Sound, and Kerrang!, among many others but would also solidify the band as one of the most in-demand groups in live music today with their one-hundred percent sold out, first-ever headlining tour in support of the album which saw ticket sales over 40,000. The band would also share the stage with seasoned metal veterans such as Limp Bizkit and Ghost and win Best International Breakthrough Band at the 2021 Heavy Music Awards.
Festivals
In 2022, Spiritbox secured highly-coveted spots at numerous major US rock and metal festivals and scored two JUNO awards, respectively. Spiritbox would also round out their current lineup with the inclusion of drummer Zev Rose and bassist Josh Gilbert in addition to releasing their sonically experimental EP Rotoscope in June of that year as well as a cross-genre collaboration with dubstep artist Illenium for the track ‘Shivering’.
During another whirlwind year for the band, including a US tour with Shinedown and Papa Roach, Spiritbox wrote and recorded their critically acclaimed EP, The Fear of Fear, released in November 2023. The EP features the single ‘Jaded’, which was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards. In the same month, the band would make another genre-bending splash with a high-profile collaboration with rapper Megan Thee Stallion for a remix of her song ‘Cobra’.
In 2024, with over 300 million plus streams in the US alone and 450 thousand total combined album sales, Spiritbox has continued to bring their incendiary live performances across the globe. With an appearance at the 2024 Sick New World festival in Las Vegas, Nevada – as well as select dates in the UK with nu-metal pioneers Korn (with a US date at BMO Stadium to follow in Los Angeles this October), and various European festivals including an appearance at the iconic Reading and Leeds Festival in August, Spiritbox have seized every opportunity without missing a single beat. The following year, they supported British metalcore titans Bring Me The Horizon’s stadium show in Mexico City, playing to an audience of 80,000 plus and themselves went on to headline London’s Alexandra Palace.
The return to British Shores
2026 marked Spiritbox’s return to British shores with the Tsunami Sea arena tour, the band’s biggest headline tour to date, with genre-defying support acts in Jinjer and Dying Wish joining them throughout.
Whatever comes next for Spiritbox, one thing is for sure: expect the unexpected and a firm commitment to creating wholly authentic music with passion, purpose, and constant evolution.
