Scandinavian Nights: Starting in Denmark and Sweden
The journey begins in Århus, Denmark, on November 14th, where Cradle of Filth will perform at VoxHall. This intimate venue will be transformed into a dark and haunting space, echoing with the screams and melodic orchestrations that have made the band legends in the metal scene. The next day, November 15th, they head to Stockholm, Sweden, playing at Fryshuset – Klubben. Tickets for Stockholm are already sold out, proving that Scandinavia’s appetite for heavy music is as strong as ever.
On November 16th, the band will play at Brewhouse in Göteborg, Sweden. Known for its vibrant metal scene, Göteborg promises to deliver an audience that will scream every word along with Dani Filth. These initial shows set the stage for what is expected to be a bone-chilling and adrenaline-fueled European run.
Through Central Europe: Prague and Italy

From there, Cradle of Filth will perform in Trezzo sull’Adda, Italy, at the Live Club on November 20th. Italy, with its historic and gothic architecture, is the perfect setting for Cradle’s dark symphonies. Expect Dani Filth’s guttural growls and high-pitched shrieks to echo hauntingly through the Italian venue, creating an atmosphere straight out of a horror film.
Dark Melodies in Spain and Portugal
Spain will host several major shows, starting with Hospitalet de Llobregat on November 22nd at Sala Salamandra. Cradle of Filth will share the stage once again with Butcher Babies and Mental Cruelty, ensuring a night filled with sonic brutality and gothic pageantry. On November 23rd, the band will perform at Sala La Paqui in Madrid, a venue known for hosting epic metal concerts. Both shows are highly anticipated and will draw in crowds of die-hard metalheads ready to be immersed in darkness.
On November 24th, the tour moves to Lisbon, Portugal, where Cradle of Filth will play at LAV – Lisboa Ao Vivo. Only one ticket remains, so fans are urged to act fast to witness a performance that’s sure to be intense and atmospheric. Portugal’s love for metal will be on full display, with the venue expected to erupt in a frenzy of headbanging and moshing.
Northern Europe: From Switzerland to the Netherlands
By the end of November, Cradle of Filth will grace the stage at Konzertfabrik Z7 in Pratteln, Switzerland, on November 29th. The show is billed By Order Of The Dragon, hinting at a set filled with the band’s most iconic and mythic songs.

The final leg of the European tour includes stops at Melkweg Max in Amsterdam on December 5th and two shows at 013 in Tilburg, Netherlands, on December 8th. The Tilburg show has been labeled the most popular of the tour, and for good reason: 013 is a legendary venue for metal acts, and Cradle of Filth is sure to bring their A-game to close out the European dates.
