Jinjer reveal 2026 UK and Ireland tour dates

Fresh from their Apex Stage triumph at Download Festival on Sunday, Jinjer have just announced a UK/Ireland headline tour.

The band’s previously-announced European 2026 Duél run is getting an additional five dates – with the band set to play Glasgow, Dublin, Manchester, Birmingham and London in January.

“Coming to the UK is always fun,” singer Tatiana Shmayluk told us at Download, “although we come here a lot and have to get a stamp in our passport each time, so they’re completely filled up with British visas and we keep having to get new ones. That’s you guys’ fault!

“On this run of festivals we’re doing right now, and with the new album, we definitely feel like everything is bigger. We are stepping to our next era, and when we start our own headline shows you’ll see what I mean. It’s all behind the curtains right now, so no spoilers.

“What I can say is: I love when we get to do bigger stages like we’re going to be doing. I love to just run around on the stage, actually running. It challenges me onstage – and I get my steps in!”

Catch them live at the following:

In our review of their Download set, we said that, ‘Jinjer’s masterful groove metal successfully combines the feral with feeling, and that they were ‘welcomed like the heroes they are’.
