🎸💀 THE WOLVES ARE COMING, BUTT! German power metal giants POWERWOLF have announced their spectacular Moral & Madness World Tour 2027, featuring 23 enormous European arena concerts, including TWO UK performances at Manchester’s CO-OP LIVE on Tuesday 2 November and London’s OVO ARENA WEMBLEY on Wednesday 3 November 2027!

And this isn’t going to be an ordinary metal tour! POWERWOLF are preparing their biggest stage production yet, promising an even more extravagant heavy metal spectacle, complete with the theatrical atmosphere, gothic imagery and thunderous anthems that have made them one of Europe’s most successful metal bands. Better still, they’ll be bringing a BRAND-NEW STUDIO ALBUM along for the ride!

Joining the wolves will be Finnish cello metal legends APOCALYPTICA as special guests, while Swedish power metal outfit MAJESTICA, featuring former SABATON guitarist TOMMY JOHANSSON, will open every night. Tickets go on general sale at 10am GMT on Friday 13 November 2026, with fan presales beginning Tuesday 10 November.

🐺 The Wolves Are Coming Back To Britain!

Well then, Riff Report crew!

Start polishing those battle jackets.

Prepare your finest devil horns.

And somebody warn the neighbours that a rather large pack of German werewolves is heading our way!

Because POWERWOLF HAVE ANNOUNCED THEIR RETURN TO THE UK!

And judging by the details released so far, this could be one of the biggest power metal tours of 2027.

The German heavy metal phenomenon have confirmed the Moral & Madness World Tour 2027, an enormous European arena run taking in 23 concerts across 15 countries.

And right in the middle of that metallic madness are two particularly exciting British dates.

MANCHESTER!

LONDON!

TWO HUGE ARENA SHOWS!

That’s right, butt.

POWERWOLF are returning to Britain, and they’re bringing a serious amount of musical firepower with them.

Not only will the band perform with a completely new stage production, but the tour is also expected to coincide with the release of their next studio album.

And if that wasn’t enough, they’ve assembled a fantastic supporting bill.

APOCALYPTICA.

MAJESTICA.

POWERWOLF.

THREE BANDS. ONE EVENING. AN ABSOLUTE FEAST OF HEAVY METAL!

Now that’s what we call a proper night out!

📅 POWERWOLF UK Tour Dates 2027 – Manchester And London Confirmed!

Let’s start with the information British metalheads have been waiting for.

**Tuesday 2 November 2027
Co-op Live, Manchester

**Wednesday 3 November 2027
OVO Arena Wembley, London

Both concerts will feature:

HEADLINERS: POWERWOLF

SPECIAL GUESTS: APOCALYPTICA

OPENING ACT: MAJESTICA

These will be the band’s two announced UK performances on the tour.

There are no confirmed Welsh, Scottish or additional English dates in the initial itinerary.

And while we’re obviously keeping our fingers crossed for more UK appearances, we’ll stick to what’s officially announced rather than inventing a surprise Cardiff show.

Although, let’s be honest.

POWERWOLF at Utilita Arena Cardiff would be bloody magnificent, mun!

🔥 Falk Maria Schlegel Promises The Ultimate Powerwolf Show!

If there’s one thing POWERWOLF understand, it’s how to make a concert feel like an event.

And for the new tour, they’re promising something even bigger.

Organist Falk Maria Schlegel has expressed his excitement about returning to the road in autumn 2027.

He promises an enormous new production and says the band have plenty of spectacular surprises planned.

According to Schlegel:

“We’re incredibly excited to hit the road again in autumn 2027 and bring the ultimate POWERWOLF show to you.”

And he isn’t simply talking about a few extra lights or a slightly larger backdrop.

The announcement describes an entirely new theatrical production designed to take the band’s heavy metal spectacle to another level.

More elaborate.

More intense.

And more deeply connected to POWERWOLF’s extraordinary gothic universe.

A NEW CHAPTER. A NEW ALBUM. A NEW METAL MASS!

That’s the message coming from the band.

And considering what they’ve already achieved with their live performances, those are some pretty enormous expectations to live up to.

But if anybody understands how to turn a metal concert into an unforgettable theatrical experience, it’s POWERWOLF.

🎭 A Gig Or A Heavy Metal Ceremony? Why Not Both!

For anybody who’s never experienced POWERWOLF live, here’s something worth understanding.

This is not a conventional heavy metal concert.

The band have built an entire visual identity around gothic religious imagery, werewolves, dark folklore and elaborate theatrical presentation.

Their performances often resemble enormous ceremonies.

Frontman Attila Dorn takes centre stage with his powerful vocals and commanding presence.

Falk Maria Schlegel delivers theatrical keyboard performances while interacting enthusiastically with the audience.

The guitars roar.

The drums thunder.

And the whole production is designed to create an atmosphere that feels distinctly POWERWOLF.

Their recent concerts have featured spectacular lighting, pyrotechnics, enormous LED screens and elaborate stage effects.

The band’s 2026 live release Wildlive (Live At Olympiahalle) captured just how ambitious their productions have become.

Filmed during their 2024 Wolfsnächte tour finale in Munich, the show featured theatrical scenes, dramatic lighting and enormous visual effects.

We’re talking about a band that has previously incorporated a fire-breathing church organ and elaborate stage storytelling into its performances.

Not exactly your average three-piece playing beside the fruit machine in the corner of the pub!

And now the band are promising to go even further.

🔥 What Can Fans Expect From The 2027 Production?

POWERWOLF have confirmed that an entirely new stage production is being prepared.

The announcement promises a larger and more ambitious theatrical presentation.

However, the exact production specifications haven’t yet been revealed.

That means we don’t currently know the dimensions of the stage, the number of lighting fixtures, the pyrotechnic inventory or how much equipment will be required.

But based on the group’s established production style, fans can expect the dramatic visual identity that has become synonymous with their concerts.

Big music. Big atmosphere. And quite possibly the most theatrical pack of werewolves in the business!

💿 A Brand-New Powerwolf Studio Album Is Coming!

Now then, here’s the part that makes the announcement even more exciting.

POWERWOLF ARE PLANNING A NEW STUDIO ALBUM!

According to the band’s latest announcement, the record is expected to arrive ahead of the autumn 2027 tour.

That means fans should have fresh material to enjoy before the wolves return to British arenas.

But there are a few important details still to be confirmed.

At present, the band have not revealed the new album’s official title, release date, tracklist or lead single.

Those announcements are expected to follow as the album campaign develops.

For now, we know that the band intend to bring new music into their next touring chapter.

And that’s certainly worth celebrating.

Because POWERWOLF have spent more than two decades creating some of the most recognisable anthems in modern European heavy metal.

Their combination of powerful guitar riffs, theatrical keyboards, enormous choruses and dark storytelling has become unmistakable.

And every new album provides another opportunity to expand that musical universe.

🐺 Wake Up The Wicked – The Album That Took Powerwolf To Another Level!

The band’s most recent studio album, Wake Up The Wicked, arrived on 26 July 2024 through Napalm Records.

The album became another major success, reaching Number One in Germany.

Produced by Joost van den Broek, it combined POWERWOLF’s familiar theatrical power metal sound with ambitious storytelling and enormous choruses.

The record included songs such as:

  • Bless ‘Em With The Blade
  • Sinners Of The Seven Seas
  • 1589
  • Heretic Hunters
  • Wake Up The Wicked
  • Joan Of Arc
  • We Don’t Wanna Be No Saints
  • Vargamor

One particularly memorable track was 1589, inspired by the historical story of Peter Stump, a figure associated with German werewolf folklore.

The song demonstrated POWERWOLF’s fascination with mixing historical themes, dark legends and theatrical musical arrangements.

Meanwhile, tracks such as Sinners Of The Seven Seas delivered the enormous singalong choruses that have become essential to the band’s live performances.

And with another studio album on the way, fans will undoubtedly be wondering which new songs will eventually join the setlist.

🎻 APOCALYPTICA Join The Tour – Finnish Cello Metal Royalty!

Now then.

Let’s talk about the special guests.

Because this is an absolutely brilliant booking.

APOCALYPTICA!

The Finnish cello metal legends will join POWERWOLF throughout the tour.

And if you’re unfamiliar with APOCALYPTICA, prepare yourself for something rather different.

Because while most metal bands build their sound around electric guitars, APOCALYPTICA became famous for performing heavy metal arrangements on cellos.

Yes.

CELLOS!

The instruments more commonly associated with orchestras and classical music.

But in the hands of APOCALYPTICA, they can produce some of the most extraordinary sounds in heavy music.

🎸 From Metallica Covers To International Success

The band’s breakthrough came with their 1996 album Plays Metallica By Four Cellos.

The record featured instrumental interpretations of METALLICA songs.

And it helped establish APOCALYPTICA’s reputation for combining classical instrumentation with heavy metal intensity.

Over the years, the group developed a substantial catalogue of original material.

Their music has incorporated instrumental arrangements, guest vocalists and collaborations with numerous artists.

They’ve also explored heavier production techniques while maintaining the cello as the foundation of their sound.

The result is something genuinely distinctive.

And their live performances can be extraordinary.

🔥 Why Apocalyptica Are Perfect For Powerwolf

There’s a particularly interesting connection between these bands.

POWERWOLF’s music is enormously theatrical.

Their arrangements rely heavily on melody, dramatic atmosphere and powerful instrumental passages.

APOCALYPTICA bring a different approach to those same qualities.

Their music can be atmospheric.

Aggressive.

Melodic.

And surprisingly heavy.

That makes them a fascinating addition to the tour.

Imagine watching a set packed with crushing cello arrangements before POWERWOLF arrive to deliver their enormous gothic metal production.

That’s a rather spectacular combination, butt!

⚔️ MAJESTICA Open Every Show – Tommy Johansson Brings Swedish Power Metal Mayhem!

And the opening band?

Well, they’ve got a particularly interesting connection to another enormous European metal name.

SABATON!

Swedish power metal outfit MAJESTICA will open every concert on the tour.

The band features guitarist and vocalist Tommy Johansson, who previously performed with SABATON.

Johansson became well known for his impressive guitar ability, powerful vocals and enthusiasm for melodic heavy metal.

He departed SABATON in 2024 to concentrate on his own musical projects.

And MAJESTICA provide an opportunity for him to explore a different side of his musical interests.

🎸 Who Are Majestica?

MAJESTICA developed from Johansson’s earlier project REINXEED.

The band are known for their energetic mixture of melodic power metal, fast guitar passages and enormous vocal harmonies.

Their catalogue includes:

Above The Sky (2019)

A Christmas Carol (2020)

Power Train (2025)

The music combines soaring choruses with the kind of technically demanding guitar work associated with traditional European power metal.

And that’s exactly the sort of sound that should appeal to POWERWOLF fans.

🤘 Three Different Approaches To Melodic Metal

What makes this tour particularly interesting is the variety of musical styles represented.

MAJESTICA bring classic melodic power metal.

APOCALYPTICA deliver their distinctive cello-driven heaviness.

And POWERWOLF finish the evening with theatrical gothic power metal.

Three very different musical identities.

But all united by powerful melodies and dramatic arrangements.

That’s not just a support line-up. That’s a proper metal feast!

📅 POWERWOLF – Moral & Madness World Tour 2027: All 23 Dates!

Right then, Riff Report crew.

Here’s the complete announced tour itinerary.

The tour begins in Luxembourg on 27 October and concludes in Sweden on 18 December 2027.

And with major arenas across Europe included, it’s another enormous undertaking for the German metal giants.

The schedule is particularly impressive when you consider the amount of equipment and personnel involved in a production of this scale.

Moving a full arena concert between different countries requires extensive preparation.

Stage equipment.

Lighting.

Sound systems.

Transport.

Crews.

And the musicians themselves.

It’s a substantial operation.

And POWERWOLF are promising that their 2027 production will be their most ambitious yet.

🐺 Who Are POWERWOLF? Meet The German Metal Phenomenon!

For anyone relatively new to the band, POWERWOLF have become one of the most successful names in modern European heavy metal.

Formed in 2004, the group developed a distinctive identity combining power metal with gothic imagery and theatrical storytelling.

Their lyrics frequently explore werewolves, vampires, religious imagery, folklore and historical themes.

And their music is designed for enormous audience participation.

The choruses are huge.

The guitars are powerful.

And the atmosphere feels almost ceremonial.

Over the years, POWERWOLF have developed an international following through albums, extensive touring and increasingly elaborate stage productions.

The band have achieved five Number One albums in Germany, along with gold and platinum certifications.

And their performances at major festivals have helped establish them as genuine arena headliners.

🎸 Meet The Powerwolf Band Members

The band’s established line-up features five musicians.

🎤 Attila Dorn – Lead Vocals

The unmistakable voice of POWERWOLF.

Dorn’s theatrical performance style and powerful vocals are essential to the band’s identity.

He combines dramatic delivery with enormous crowd interaction, creating the atmosphere of a gothic metal ceremony.

🎹 Falk Maria Schlegel – Organ And Keyboards

Falk provides the church-organ textures and theatrical keyboard arrangements that have become central to POWERWOLF’s sound.

He’s also one of the group’s most energetic stage performers.

🎸 Charles Greywolf – Guitar

Charles helps drive the band’s enormous guitar sound.

His riffs form part of the heavy musical foundation beneath the orchestral and keyboard arrangements.

🎸 Matthew Greywolf – Guitar

Matthew contributes guitar work and has played an important role in shaping the band’s musical identity.

Together, the Greywolf guitar partnership provides much of POWERWOLF’s unmistakable heaviness.

🥁 Roel Van Helden – Drums

Roel supplies the rhythmic power behind the songs.

His drumming helps maintain the speed and intensity associated with the band’s energetic power metal arrangements.

Together, these musicians have developed one of the most recognisable sounds in modern metal.

🔥 The Songs We Want To Hear On The 2027 Tour!

With a new album on the way, the setlist will undoubtedly be a major talking point.

At present, no official Moral & Madness setlist has been announced.

But POWERWOLF have an extraordinary catalogue of live favourites.

And there are certainly a few songs we’d love to hear in Manchester and London.

🎶 The Riff Report’s Powerwolf Setlist Wishlist

Song Original album We Drink Your Blood Blood Of The Saints Sanctified With Dynamite Blood Of The Saints Amen & Attack Preachers Of The Night Army Of The Night Blessed & Possessed Armata Strigoi Blessed & Possessed Demons Are A Girl’s Best Friend The Sacrament Of Sin Fire & Forgive The Sacrament Of Sin Beast Of Gévaudan Call Of The Wild Dancing With The Dead Call Of The Wild Sinners Of The Seven Seas Wake Up The Wicked 1589 Wake Up The Wicked Wake Up The Wicked Wake Up The Wicked

And there’ll presumably be new material to consider once the next album is announced.

But here’s the thing.

POWERWOLF have reached the stage of their career where they possess so many popular songs that fitting everything into one concert becomes a challenge.

And that’s not a bad problem to have.

Imagine hearing Army Of The Night with an entire arena singing along.

Or We Drink Your Blood surrounded by enormous gothic stage effects.

Then finish the evening with a huge metal anthem as thousands of fans raise their fists.

Now THAT sounds like a proper evening of metal madness, butt!

🤘 Powerwolf’s Wembley Triumph And Wacken Open Air 2026!

The newly announced tour follows another extraordinary year for POWERWOLF.

In March 2026, they returned to Britain’s OVO Arena Wembley as part of their Wake Up The Wicked Tour.

The London performance marked an important milestone for the band.

Their first sold-out headline show at the historic venue demonstrated how far they’d progressed within the UK live music scene.

And the supporting bill featured fellow metal favourites HAMMERFALL and WIND ROSE.

A serious evening of heavy metal.

But POWERWOLF’s achievements didn’t stop there.

🔥 Wacken Open Air 2026 – An Enormous Metal Spectacle!

On 1 August 2026, POWERWOLF delivered a monumental headline performance at Wacken Open Air in Germany.

The festival is one of the world’s most celebrated heavy metal events.

And the band performed on its Faster Main Stage in front of an estimated 70,000 fans.

The production included dramatic lighting, pyrotechnics and the elaborate visual presentation associated with their music.

It was another major achievement.

And one that demonstrated their position among Europe’s leading metal acts.

From releasing independent power metal albums to headlining enormous international festivals, POWERWOLF have built a remarkable career.

And the 2027 tour suggests they’re determined to push things even further.

🎭 Why Powerwolf’s Live Shows Are So Different!

There are plenty of technically talented metal bands.

And there are countless artists capable of delivering powerful performances.

But POWERWOLF have developed something particularly distinctive.

They’ve created an entire musical world.

Their stage imagery is closely connected to their recordings.

The characters.

The theatrical atmosphere.

The artwork.

And the recurring themes of folklore and gothic mythology.

Everything contributes to the experience.

And that makes the live show feel larger than the individual songs.

🔥 The Importance Of Stage Production

For artists such as POWERWOLF, production isn’t simply decoration.

It’s part of the storytelling.

Lighting can establish atmosphere.

Video screens can introduce visual themes.

Pyrotechnics can emphasise dramatic musical moments.

And carefully designed stage effects can help transform a conventional arena into something resembling the band’s fictional universe.

That’s one of the reasons their performances have become so ambitious.

And it’s also why the announcement of a completely new production is such a significant part of the 2027 tour.

The band aren’t simply returning with the same show.

They’re promising something new.

Something larger.

And something designed around the next chapter of their music.

🐉 Could Powerwolf Bring The Metal Mass To Wales?

Now then.

Here’s the question we have to ask.

WHAT ABOUT CYMRU, BUTT?

Wales has an enormous heavy metal community.

And we’re certainly no strangers to a proper theatrical rock show.

From the underground venues of Cardiff and Swansea to major arena concerts, Welsh music fans have demonstrated their enthusiasm for spectacular live performances.

So the idea of POWERWOLF bringing their enormous gothic metal production to Wales is particularly appealing.

Imagine Utilita Arena Cardiff filled with werewolf masks, battle jackets and thousands of enthusiastic metalheads.

The stage lights disappear.

An enormous church-organ introduction begins.

And suddenly the whole arena erupts as POWERWOLF launch into Army Of The Night.

Now that would be a bloody magnificent evening, mun!

Of course, no Welsh concert is included in the newly announced tour.

The UK dates are currently Manchester and London.

But we can certainly hope that POWERWOLF return to Cymru at some point in the future.

Until then, Manchester will be a particularly attractive option for fans travelling from North Wales.

And London may appeal to those coming from South Wales.

If you’re planning to travel, it’s worth considering accommodation and transport before securing tickets.

Especially if you’re intending to attend both shows.

❤️ Three Bands, Three Different Musical Worlds!

One of the strongest aspects of this announcement is the supporting line-up.

Because rather than booking three bands with virtually identical musical approaches, the organisers have assembled a varied evening of melodic metal.

MAJESTICA bring traditional power metal.

APOCALYPTICA offer a unique cello-driven approach.

And POWERWOLF provide the spectacular gothic metal finale.

That variety should make the concerts particularly interesting.

For fans of SABATON and melodic power metal, MAJESTICA will be an important attraction.

For listeners interested in experimental heavy music and unusual instrumental arrangements, APOCALYPTICA offer something completely different.

And for anyone who loves massive choruses, theatrical stage production and the unmistakable atmosphere of POWERWOLF, the headliners promise an enormous finale.

THREE DISTINCTIVE BANDS. ONE MASSIVE METAL CELEBRATION.

And that’s exactly the kind of tour package we’d love to see more often.

🔥 The Riff Report Verdict – Powerwolf Are Bringing The Metal Mass To Another Level!

Well then, Riff Report crew.

This is one absolutely enormous announcement.

POWERWOLF have developed from an unconventional German metal project into one of Europe’s most successful heavy music acts.

They’ve achieved chart-topping albums.

Sold-out arena performances.

Major festival headline appearances.

And an international following that continues to grow.

But rather than resting on those achievements, they’re preparing another ambitious chapter.

A brand-new studio album.

A completely redesigned stage production.

And 23 huge European concerts.

With two British arena dates confirmed.

MANCHESTER ON 2 NOVEMBER 2027!

LONDON ON 3 NOVEMBER 2027!

And the special guests make this tour particularly exciting.

APOCALYPTICA bring their extraordinary cello metal sound.

MAJESTICA provide a full-throttle melodic power metal opening.

And POWERWOLF promise a headline spectacle designed to surpass their previous productions.

Of course, the details of the new album and stage design remain under wraps.

We’ll need to see what the band eventually reveal.

But the announcement itself is certainly enough to get fans excited.

And considering POWERWOLF’s recent Wembley success and enormous Wacken performance, expectations will be particularly high.

The wolves have already conquered major arenas.

Now they’re promising to build an even bigger metal mass.

And that’s something we’re very interested in witnessing.

So get those calendars marked.

Keep an eye on the presales.

And prepare for one of autumn 2027’s biggest European metal tours.

THE WOLVES ARE COMING!

THE CHURCH ORGANS ARE READY!

AND THE HEAVY METAL MASS IS ABOUT TO GET ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE!

LONG LIVE POWERWOLF! LONG LIVE APOCALYPTICA! LONG LIVE MAJESTICA!

AND KEEP THOSE HORNS RAISED, BUTT! 🐺🤘🔥🐉


💬 Have Your Say, Riff Report Crew!

Right then, you wonderful bunch of metalheads!

Are YOU planning to see POWERWOLF on the Moral & Madness World Tour 2027?

Will you be heading to Manchester?

London?

Or are you planning a proper European metal adventure?

What do you think of APOCALYPTICA and MAJESTICA joining the tour?

And are you excited about the prospect of a brand-new POWERWOLF album?

We’d also love to know which songs absolutely MUST appear on the setlist.

We Drink Your Blood?

Army Of The Night?

Demons Are A Girl’s Best Friend?

Amen & Attack?

1589?

Or perhaps something from the forthcoming album?

And here’s another question.

Which Welsh venue would YOU love to see POWERWOLF perform in?

Cardiff?

Swansea?

Newport?

Or somewhere completely different?

Get involved in the comments and share your thoughts!

Because one thing’s certain.

AUTUMN 2027 IS GOING TO BE ABSOLUTELY HOWLING!

KEEP SUPPORTING LIVE METAL, KEEP DISCOVERING NEW MUSIC AND KEEP THOSE WELSH DEVIL HORNS HIGH, BUTT! 🐉🤘🔥

Michael

🎸 About Michael Michael is the founder, editor and chief riff wrangler of The Riff Report, an independent Welsh rock, metal and alternative music publication built by fans, for fans. A lifelong rock and metal fan, Michael has spent years immersed in the music, culture and community that surround the heavier side of life. From discovering new bands and digging through classic albums to standing in muddy festival fields, squeezing into packed venues and spending far too much time near the front of a stage, music has always been much more than background noise — it is a massive part of who he is. That passion eventually became The Riff Report, a publication created to celebrate the bands, artists, venues, festivals, photographers, promoters and fans who keep the rock and metal world turning. Michael spends much of the year covering gigs, festivals, tours, album releases, new singles, interviews and music news, with a camera never too far away and a press pass usually hanging somewhere around his neck. Whether it is a huge arena show, a major outdoor festival or a tiny grassroots venue packed with people discovering their new favourite band, he believes every part of the scene has stories worth telling. For Michael, one of the biggest joys of music journalism is being able to shine a light on artists at every level. The Riff Report is just as interested in the hungry independent band playing to 50 people as it is in the global act headlining to 50,000. Supporting unsigned, independent and grassroots musicians is a huge part of the publication’s identity, because every legendary band started somewhere. Sometimes the next big thing is not on a massive billboard or a major-label playlist — sometimes they are crammed onto a tiny stage in a pub, plugging in their own gear and hoping somebody in the room remembers their name. Michael wants The Riff Report to be one of the places that remembers.
