Arch Enemy hasn’t played North America with Lauren Hart yet. That changes October 5th, in Riverside. I’ll be there.
Arch Enemy and The Black Dahlia Murder have announced “Wrath Across America 2026,” a co-headlining North American run spanning 30 dates from October 5 through November 16. Septicflesh, Crypta, and Thrown Into Exile round out the full bill. Pre-sale starts Wednesday, May 20 at 10 a.m. local; general on-sale follows Friday, May 22 at 10 a.m. local.
This is Lauren Hart’s North American debut with Arch Enemy. The former Once Human vocalist was unveiled as the band’s new frontwoman earlier this year, stepping in after Alissa White-Gluz’s departure. She’s had the European summer festival circuit to settle into — Wrath Across America is where we find out what Arch Enemy’s new era actually sounds like on this side of the Atlantic.
Black Dahlia Murder co-headlining this isn’t a sympathy slot — it’s earned. Since Trevor Strnad’s death in 2022, the band could have quietly wound down. Instead, they put out Servitude in 2024 and it’s one of the sharpest records of their career. They’ve been touring relentlessly, and they deserve to be on this stage.
And then Septicflesh shows up as support. Codex Omega has been in my rotation for years. Getting them as an opener — on a bill this loaded — is the cherry on top of a lineup that already had no business being this good.
