No, you’re not dreaming: Gothic metal mainstays Lacuna Coil have unveiled plans to launch a North American headline tour in 2026 to further support this year’s Sleepless Empire.
The Italian outfit outlined their tour schedule today (December 16th), confirming that their springtime trip begins March 24th at the Gramercy Theater in New York City. The 28-show tour progressively works its way out to the West Coast, before looping back for a tour closer at Albany, New York’s Empire Live venue on May 1st.
Metalcore vets Escape the Fate will be providing direct support the whole way through, while death-pop duo VOWWS (who themselves also just revealed tour plans with Marilyn Manson) and Brazilian faction AXTY will be on select dates.
Pre-sales are already live, and are available using the promo code EMPIRE. General ticket sales are up by Friday (December 19th). You’ll find more info here.
As previously reported, Lacuna Coil had come to North America earlier in 2025 to support Sleepless Empire on a tour with Machine Head, In Flames and Unearth.
