Gnome is delighted to add UK tour dates in March and April to their growing touring throughout Europe in 2026.
The Antwerp powertrio piles riff upon riff, hell yeah! These normal sized Belgians rip, bang and rumble through a landscape of stoner, prog and heavy metal, inhabited by mythical creatures and full of unexpected twists.
The forthcoming UK tour is five headline shows and three festivals – Oxford’s Buried In Smoke Fest, Portsmouth’s Takedown Festival and London’s iconic Desertfest. The 2026 dates follow a sold out UK tour in 2025.
Support on all UK headline dates (aside from Nottingham) comes from UK act Wall – https://www.facebook.com/wallukrock
Gnome are known for their powerful sound and whimsical personality, which fully comes through in their hugely successful DIY videoclips, such as the impromptu Wenceslas dance, which has had over 3.4 million views on YouTube to date.
Armed with red pointed hats, the trio will bring to life their eclectic sound and style live in 2026 – fourteen shows across five countries, including a performance at France’s legendary Hellfest. The band will be performing fan favourites, as well as hidden gems taken from their three studio albums Father of Time (2018), King (2022), and Vestiges of Verumex Visidrome (2024).
Gnome says, “Hello friends! We’re back for more pointy hatted bastardry and lukewarm beer. With special guests WALL, thx to Buried In Smoke Promotions. Hope to see you there you beautiful bastards!”
