The Rasmus Announce First North American Headline Tour for Fall 2026
Fresh off a Spring 2026 support slot on The Hu US tour, Finnish rockers The Rasmus — Lauri Ylönen (founder, frontman, lead singer-songwriter); Eero Heinonen (bass); Emilia “Emppu” Suhonen (guitar); and Aki Hakala (drums) — are thrilled to announce their first-ever headline tour of North America. The tour kicks off on September 6 in Chicago and runs through October 12 in Los Angeles. Joining the band for the long-time-coming trek are Saint Agnes and Death Valley Dreams.
“It feels surreal that after all these years, we finally get to play our first ever headline tour in the US,” enthuses Ylönen. “We have super devoted fans who some have been waiting over 20 years to see us live. These shows will be loaded with emotion and fierce energy.”
The band will continue on tour after their North American headliner, heading to Latin America for a headline trek through November. The Rasmus will then launch into 2027 with a headline run of Europe, which begins on January 28 and wraps on March 20. Get tickets here.
It is often said that the best bands are the ones which keep surprising you time and time again, in the most thrilling of ways. This is something The Rasmus have been doing since their major label debut, and a creative responsibility they take great pride in. If you’ve listened to any of their albums, you’ll be able to hear a kaleidoscopic collage of heavy guitars against futuristic electronics, as well as pop hooks that can find their way into the heart of music fans of any kind. Best known for their 2003 hit single “In the Shadows,” the band has sold over 5 million albums worldwide (350,000 albums in Finland alone), has earned gold and platinum certifications, and has won numerous awards, both domestic and international, including Finnish EMMAs and an MTV Europe VMA. The Rasmus’ latest album Weirdo is out now via Better Noise Music.
