International rock sensation The Hives have confirmed an intensive run of global live dates for 2026, following a monumental stadium tour across Latin America with My Chemical Romance. Fresh from playing to nearly half a million fans in Mexico, Brazil, and Chile, the Swedish quintet is set to bring their "reckless abandon" to North America this March before dominating the European festival circuit throughout the summer.
The upcoming US headline leg kicks off on 13 March in Nashville at the Brooklyn Bowl, a show that has already officially sold out, last tickets below. The band continues their trek through the East Coast and Midwest, stopping at iconic venues including The Fillmore in Philadelphia on 16 March and the Brooklyn Paramount on 18 March. Demand for the tour is high, with dates in Asheville, New Haven, and Chicago already hitting capacity. Due to overwhelming interest in Canada, the band will perform two consecutive nights at History in Toronto on 22 and 23 March.
As the weather warms, your favorite live sensations shift their focus to massive open-air gatherings. The summer festival season begins in Mexico at Festival City on 11 April, before the band returns to Europe in June for a string of legendary appearances. High-profile slots include Germany’s twin Rock am Ring and Rock im Park events, Norway’s Bergenfest, and a highly anticipated show at La Prima Estate in Italy alongside Jack White.
The Hives will also bring their "tyre-screeching anthems" to heavy-hitting festivals like Hellfest in France on 21 June and Tons of Rock in Oslo. The tour continues through July and August with stops at Barcelona’s Cruïlla Summer Festival and Belgium’s Pukkelpop.
These performances support their latest long-playing opus, The Hives Forever Forever The Hives, an album critics have described as a "glorious shot in the arm." To celebrate the upcoming dates, the band recently shared a new claymation video for "Roll Out The Red Carpet," crafted by artist Cissi Efraimsson. Tickets for the remaining US and European shows are moving fast as the band continues their quest for global "rock ‘n’ roll glory."
