Hammerfall is headed back to North America this fall for the Freedom World Crusade North America 2026 Tour. The Swedish heavy metal veterans will launch the run on September 12 in Raleigh, North Carolina, and wrap things up on October 8 in Seattle, Washington. Support on the trek will come from Evergrey and Elvenking, with the Raleigh stop listed as a no-Evergrey date. Tickets and 2026 U.S. VIP upgrades are available now through the band’s official tour page.

The run follows the release of HammerFall’s latest album, Avenge The Fallen (Nuclear Blast Records), which arrived in August 2024. The upcoming dates give North American fans a full tour built around the band’s current era, while also connecting to their appearance at ProgPower USA 2026 in Atlanta on September 11 alongside Evergrey and Elvenking. Fans can expect a set packed with triumphant anthems, fist-raising choruses, and the kind of traditional heavy metal power that has kept HammerFall at the front of the genre for decades. With a stacked package and a coast-to-coast routing, Freedom World Crusade North America 2026 looks set to be one of the strongest heavy metal tours hitting the U.S. and Canada this fall.
