D-A-D and The 69 Eyes, Tour 2026

To celebrate their 40th band anniversary and following the release of their latest studio album, "Speed ​​Of Darkness," acclaimed by fans and the music press last year (released via AFM Records), Danish hard rock icons DAD have teamed up with Finnish dark rockers THE 69 EYES for a joint "COWPUNKS AND GLAMPIRES TOUR 2025"!

DAD on the upcoming joint tour with THE 69 EYES:
"Longtime friends and 'heavy as hell.' The 69 Eyes & DAD are joining forces for a solid European tour. We've wanted to do this for years—both bands have been through it all and emerged stronger—join us for some great evenings, together, out of the darkness!"

"These guys were our early inspiration when we formed the band," reveal THE 69 EYES. "We heard the call of the wild and understood it. And share their wisdom: Long hair is key!"

In 2024, hard rock legends DAD celebrated their 40th anniversary and were even honored with an exhibition at the National Museum in their hometown of Copenhagen, but that was far from the end of it. The quartet is brimming with energy, and on their latest album, "Speed ​​Of Darkness," the band rocks harder than ever! Rock Hard magazine wrote it's "an album without misfires, but packed with hits," while Norway Rock Magazine confirmed: "DAD have delivered again – as always!" And Get Ready To Rock in the UK attested: "Album number 13 is a 14-track masterclass with no weak moment in sight. Danish legends DAD recently celebrated their 40th anniversary, and as the new album "Speed ​​of Darkness" proves, they sound as fresh as ever – in fact, all new bands should be given a copy of this album and told, "This is what 40 sounds like!"
Following top chart positions, a major festival tour, and an extensive European tour, including a sold-out show at Denmark's Royal Arena last year (which will be released as a 4x vinyl / 2CD edition on Record Store Day, April 12th, by Warner Records Denmark), DAD are teaming up with another cult band from the far north this coming autumn!

When the sun sets and the moon rises, the Finnish gothic glamour ambassadors of THE 69 EYES proudly don their sunglasses, leather jackets, and black eyeliner to become one with the night. Formed over 30 years ago in the smoky, dark, seedy bars of Helsinki and centered around Scandinavian gothic rock icon Jyrki 69, the band has lived up to its name, releasing thirteen groundbreaking albums, touring the world, even achieving platinum certification in their home country, and achieving the Rock'n'Roll never lost.
With a penchant for morbidity, glamour, sex, and the supernatural, THE 69 EYES embody both the essence of Scandinavian gothic rock and the lustful decadence of Sunset Strip glamour, reaching everyone from gothic rockers to metalheads, from glam rockers to rockabilly fanatics. Their sound is classy, ​​sexy, raunchy, and dramatic: their latest album, "Death of Darkness," celebrates this unholy union with a new series of love songs to the darkness within us all.

"Come & have a drink" with this magnificent live package.
The night is young and life is short!
