Long-running Italian metal band Lacuna Coil will return to the United States in spring 2026 for its Sleepless Empire U.S. tour with special guest Escape the Fate.
Tour, running from March 24 to May 1, also will feature opening acts VOWWS (March 24 to April 13) and AXTY (April 15 to 29).
An artist ticket pre-sale is running through 9:45 a.m. local time Friday, Dec. 19 (code: EMPIRE), and the general on-sale will start at 10 a.m. local time Friday, Dec. 19.
The tour announcement comes with a new official video for “Hosting the Shadow,” with footage of Lacuna Coil performing at Aftershock festival in October 2025. Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe, who is featured on the track, joined the band onstage.
“Filming the video for ‘Hosting the Shadow’ at Aftershock, sharing the stage with my family in Lacuna Coil and with Randy Blythe was a truly cathartic experience,” vocalist Cristina Scabbia said. “Randy is not only an incredible, professional musician, he’s also a precious friend and has added so much to our song. I think the video shows clearly the level of emotion and joy we shared both off and onstage.- I used that positive energy to give it my all even though I was performing with a fever, ha ha! Please enjoy the video, I truly hope you like it!”
