In fall 2026, power metal band DragonForce will set forth on its largest North American tour in more than two decades, celebrating the 20th anniversary of its breakthrough album, “Inhuman Rampage.”
It’s the record that birthed the Platinum-selling single “Through the Fire and Flames” and spent 23 consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200.
Earlier this month, DragonForce announced Alissa White-Gluz (Blue Medusa, ex-Arch Enemy) as its new vocalist and first frontwoman, alongside longtime frontman Marc Hudson, and previewed the upcoming tour with performances at the Welcome to Rockville and Sonic Temple festivals.
“Alissa joining the band is an expansion of everything we’ve done up to this point,” said DragonForce co-founder and lead guitarist Herman Li at the time of White-Gluz’s announcement. “Twenty years is a long time to do anything, let alone survive the music industry and still be so inspired to continue doing what we love. Together we will honor what made Inhuman Rampage matter, while showing people exactly where we’re going next. Having Alissa in the room changes everything. She doesn’t just sing, she makes all aspects of our music better. And she sounds incredible live! I can’t wait for the fans to see her and hear what we have been working on.”
“As a long-time fan of DragonForce, having seen them in concert multiple times over the last 20 years, I am beyond excited to be bringing such iconic music to life with these amazingly skilled musicians in such a fun and inspiring environment,” White-Gluz said. “It feels great to showcase all the colours of my voice in technically challenging, deeply energizing, highly addictive songs. Creating and performing with musicians who deeply care about the music and concerts as much as I do is so refreshing. Plus, with Blue Medusa going full throttle and gaining so much momentum in parallel, I feel like I am permanently in the creative zone, which is exactly where I want to be! I am so thankful for the amazing support I have been lucky enough to receive from the metal world; I want to keep pushing my boundaries and delivering exceptional music and live experiences to the fans that we cherish so much.”
