Fresh off a spring tour opening for Amon Amarth and Dethklok, fantasy doom metal band Castle Rat will headline the Summon the Beasts fall 2026 U.S. tour, also featuring Unto Others and Wraith Knight.
The tour will be Castle Rat’s biggest headline run to date. Tickets go on sale Friday, June 5, at castlerat.com.
The band, led by the “Rat Queen” Riley Pinkerton (vocals/guitar), has gone viral largely due to its theatrical stage show, i which they defend the realm from the Rat Reaperess. Its second album, last year’s “The Bestiary” (King Volume Records), received widespread praise, including from Live Metal, which named it the best album of 2025.
