Emperor, the Norwegian black metal band formed in 1991, is coming to New York this spring. The group consists of guitarist and vocalist Ihsahn and guitarist Samoth. The group split up in 2001, but reunited from 2005 to 2007 for a few festival dates and brief US tours, and again reunited in 2013 to 2014. Emperor reformed for the third time in 2016. The group just announced a Spring 2025 U.S tour, where they will be supported by Wolves in the Throne Room, Agalloch, and Wayfarer. The seven-date tour will begin in Worcester Massachusetts at the Palladium on May 9th, 2025. According to Consequence, the tour’s artwork features Emperor’s influential 1994 album, In the Nightside Eclipse. Back in 2023, the group embarked on their first U.S tour, in 15 years. Their most recent studio album dates all the way back to 2001. Although, despite not making new music, they still manage to perform their classics and create commotion for their fan-base. A Live Nation presale for the tour took place on Thursday, December 5th. The New York show will take place on May 10th, at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn. Tickets to the Saturday night show are still on sale, and selling for $160 USD. for a mezzanine ticket.
