Wardruna has revealed an exciting North American tour to support their recently released album, Birna, with dates slated for fall 2025. Known for their unique blend of ambient folk and Norse tradition, the band will perform in iconic venues like the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, Beacon Theatre in New York and Massey Hall in Toronto. Special guest Chelsea Wolfe will join the tour, adding an additional layer of atmospheric intensity to the performances, though she will not appear at the Los Angeles show.
The Birna album, which explores the complex relationship between man and the bear, was met with critical acclaim for its powerful, evocative sound and exploration of ancient themes. Following a series of mesmerizing global performances, including a historic show at the Pompeii Amphitheatre, the upcoming North American tour promises to deliver a similarly immersive experience for audiences.
Wardruna’s performances are celebrated for their integration of natural and historical landmarks, with previous shows held at venues such as the Odeon of Herodes Atticus in Athens and Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Their upcoming performances, including a debut in Spain and Portugal, continue this tradition, offering a powerful auditory and visual connection to history and nature.
