Fall 2026 trek celebrates landmark album as Alissa White-Gluz officially joins band for first full North American run
‘DragonForce‘ have announced the “Inhuman Rampage” 20th Anniversary North American Tour, a 22-city trek celebrating two decades of the band’s classic album that introduced the platinum-selling hit “Through the Fire and Flames.” The tour will run from November 13 in San Diego, California to December 13 in Los Angeles, California, with support from ‘Ensiferum‘ and ‘Rhapsody of Fire‘.
The trek arrives hot off the heels of the addition of Alissa White-Gluz as the band’s new vocalist, sharing the mic with longtime singer Marc Hudson in the now six-piece lineup. White-Gluz only recently made her live debut with ‘DragonForce’ at Welcome To Rockville and Sonic Temple, giving fans an early glimpse of the new era. The band has promised classic material alongside previews of their next studio album throughout the tour.
Co-founder and lead guitarist Herman Li commented on the new chapter:
“Alissa joining the band is an expansion of everything we’ve done up to this point. 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.”
White-Gluz expressed her enthusiasm for joining the band:
“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. 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.”
The “Inhuman Rampage” 20th Anniversary Tour represents a significant milestone for ‘DragonForce’, marking two decades since the 2006 album that birthed the platinum-selling global phenomenon “Through the Fire and Flames,” which spent 23 consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200 and introduced the band to tens of millions of new fans through its inclusion as the notoriously unbeatable final boss of “Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.”
