On April 11, 2027, the acclaimed Portuguese dark and gothic metal band Moonspell will take over Amager Bio in Copenhagen with their noted 'God Is a Vampire Tour'. The concert marks a milestone for Moonspell, as the tour celebrates the band's 35th anniversary and presents the latest album, 'Far From God', which was released on July 3, 2026 after five years of creative development.
Moonspell has long been known for their ability to create dramatic, atmospheric soundscapes where darkness and intensity meet melodic sensitivity. On the new album 'Far From God', the band continues this tradition and invites listeners into a suggestive goth metal universe dominated by themes of romance, inner conflict, and existential depths. With a unique combination of music, literature, history, and strong emotions, Moonspell has become one of Europe's most influential forces within their genre.
Atmosphere and Innovation in Focus
'God Is a Vampire Tour' is Moonspell's most ambitious headlining tour yet and is characterized by a newly designed stage, advanced lighting, modern soundscape, and dynamic video production. The band aims to bring the feeling of 'Far From God' to life and give the audience an immersive and powerful experience of the new material, while also honoring their long legacy. Moonspell themselves describe the energy on the tour as a collective discharge of dark, melodic, and light-seeking power, where every show becomes a memorable event for both loyal and new fans.
Supporting acts for the evening are two acclaimed bands: Iotunn from Denmark and the Faroe Islands, as special guests, and Spanish TodoMal as support. Together, they create an international and diverse lineup where Northern and Southern European metal traditions meet, enhancing the concert experience for attendees.
Since their formation in 1992, Moonspell has repeatedly pushed the boundaries of their expression. Groundbreaking albums such as 'Wolfheart' (1995), 'Irreligious' (1996) – known for the song "Opium" – and '1755' have brought the band global recognition and made them one of Europe's strongest metal exports. The current lineup consists of Fernando Ribeiro (vocals), Pedro Paixão (keyboard), Ricardo Amorim (guitar), Aires Pereira (bass), and Hugo Ribeiro (drums).
With over three decades of artistic development, Moonspell continues to find new ways to engage audiences and maintain their relevance. The tour underlines both their respect for their own legacy and their willingness to constantly evolve, making the 35th anniversary a must for all fans of goth and dark metal.
The April 2027 concert at Amager Bio looks set to be one of the highlights of Moonspell's career – a tribute to the band's history and an opening toward a bold future. With international guests and advanced production, one of the year's most memorable metal experiences in Copenhagen awaits.
