Sleep Token has now announced the dates and cities for their upcoming “Rainbow Tour 2026,” a move that has energized the alt-metal and experimental music communities. Fans have been promised an experience “unlike anything ever seen on stage” by the enigmatic masked ensemble, which is renowned for fusing beautiful melodies with shattering heaviness and emotional intensity.
NME’s exclusive report claims that Sleep Token’s most ambitious globe tour to date, the “Rainbow Tour 2026,” will travel throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The band’s spiritual home, London, is the starting point of the journey, which then travels to New York, Berlin, Tokyo, Sydney, Los Angeles, and SΓ£o Paulo. Exquisite stage designs influenced by light, emotion, and the band’s recurring themes of devotion, metamorphosis, and the unknown will be featured at each stop.
The members of Sleep Token, who are commanded by the mysterious character known only as Vessel, have always kept their names a secret, but their live performances have become legendary due to their almost spiritual intensity. With a multimodal performance that combines holographic images, staged lighting, and engrossing soundscapes that reflect the emotional spectrum of their music, the “Rainbow Tour” aims to enhance that experience even further.
Vessel explained the idea behind the tour in an official statement that was provided to NME, calling it “a journey through every hue of human emotion β from pain to peace, despair to devotion.” The rainbow is made up of contrast as well as light. That is the home of our music.
The set list is anticipated to include songs from their critically acclaimed albums “Take Me Back to Eden” and “This Place Will Become Your Tomb,” as well as brand-new, unheard songs that fans have long conjectured would usher in a new era of Sleep Token’s legend. The band’s next studio album, which will broaden the theme of worship and emotional surrender that characterizes their music, may be released in conjunction with the 2026 tour, according to sources close to the group.
Within hours of the news, hashtags like #SleepTokenRainbowTour and #Worship2026 trended worldwide as fans flocked to social media with excitement. As one fan wrote, “Sleep Token isn’t just a band β it’s an experience that changes you,” many have praised the tour as a turning point for alternative music.
Anticipation is building to a fever pitch as the countdown commences. The “Rainbow Tour 2026” is an immersive journey into the core of color, sound, and emotion rather than merely another concert series.
Sleep Token has consistently defied classification, but this time they’re reinventing worship through art as well as music.
