Editorial Dept.
Castle Rat are heading back to London next year for their biggest headline show in the city so far. The Brooklyn metal band will take over the Electric Ballroom in Camden on May 27, 2027. The announcement comes while the group is in the middle of their Summon The Beasts Tour across North America.
In a press release, Castle Rat’s team announced that tickets for the Electric Ballroom show will go on sale October 2 at 10 a.m. BST. The new London date comes as the band continues their current North American headline run, which wraps up October 21 at Webster Hall in New York.
For fans who crave swords & sorcery; stoner & doom; battle-babes & beasts, Castle Rat have embarked on their biggest headline tour to date: the Summon The Beasts Tour 2026! The tour began last Wednesday and includes sold-out shows at The Belasco in Los Angeles (Oct 1) and The Opera House in Toronto (Oct 17), and will conclude with a finale at Webster Hall in New York City (Oct 21).

Castle Rat released their debut album Into The Realm with King Volume Records in April 2024, which has since racked up 10 million Spotify streams and held the #1 Best-Selling Hard Rock/Alt Rock Album on Bandcamp upon release. Their second full-length album, The Bestiary, was produced by Randall Dunn (Sunn O))), Wolves in the Throne Room, Björk) and released in late 2025 to mass critical acclaim, launching the band into unprecedented realms of heavy music.
Following two sold-out tours in late 2024, the band undertook a headlining US tour in March 2025, with a six-week stint in Europe featuring numerous festival appearances – including Desertfest, Hellfest, and Copenhell. The current North American tour follows their tremendous run with Amon Amarth and Dethklok.
