Gothic metal rising stars on a massive tour

Castle Rat

Castle Rat is carving their name into the heavy music landscape with a relentless run of high-profile shows alongside some of metal's most iconic acts. The Brooklyn-based gothic doom outfit brings their hauntingly theatrical sound and dark, captivating stage presence to venues and festivals across the country, delivering an experience that blends brooding atmosphere with crushing riffs and unforgettable hooks. The tour includes a landmark appearance at Welcome To Rockville on May 7, 2026, at the legendary Daytona International Speedway — one of rock's premier festival stages — sharing the bill with Guns N' Roses, Five Finger Death Punch, and Godsmack. From there, Castle Rat joins Dethklok and Amon Amarth on a run of headline-level dates at storied venues including the Coca-Cola Roxy, Fox Theatre in Detroit, and The Pinnacle at Nashville Yards, showcasing their ability to hold their own alongside metal royalty. Whether you're a longtime devotee or discovering Castle Rat for the first time, these shows promise an immersive sonic journey through shadow and thunder. With each performance, the band cements their reputation as one of the most exciting emerging voices in heavy music — a must-see act before they inevitably graduate to headlining stages of their own.
