Here’s your chance…. we want your help with this! What bands would you like to see NeO on tour with? Big, medium, small —- all ideas are welcome!

I’m literally in the middle of organising meetings with many different managers of fellow bands to discuss tour ideas and see what other artists are planning in 2027/28. In these meetings we discuss what bands might fit together & whose schedule lines up with NeO’s plans so we can create some special tour experiences for you guys. It would be great to hear your ideas so I can explore each of them and we can see what we can make happen!

Make your voice heard in the comments below!

Tova

Rivers of Nihil! Their latest album was awsome

Bug

DiAmorte Opeth (which we’ve spoken about and is unlikely, unfortunately) Dark Tranquillity Fleshgod Apocalypse (again!) Insomnium (oh hey, your shirt!) Cellar Darling Jinjer

Tony Bazil

Black Crown Initiate, Insomnium, Be'Lakor, Anciients, Blackbraid, Fires in the Distance. A pipe dream would be Dream Theater - imagine that crowd would appreciate the proggy stuff, and would love to see the faces of the old-timers when Mr Dorton unleashes one of his primal screams for the first time. Cheers from Chicago!

furiousjazzhands

Between the Buried and Me, Opeth, Gojira, Meshuggah, The Ocean, First Fragment... I'm in Maryland in the USA.

Cormac Jordan

An Abstract Illusion 👀 (not sucking up, genuinely love them)

Arian

Wintersun, Solstafir, Bloody Falls, Dissona

Adam Wood

Knocked Loose! Bit of an odd one but if Metallica and Gojira can do it with them then I bet you can too!

Alicia

Fleshgod Apocalypse, Shadow of Intent ( Netherlands)

lMarcusl

Imminence, Sylvaine, Cenobia, Oceans of Slumber and I'd say Kardashev if Kardashev toured.

Lauren

Alcest, Fallujah, MØL, Karmanjakah would all be super cool to see (USA)

Rudy Villarreal

The Ocean, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Gojira, Periphery again but don't leave out Edmonton again 🥲, Unprocessed, all phenomenal bands I'd love to see live for the first time

Alex

An Abstract Illusion, Cynic, The Contortionist (If they decide to tour again), Between the Buried and Me, Death To All, Haken, Tesseract!

Kevin Sheehan

Okay, here we go. I’m in Florida, US. The Ocean would be amazing- plus they have a new album they just announced that may cause them a new tour plan. Then we have Caligulas Horse, always welcome in the states. Between the Buried & Me is always a favorite of mine that I would love to see a dual headline. Callous Daoboys are a great touring band- they bring heat and a young crowd to shows, you’d likely get new fans there.

Kevin Sheehan

Then of course, Leprous would be an amazing co-headliner. Contortionist should also be announcing an album soon and would bring a diverse crowd.

LadyGooblymeat

As so many say, An Abstract Illusion. And if you're in our neck of the woods, Norway, Terravia would be amazing. They would have the same issue you had when you supported CoF: 30 minute timeslot would be 2-3 songs max :P But they are so worth it (they supported Abstract on the Norway dates earlier this month). Monosphere as well would be a nice evening.

Joe Farrell

I think I might die of happiness if I ever got to see NeO and Caligula's Horse on the same day. 😁

Mat Moura

be'lakor, black crown initiate (tho would be lotta work for james 😆), fallujah, persefone, beyond creation nomading atm so could catch concerts anywhere in the world if I know in advance

Jan Špale

Persefone, Be'Lakor, Beyond Creation, Caligula's Horse, Between the Buried and Me... any of these! :-)

Joe Farrell

I'm in the US so I'll restrict myself to US and Canadian bands here: Miserere Luminis, Anciients, The Zenith Passage, Tómarúm, Blood Incantation, Deafheaven, Dessiderium... too many to list, really!

Michael Berg

Bent Knee Holy Fawn Kristin Hayter maudlin of the Well Sleepytime Gorilla Museum

Judith

You should check out Walg with their single 'Nevel'. They'd be a great support act in The Netherlands! Other names: Zeal & Ardor Regarde les Hommes Tomber Der Weg Einer Freiheit Emperor Primordial Gaerea A Somber Funeral Winterfylleth Igorrr Gojira Fit for an Autopsy Anaal Nathrakh Benighted Opeth The Black Dahlia Murder Amenra Akhlys Thy Art is Murder Meshuggah Freedom of Fear Devin Townsend ...

Nate LeGallo

Shadow of Intent, Meer, Orgone, Caligula's Horse, tesseract!!!

Alexandre Paradis

From Montreal: Dream Theatre would be incredible! Otherwise: Tesseract, Periphery, Persephone, Fallujah, Opeth.

Luigi

id really say with galneryus

ayla

When you come back to Sacramento, Holy Fawn!! Also: Bleak Machine! They're a newer band but they're super talented and they would love to be a first opener for you guys in Sacto / northern California. Vocalist Julia is super talented, and their band gives Jinjer vibes. Check out their song Relentless it is SO GOOD and they do it great live!

Benjamin Le

Heilung, Wintersun, Angine de Poitrine <3

Jasmin Giguere-Noel

Co-headline with Be'lakor and bring Antiqva as an opener! Xen could swoop in and make a duet with James!! Would be an awesome torch passing!!!

Hunter Koch

The Ocean, Fallujah, Opeth, and Tool!

Darrell

First of all, thank you for even taking this kind of feedback! That is super cool of y'all to do! I'm in Alabama, but traveling to Nashville or Atlanta is easy for me to do. Secondly, I love how in sync this fandom is when it comes to music. So far every reply here has a band that I'm into! As for my dream wishlist: Persefone Illyria (au) Mandroid Echostar (if they ever become active again) Oceans of Slumber Rivers of Nihil Between the Buried and Me Coheed and Cambria I Built the Sky Animals as Leaders Thank You Scientist LABYRINTH (From Frontiers music) Killswitch Engage All That Remains Scar Symmetry Insomnium Dreamwake Opal In Sky

mellowmallowmelly

Here are some ideas! Apocalypse Orchestra Wintersun Aether Realm Allegaeon Angra Blind Guardian Lacuna Coil Obscura Orden Ogan Persefone

Dillon O'Brien

Opeth or btbam would be a dream come true! Imperial triumphant, the contortionist, wilderun, rivers of nihil, beyond creation, alcest, blood incantation, empyrium, thank you scientist, ulcerate, white ward, and zeal and ardor would all also be fantastic.

Jeanette King

Would love to see NeO back home in Australia on the next tour. Valhalore would be a great local band to see with NeO. But also Imminence and Apocalyptica

Matt Mossman

Yo! What a cool idea, thanks for doing this. I was heartbroken when Persefone had to back out of their US tour in 2023. NeO and them, my two favs! So def would love to see you guys with them in Portland, Oregon! 🤘

Eddie

Seven Spires would be great to see! Wisconsin in the USA

Azathoth

Kardashev!!!! Or maybe Oak Pantheon

Bug

If you haven’t listened to DiAmorte yet, you should! …then go see them the next time that they play, whenever that might be. The last show before a recent one was 4+ years ago, I think.

Alex Schroeder

All-time, I've always wanted to see you with Caligula's Horse here in North America. More recently, I think An Abstract Illusion would be a fantastic match for y'all

Valerie Syren

For US bands, I would say Wilderun and Aether Realm. Wilderun is quite proggy and theatrical, and they seem to resonate with a lot of Ne Obliviscaris fans. Aether Realm is just fun. I saw them in their hometown of Asheville and they put on one hell of a show! I would also love it if you guys toured with The Omnific again. That 2023 North American tour was amazing! Thanks!!

TheStalk

My top two picks would be the following: 1) Sanguine Glacialis (from Montreal, as an opener) - excellent prog death band with avant-garde leanings. Their singer/keyboardist Maude also plays violin and is a fan, so not only would I get to see two of my favorite bands but I'm sure she'd be stoked to hop on stage with you guys for a handful of songs where there are multiple string parts happening simultaneously. Could be an awesome opportunity to put Eyrie in the setlist (just in time for Urn's 10th anniversary) and deliver an experience that fans outside of Australia haven't had before. Caligula's Horse (co-headline) - Can't resist the temptation to pitch my 2 favorite bands touring together - I think this package would be amazing musically, and I'm sure the vibes would be immaculate with two Aussie titans sharing the stage every night! EDIT: Forgot to mention I'm from Montreal, Sanguine Glacialis is local to me. While I'm already adding stuff though, I'll second Fallujah, Orgone, Wilderun and First Fragment as some of my favorite shouts I've seen in other comments.

Jeff Ebers

Dessiderium please!!!! Has Alex ever toured? I'm not sure

Jake Heeter

Septicflesh Carach Angren Igorrr White Ward Agalloch

Simon D

For an Australian tour, Be'Lakor and NeO would be a dream lineup. Wheel and Ihlo would be awesome too

jr.novantasette

For bands in your realm of uniquity, Septicflesh, Periphery or Imperial Triumphant here in Aus would be sick.

Sarah Brown

Such a cool thing to ask our feedback. I'm fom Toronto area. My top picks are Iotunn or An Abstract Illusion. I saw someone else say Cellar Darling, I would love that too 😍

Joe Farrell

@Jeff Dessiderium was actually on tour with Tómarúm late last year, and I'm still kicking myself for missing that. :D

Mike Maxwell

I would enjoy to see you tour with Archspire and Fleshgod Apocalypse. I am in Medicine Hat Alberta Canada.

Mike Maxwell

Oh almost forgot Orbit Culture

Sly Escapist

Ihlo, Iotunn, Der Weg Einer Freihet, Karnivool, Blackbraid, Winterfylleth, Teramaze. And come back to Paris, France, as soon as you can!

Tom Gillis

Seriously, you guys with Old Man's Child and Nanowar Of Steel. I know this is a crazy lineup, but it has a lot of variety, each band sounds different and I love them all. This lineup would bring a lot of different people to shows and I would be excited for each band. And bring this tour to the U.S., and don't skip Michigan this time.

Shawn Cooper

Spiine, Virgin Black, Avatar (selfishly lol), Rivers of Nihil (again!), Antiqva, Starkill (again!)

Kevin Sheehan

Alex is also playing Progstorm this year. I’ll be flying to Montreal to see that show.

Jeff Ebers

@Kevin Sheehan Damn progstorm looks like a blast!

Jeff Ebers

Dessiderium, Dyssidia, An Abstract Illusion, Haken, Thank You Scientist, Leprous, The Faceless (I wish), Pain of Salvation, Native Construct (get them back together please :') )

Jeff Ebers

And Imperial Triumphant!

Joe Farrell

Yeah, that might be worth getting on a plane for, if I can do it without my wife murdering me. Thanks for the info, Kevin!

Joel Cabezas Morales

Stylistically speaking y'all would go fucking ham with Meshuggah, Opeth, and Tomarum on the same ticket! However if you want to give me a heart attack in the best way possible (mosh pit vibes), you need to bring BtBaM and... well you're already going on tour with Periphery but yeah lol

Christoph Klein

Well, so many great possibilities. Some we discussed already... My Aussie dream combination would be you and Caligula's Horse! From Germany Disillusion could be a good fit! Internationally, I'd love to see you together with BtBaM, Rivers of Nihil, Tesseract, Gojira, Meshuggah. Dream Theater of course would be great, but an interesting experiment to see how their large crowds would react to NeO... :-)

Kevin Sheehan

A few more echos of people here Big Bands I’d like to see you Support: Gojira, Devin Townsend, meshuggah, Dethklok Smaller bands to bring as support: ihlo, Anciients, Dvne, Monosphere, karmanjakah, zenith passage Bands in similar arenas with different fans bases: Protest the Hero, Tesseract, Dillenger Escape Plan (I have hope for a tour after recent festival appearances)

Sean Flaherty

Lots of awesome suggestions, and I've definitely got some new bands to check out. For me personally the only band you could tour with that would top this upcoming one with Periphery would have to be Be'lakor though, even if I have to fly out to Australia just for that! Other bands I've seen listed that I think would be incredible- BtBaM, Insomnium, Fallujah, Soilwork, and Cenobia. A few more that I haven't seen posted- In Mourning, In Vain and Deadlock. As a bonus, if you like the Periphery guys, you could see if Spencer and Matt are going to tour for King Mothership when their new album drops. It's a bit of a different style, but it would be a very fun concert.

Christopher McCuller

I would pay ridiculous ticket prices to see NeO with The Ocean! Add BTBAM and Opeth and that’s almost my perfect show

Christopher McCuller

I’ll add my voice to several that have been mentioned already: The Ocean, Zeal & Ardor, Persefone, Fleshgod (again), Rivers of Nihil (again), BTBAM, Igorr, Blood Incantation

Seren Soydemir

Blackbraid, In Vain, Wintersun, Be'Lakor, Behemoth, Gojira, Blind Guardian in Turkiye pls 🖤

Yasith

All I want is NeO and Be’Lakor in Melbourne! It’s my dream Duo Concert! To see my top 2 bands play live one after another. Add Opeth to the list, then even better 😀😌🤘

Derlino

Leprous would be cool! I'm in Tromsø, Norway

Kyano Dordregter

Aether realm would be so lovely, my two favorite bands on the same tour fr

Kyano Dordregter

I would love to see Opeth, Gojira, meshuggah and the Ocean as well. Unfortunately I am in europe

Kyano Dordregter

I would love to see Opeth, Gojira, Mastodon, Periphery, Blood incantation, An abstract illusion, Baroness, and especially Aether realm. I am from the Netherlands.

Eva

A lot of folks left good ideas already, and I‘d like to add a few Bands I would like to see you touring with. Ihsahn, /Emperor, In Mourning, In Vain, Insomnium, Amorphis, Heaven Shall Burn, Rotting Christ, Heretoir, Saor, Kaunis Kuolematon Opeth would be awesome 🤩 I‘d love you to bring Ironstone to Europe, I think that would be great just like Freedom of Fear last time.

Alkaath

NeO + Pain of Salvation would be so good, plus Pain of Salvation is also writing / recording atm afaik so there's that

Josh Baxter

Leprous if they do Tall Poppy Syndrome would be great or Aether Realm, Aussie here.

Inez

So many that would match you Guys!! Persephone, Insomnium, Countless Skies, Fires in the Distance, Katatonia, Opeth, Be’Lakor!!! For sure. All of them please. And Zeal and Ardor. Let’s make a festival with this line up and NeO as a headliner 🥳

Arthusamakh

Gojira, Meshuggah, Blood incantation, Opeth

Mikko Uosukainen

From Finland... Halysis Wintersun Brymir Torchia

Jon Whitehead

In Australia, Der Weg Einer Freihet , CELESTE, Blackbraid or …. Get Blud Aus Nord out the studio!!

mousesizeddragon

Havent seen In Mourning mentioned here yet :D

Lee Price

Melbourne (well Geelong) - An Abstract Illusion. The Woe album in particular is perfection...

Graham

Caligua's Horse and Haken would be awesome to see! Preferably with an Irish date if possible :P

Wakkolotty

Be'lakor, although I know they basically don't tour. Other than that, anything progmetal would fit for me.

Yan Thériault

Be'lakor, Swallow the Sun, In Flames, Insomnium for sure. Maybe Lorna Shore would make a good contrast with you guys so it would be nice to see. In Montreal, Canada

Thomas Wyckoff

These may be some long shots, but hear me out. I think a NeO + Eluveitie show would be killer. There's also a band from Minneapolis called Obsequiae. Renaissance black metal is the best I can describe it. Song structure takes a lot from early European music, lots of counterpoint in the lead guitars. The most lush, dreamy, reverb drench harp interludes I've heard. A very unique sound that no one really has done before to my knowledge. (Highly recommend to check out the album Aria of Vernal Tombs, ifnothing else!) So yeah, NeO+ELuveitie+Obsequiae would be a dream show I would LOVE to see. And then some other big names that I'll parrot here as well: Omnium Gatherum and/or Insomnium Septicflesh Rivers Of Nihil (I live in Iowa in the US, so maybe make a stop in Des Moines or Minneapolis on this tour-in-the-making?? :-D )

Syris

Be'lakor, Deafheaven, Blood Incantation, Gojira, Jinjer, Allegaeon, Opeth

The Art of Crime

Leprous, Karnivool, Cynic, The Ocean, Vildhjarta.

Nathan H

With The Ocean's new lineup and them starting to tour again, I'd would 1000% approve of NeO and them!

Thermington

Imminence would be awesome

Eva

I mentioned then ☺️

Frederik Franko

I will probably repeat what others have said, but: - Be'lakor - Insomnium - An Abstract Illusion - Gaerea - Kardashev - Ultar/Grima - Blackbraid - Alcest - Mare Cognitum - Acathexis - Dark Tranquility - Harakiri for the Sky - Jinjer - Infected Rain - Saor - Véhémence - White Ward - Cult of Luna - Agalloch - Shadow of Intent - Lorna Shore - In Vain - First Fragment - Sleep Token - Mors Principium Est - Skyforest - Iapetus - Altars of Grief - In Mourning - Naeramarth As for regions - Central Europe; ideally Slovakia / Czechia, but I can manage Poland and Hungary as well :)

Jake Heeter

I agree with having a Des Moines tour date, fellow Iowan 🤩

Thomas Wyckoff

Yes!!!! Iowan metalheads unite!!! Let’s push for a Des Moines show!!!

Valerie Syren

Oooh yes, In Mourning! Thanks for reminding me!

John McVey

A lot of good bands have already been mentioned, so here's some more that haven't: Enshine Fractal Gates AtomA All That Remains Saturnus Alien Weaponry

mousesizeddragon

Oh, looks like I need to clean my glasses, hehe :D

MPEQ

Wilderun, Between the Buried and Me, wintersun, caligula's horse, an abstract illusion, persefone

Ne Obliviscaris

So many great suggestions here! Thanks so much everyone! Keep them coming - Tim

Martin Graff

Terravia from Norway - great prog band. Real cool and talented guys. Warmed up for An Abstract Illusion. Kardashev - No explanation needed, the vocalist alone is reason enough. Fractal Universe - I think they are French so Benji could go "boujour, oui-oui tres bien" or something. Aspherium - Again a Norwegian metal band, but these guys are also great. Their song Reality Unfolds competed with your Painters of the Tempest as my most played song on spotify.

Aaron Oliver

Between the buried and me Dragonland Aether realm First fragment An abstract illusion

Nikita

An abstract illusion, one of nine, the ocean, caligula's horse, haken

Totti Pynnönen

Iotunn and An Abstract Illusion! In northern europe

Sylvain Meunier

One of my favourite up there with you guys: Insomnium

tomspicy

very very small band from the states, 'subterrenean lava dragon'. they only have one album but its insane. also vektor would be super cool

Joel Cabezas Morales

Ideal tour line-up that has NeO? I'd include the following: Opeth (duh) Tómarúm (newer-ish band, excellent death metal vibes) Jack the Joker (to keep it interesting) Earthside Imperial Triumphant And a toss up of including Meshuggah or BtBaM for me as they're my top 5 live acts. I said what I said.

Wiktoria Janas

Dymna Lotva White Ward (if finally ruSSia loses, martial law ends and they are allowed to leave Ukraine and go on tour) Be'lakor Fleshgod Apocalypse
