Mimi Barks has today announced a UK headline tour for Spring 2026. The alternative trailblazer begins the tour in Swansea on March 31st, performing in Plymouth, Milton Keynes, Nottingham, Newcastle, Glasgow, Sheffield and Manchester before finishing in London on April 9th.
Support comes from trap metal band SWARM6IX.
Speaking of the tour announcement Mimi Barks shares:
“I went silent because something was taken from me. My album, stolen by the person I created it with. But defeat isn’t the downfall it’s an obstacle and obstacles sharpen the mind. What was lost became fuel. Transform pain into creation, shape something from nothing. Expression is the purpose. I return with new music, a new EP in 2026 and a flood of new visuals forged from the aftermath. Not a replacement, but a rebirth. A new era begins now. Heavier. Clearer. Uncompromised. I’m looking forward to being back in the UK to celebrate new beginnings …”

Mimi Barks has built a sound that is entirely her own. Rooted in the collision of metal, industrial energy and trap, she shapes these influences into “DOOM TRAP”. Her music is emotional, heavy and unfiltered, turning discomfort into something powerful and strangely beautiful, with nothing in her catalogue polished for comfort.
Her story begins in Germany and takes shape in Berlin’s underground, where she explored the extremes of punk, hip hop, techno and metal. A move to London pushed her further, leading to releases that quickly gained attention across the UK and Europe and a rise that has seen her appear on major stages including Download Festival, Wacken Open Air, Bloodstock, Boomtown and 2000 Trees.
From her early releases to her full-length album This Is Doom Trap, Mimi has continued to refine her sound and dig deeper into its emotional weight. Her 2025 cover of Linkin Park’s Crawling carried that same spirit, reshaping a generational anthem into something haunting and unmistakably her own.
Known for live performances that feel like emotional exorcisms, Mimi Barks never stands still. After a short break to regroup and rebuild, she is preparing the next chapter of her story. New music arrives in early 2026, marking a heavier, darker and more focused era than anything she has released before.
