Norway’s sludge-fueled heavy groove titans Slomosa are storming North America in Spring 2026 for the first time as headliners.
The Breaking Ice Tour hits 28 dates across North Ameica, kicking off March 26 at The Bowery Ballroom in New York City and wrapping May 1 at The Grog Shop in Cleveland, OH. Tickets go on sale this Friday, December 12, at 10 am local time. Full dates below.
Carved from a foundation of groove-rich heft, melodic bite, and frostbitten desert attitude, Slomosa’s sound channels the legendary Palm Desert scene through the raw intensity of Nordic rock. Since dropping their self-titled 2020 debut, the band has bulldozed through 350+ shows in 20+ countries, sharing stages with High on Fire, Mastodon, Alkaline Trio, Helmet, Elder, and more, earning a reputation as one of the most commanding live acts in heavy music.
In April, Slomosa won the Spellemann Award for Rock Album of the Year with their critically acclaimed sophomore release, “Tundra Rock” (September 2024). The album vaulted them into the global spotlight, solidifying their place as the new vanguard of Nordic heaviness. This summer, the band dropped a blistering 14-track live concert film, captured at the iconic USF Verftet in their hometown of Bergen, a high-decibel testament to their atmospheric, distortion-soaked live presence.
Their rise has earned the attention of bona fide rock royalty: Adam Jones (Tool) has publicly championed the band. At the same time, Brant Bjork and Nick Oliveri of Kyuss fame have both declared themselves fans of Slomosa’s crushing sonic force.
