Fresh from a breakthrough start to 2026, Mongolian folk metal collective Uuhai announce their full European headline tour, taking place in Spring 2027 in support of their debut album, “Human Herds”.
Following their highly acclaimed appearances on the “Motocultor Across Europe Tour” in early 2026 with Napalm Records label mates Nanowar Of Steel, a run that quickly established the band as one of the standout revelations of the year, Uuhai return to Europe with an expanded live production and a new set built around the material from their first full-length release.
Blending traditional Mongolian instruments, throat singing and contemporary metal influences, Uuhai have developed a distinctive sound and a powerful live reputation that has resonated far beyond the folk metal scene. Their upcoming headline tour, “Human Herds – European Tour 2027 – Part 1”, will see the band perform across the Netherlands, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal and Switzerland.
The tour will also feature a diverse supporting line-up with Acyl, known for their fusion of metal and North African influences, alongside rising act Blossom Cult, further expanding the tour’s cross-cultural and contemporary heavy music identity. Find the full list of dates below!

Amplifying the blending of throat singing and horsehead fiddles with heavy music, breakthrough rockers Uuhai bestow a captivating sound upon the Mongolian steppe with “Human Herds”, out on January 9, 2026 via Napalm Records. After their first songs gained them millions of video views, the seven-piece band unleashes a debut album that draws from the imposing history and awe-inspiring nature of Mongolia alike. On “Human Herds”, Uuhai reflect on both their roots and modern society, delivering a powerful plea to everyone, everywhere, wrapped up in a heartfelt love letter to their homeland—all in Mongolian language.
“Human Herds” impresses with far more than just a language and instruments unfamiliar to most ears. It is a reverent invitation into the heart of Mongolia that you won’t get anywhere else, buoyant and powerful in both storytelling and musical delivery. With deep gratitude and respect, Uuhai creates an emotional ode to nature and delivers a grassroots message to society: this debut album is a powerful reminder that on this earth, we are all the same.
Uuhai about “Human Herds”:
“‘Human Herds’ is a reflection on the unstoppable tide of humanity—our migrations, our revolts, our worship, and our wounds upon the Earth. Yet in our chaos, we must remember: we all live under one sun and one moon on Earth, sharing the same fragile home”.
