Cradle of Filth announce UK and Irish tour this autumn

Less than two months after the conclusion of their Necromantic Fantasies Tour, British goth-metal band Cradle of Filth have announced their next live stint across the UK and Ireland, this time fittingly timed around Halloween.

The By Order Of The Dragon Tour will kick off in Britain on October 27 before making its way to the Limelight in Belfast on November 5 and The Academy in Dublin on November 6. After 11 electrifying shows across the UK and Ireland, the Suffolk six-piece will head to Germany for the start of a 15-date European run.

The band will be supported by American metalcore band Butcher Babies alongside up-and-comers High Parasite.

With a long-awaited Ed Sheeran collaboration in the works since 2021, an unlikely partnership that supposedly sprang from the pop star’s early affinity for metal, Cradle of Filth finally updated fans on the track’s progress earlier this year.

“One of the surprises, obviously, but it’s not so much a surprise is that we’ve got a song that we have Ed Sheeran guesting on,” said frontman Dani Filth on Polish YouTube channel Pelna Kulturka. “It’s gonna be on the album.”

Tickets for Cradle of Filth’s By Order Of The Dragon Tour will be on sale from May 2 at 10am via cradleoffilth.com.
