Paleface Swiss announce headline show at the Academy in Dublin

The metal outfit Paleface Swiss have announced a headline show at The Academy in Dublin on January 12, 2026.

The Zurich-based band will be joined by Static Dress and Stick To Your Guns for the 29-date run across Europe. The Dublin date will be the band's first stop on the tour.

The announcement marks a long-awaited milestone for the 4-piece act, who broke through in 2020 with their acclaimed album Chapter 3: The Last Selection.

Since then, Paleface Swiss have built a reputation for their energetic live shows and have previously toured the US extensively, supporting acts such as The Ghost Inside and Lionheart.

Their third and latest album Cursed was released in January this year through Blood Blast Distribution.

Led by frontman Marc "Zelli" Zelleger, the group formed in 2017 and have since become a notable force in the nu-metal and deathcore scenes. Despite several major international support slots, this tour will be their first headlining run across Europe.

Speaking about the announcement, Zelli said: "We have waited so long to do our first proper EU headline tour... I am so happy and excited that we can finally do this. I'd love to be sitting on the tour bus tomorrow. But like cheese, it needs to mature well hahaha!"

Tickets for the show in the Academy start from €37 and go on sale Monday, June 30 at 10am.
