Tickets: https://linktr.ee/JinjerDuelTour2026
Following the massive news of JINJER’s upcoming European Duél Tour in early 2026, Ukraine’s modern metal juggernauts have revealed two very special guests joining them on this highly anticipated run. Progressive powerhouses Unprocessed and legendary Dutch innovators Textures will round out one of the most exciting lineups the genre has seen in years.
Armed with their most dynamic album to date, Duél, JINJER are set to return to European stages for the first time in over six years. Known for their fearless blend of technical groove, progressive elements, and raw emotion, the band has grown from Ukraine’s underground to global recognition, with over 250 million streams and views worldwide. After years of dominating festivals and tours alongside Slipknot, Sepultura, BABYMETAL, and soon Trivium, JINJER are ready to bring Duél to life in their most ambitious headline run yet.
Eugene Abdukhanov (JINJER) shared:
“We first shared a stage with Unprocessed back in 2017 and they immediately caught our attention. Not just for their musical talent or determination to carve their own path with unique music, but also for being genuinely great guys. Textures have been a huge source of inspiration for us since the very beginning of JINJER. I still remember those early tours, 13 or 14 years ago, driving our little van with the Silhouettes record on repeat. They left a mark on me personally, on our band musically, and their reunion is a big win for the entire progressive metal scene. Having Unprocessed and Textures with us on this tour is incredibly special, and I cannot wait to share the stage with them every night.”
Unprocessed have firmly established themselves as one of progressive metal’s most forward-thinking forces, thanks to records like Artificial Void and Gold and their genre-defying 2020 Polyphia collaboration Real. Their latest single “Solara” features Zelli of Paleface Swiss.
Textures remain one of Europe’s most influential progressive metal bands. From their groundbreaking debut Polars to classics like Silhouettes and Phenotype, they helped shape modern prog and mathcore. Now the Dutch innovators are back with their 2025 comeback single “Closer to the Unknown”.
With this lineup, the 2026 European Duél Tour is shaping up to be one of the most exciting tours of the year. Tickets are on sale now and moving fast. Do not miss your chance to witness JINJER at the height of their power alongside Unprocessed and Textures for an unforgettable night of progressive metal history in the making.

Unprocessed are firmly established as an innovative force in the modern and progressive metal realm, and are lauded for their unique approach that transcends genre barriers. Their latest album ‘...and everything in between’ is the most accomplished album Unprocessed have created. Beautifully melodic, intensely brutal, technically jaw-dropping and packed with hooks - it’s the album that firmly places them on the map as an act to watch.
The German quartet represents a new evolution of futuristic guitar driven metal.
“...and everything in between can quite literally be described as everything in between the extremes of life. Dealing with anger, sorrow, nostalgia, love and fear the album reflects on the different shades of a personality that everyone is made out of (e.g. there is evil in everyone). “
Here’s what the press are saying about Unprocessed’s latest album…
“ Unprocessed have created an album so forward-thinking that it’s a huge breath of fresh air in the world of metal” ⅘ - Kerrang!
“…And Everything In Between is rife with immense hooks, plus some tasteful cameos from fellow guitar gods Polyphia.” - Metal Hammer
“Heavy enough to make Meshuggah drop a bollock” - Guitar.com
“A standout album for fans of progressive and alternative metal.” - Knotfest
“Grit, determination and vitriol – a masterclass in how to evolve as a band” - Prog
“A masterclass of innovation that is guaranteed to delight” - Distorted Sound
“The ultimate guitar nerd’s wet dream” - Guitar World

When disbanding in 2018, Dutch math metal wizards Textures left a significant hole in the global progressive metal community. However, after a break of 6 years, the pioneering Dutch metal six-piece has resurrected and announced their reunion with a new album and a return to the stages in 2024.
Textures has made significant contributions to the music industry since their formation in 2001. One of the band's first achievements came in 2003 when they self-released their genre-defining debut album, "Polars." This full-length release quickly caught the attention of Listenable Records (Gojira, Soilwork), leading to its official re-release a year later.
With their do-it-yourself approach, Textures not only produced their albums themselves, always took care of their own artwork, but also built multiple studios over the years to keep track with the band's progress. In 2011, Textures got signed to the roster of Nuclear Blast and released their two latest albums "Dualism" and "Phenotype" through the leading metal label. Throughout their career, they have had the honor of sharing the stage with illustrious acts such as Meshuggah, Sepultura, Machine Head and The Dillinger Escape Plan and even saw bands like Gojira, Volbeat, Parkway Drive and Architects support them in their early years of their musical journey.
Additionally, they have toured alongside esteemed acts including Periphery, Amorphis, All That Remains and Arch Enemy, solidifying their influence on the modern metal scene. With their 3rd and 4th albums “Silhouettes” and “Dualism”, the combo's innovative and distinct sound came to the forefront when they were recognized as one of the first bands to develop the modern djent genre.
Their pioneering efforts have influenced other notable bands such as Periphery, Animals as Leaders and Tesseract, carving a path for a new wave of technical and heavy music.
Over the years, Textures has garnered a devoted international fanbase. Especially in India, the band quickly reached great popularity, headlined festivals and performed in front of thousands of music enthusiasts. Yet of course, they also left an impact on the European scene, where they played renowned festivals including Hellfest (France), Lowlands (Netherlands), Graspop (Belgium), Tuska Metal Fest (Finland), Brutal Assault (Czech Republic) and many more.
Their electrifying live shows quickly solidified their status as a must-see act at major metal festivals worldwide - and now, the band returns to claim their spot again.

Through their relentless hard work, non-stop touring and critically acclaimed, genre-breaking releases, gaining over 250 million streams and views across all platforms globally, JINJER have firmly established themselves as one of modern metal’s most vital and forward-thinking acts. The band has become synonymous with doing things their own way and rewriting the rules of heavy music, one crushing riff at a time.
In their 15 years as a band, the four-piece progressive groove metal wrecking machine known as JINJER have carved their very own place in the global metal landscape. Hailing from Donetsk and later planting roots in Kyiv, this Ukrainian musical anomaly formed in 2009, though they consider their true beginning to be in 2010 with the addition of the extraordinary vocalist and femme fatale, Tatiana Shmayluk. Countless hours in rehearsal rooms and sweat-soaked local gigs culminated in their now cult debut album, Inhale, Do Not Breathe, in 2012, earning them the title of Best Ukrainian Metal Band in 2013, a title they would win again in the years to follow.
While many bands from a region not traditionally known for heavy metal would have been satisfied with regional success, JINJER wanted more. Their tireless ambition led to the release of their second album, Cloud Factory, in 2014 and their first steps into the international touring circuit, booking shows themselves, connecting with fans face-to-face, and building a reputation brick by brick, on their own terms.
Their unstoppable work ethic and genre-defying sound caught the attention of Napalm Records, who signed the band and released their third album, King of Everything, in 2016. The breakout single "Pisces" not only showcased the band’s musical and emotional range but became a viral phenomenon with millions of views, streams, and countless YouTube reaction videos. The album opened doors to a global touring circuit and saw JINJER playing alongside Arch Enemy, Cradle Of Filth, and many more across territories as far-flung as the UAE, the UK, North and South America, the Philippines, and beyond.
Between tours, the band wrote and recorded the Micro EP, five explosive tracks born from road fatigue and a craving for something new. Released in early 2019 and coinciding with a tour alongside Soilwork and Amorphis, the EP spawned fan favorites like "Ape" and "Perennial," and continued to climb charts and playlists around the globe.
Later that same year, JINJER turned up the heat with Macro, a full-length album of unrelenting technical brilliance and raw emotional depth. The album yielded eight music videos, including "Judgement (& Punishment)," "Retrospection," and "Home Back," cementing the band’s status as one of metal’s most exciting forces.
2020 began with promise, including sold-out shows across Australia and Latin America, but the COVID-19 pandemic abruptly halted their tour in Mexico following their performance at Hell & Heaven Fest. Refusing to be silenced, JINJER became one of the first international acts to resume touring in Europe later that year. Their Alive in Melbourne live album and video, recorded just before lockdown, was released in November 2020 and served as a time capsule of pre-pandemic live energy.
In 2021, the band unleashed Wallflowers, their most calculated and emotionally resonant album to JINJER PRESS KIT 2025 date. With standouts like "Colossus," "Vortex," "Mediator," and "Disclosure!", Wallflowers was both a sonic evolution and a reflection of the personal and global adversity of the times. Critics and fans hailed the album as a defining moment not only for JINJER, but for modern metal itself.
Post-pandemic, JINJER resumed their rightful place on stages across Europe and North America, touring with Suicide Silence and P.O.D and performing at festivals around the world. But 2022 brought new and unexpected tragedy with Russia's invasion of Ukraine. After a four-month hiatus, the band returned with renewed purpose, joining Slipknot on tour and taking the stage as musical ambassadors of peace, raising funds and awareness for their war-torn homeland.
The band’s momentum carried into 2023, their most ambitious touring year yet. JINJER hit the road with Bullet For My Valentine in Europe, performed at massive festivals like Rock am Ring, Wacken Open Air, and Download UK, and embarked on a U.S. arena tour with Disturbed and Breaking Benjamin. Their North American headline tour with Monuments rounded out a truly triumphant year. To celebrate 15 years of music, JINJER released their first-ever official live album/DVD Live in Los Angeles on May 17, 2024, a thunderous love letter to their fans and their journey.
Now in 2025, JINJER have raised the stakes once again with their brand new album Duél (Napalm Records, February 7, 2025). The record is an artistic tour de force that explores themes of internal conflict, chaos, and rebirth. Featuring the critically acclaimed singles "Someone's Daughter" and "Fast Draw," Duél pushes the band’s signature sound even further into the realms of experimental groove metal and lyrical introspection. Additional standouts like "Green Serpent," and "Dark Bile" showcase Tatiana’s unmatched vocal versatility, while the band weaves polyrhythmic complexity into searing, soul-stirring melodies.
To promote the release, JINJER embarked on a 2024 North American headline tour, selling out clubs and theaters across the USA and Canada. Immediately afterward, they joined Sepultura on their historic European farewell run, "Celebrating Life Through Death," sharing stages with a band that helped pave the way for heavy music worldwide.
The band’s packed 2025 summer schedule includes key appearances at Europe’s biggest festivals, once again playing such reknowned festivals as Rock am Ring, Download Festival, Sweden Rock, Graspop and many more. In July, JINJER will return to North America as special guest for BABYMETAL on a multi-city arena tour, bringing their hybrid metal assault to a new generation of fans.
… And the best is still to come: JINJER will kick off 2026 with their long-awaited European headline tour, marking their first full headlining run on the continent since end of 2019. With Duél in hand and fire in their hearts, the next chapter in the band’s journey is already shaping up to be their most powerful yet.
… to be continued ….
