Danish metal band Mercyful Fate will embark on their first North American tour in over 20 years.

Announced today, the tour will kick off on October 25 inside The Factory in Dallas, and it’ll conclude with a performance at Atlanta’s Tabernacle on November 16. Kreator and Midnight will be the opening acts. Tour dates can be seen below.

Vocalist King Diamond said this about the forthcoming fall tour:

“These will be the first MERCYFUL FATE concerts in North American theaters in over twenty years. Memories of a lifetime. Your special chance to see MERCYFUL FATE with the full European festival production, but up close and personal. You cannot miss this… I hereby respectfully invite you to Come To The Sabbath by which you may free your soul and feast with us in the dark Of Night. Witches and Demons, you may come as you are! Satanic Regards - King Diamond 666.”

Tickets will go on sale to the general public this Friday (September 9) at 10 a.m. local time. Various pre-sales will go live prior to Friday. Pre-sale tickets will end this Thursday (September 8) at 10:00 p.m. local time.
