Canadian heavy music pioneers KITTIE have announced their return to the UK and Europe. Following an incredible 2025 that saw the band perform their first shows on this side of the world in over a decade, the heavy metal queens will be bringing their fierce brand of aggression to five lucky cities across the continent for some intense and explosive shows in August.
Since making their long-awaited return to the live circuit, the band have sharpened their teeth all over the world with earth-shattering headline shows and stunning performances at renowned festivals including Sick New World, Welcome To Rockville, Sonic Temple, Louder Than Life, Hellfest, Download Festival and many more. KITTIE have re-established themselves as one of metal's finest live acts, and they're set to reinforce that claim this year.
Speaking on the announcement, vocalist and guitarist Morgan Lander shares:
“Having the opportunity to come back to the UK and Europe for headline shows this August means everything to us. The connection we feel here is unmatched, and we’re so excited to return and step into the fire again!”
Tickets for the shows will go on general sale on Friday 6th February at 9am GMT / 10am CET. Find tickets for all dates here. The quartet will also be making their Bloodstock Festival debut this year, appearing on the Ronnie James Dio stage on the final day of the festival.

When you discovered Canadian heavy music pioneers KITTIE has a direct influence on how you see them. For those on board from the beginning with Spit in 2000, KITTIE was part of nu-metal's explosive rise. Through later albums including Oracle (2001), In The Black (2009), and I've Failed You (2011), the band evolved into something far more sinister, viewed as a serious metal outfit. After a prolonged hiatus broken only by a 2017 hometown show and 2018's documentary Kittie: Origins/Evolutions, the band returned in 2022 following festival offers including Sick New World.
12.6 million career streams later, vocalist/guitarist Morgan Lander, drummer/backing vocalist Mercedes Lander, guitarist Tara McLeod, and bassist Ivy Vujic maintain that KITTIE never broke up because it remains ingrained in their identity. Their 2024 album Fire, produced by Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Rush, Alice In Chains), marked their triumphant return with renewed fury and unfathomable sonic brutality. 2025 saw KITTIE pay homage to their past whilst also bringing it firmly into the present day. With their Spit XXV EP, the new era of KITTIE continues to blaze forth, illuminating the way as they take their rightful place as torchbearers for heavy music.
