Suffocation 2025 European tour: Dates, venues, and all you need to know

This summer, New York death metal band Suffocation will head to Europe for a run of festival appearances and headline shows.

The tour is officially set to kick off on August 3, 2025, at Sylak Open Air in France and wrap up two weeks later on August 17, 2025, at Motocultor Festival, also in France. Fans across countries like Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Poland will get the chance to see the death metal act live.

Additionally, there is also a notable lineup of supporting acts, including Warbringer, Psycroptic, AngelMaker, To The Grave, and Skeletal Remains.

The announcement follows a relatively busy touring year for Suffocation. They are currently promoting their latest studio album Hymns from the Apocrypha, which was released in 2023.

Suffocation took to their official Instagram page to share the new trek dates, captioning:

"Europe, we have some crazy summer headline club shows coming up with line ups that you don’t want to miss! Which city will we see you at? 🤘🎫 http://lnk.to/SUFFO-EUSUMMER2025"

Suffocation was formed in Long Island in 1988. Their debut album was Effigy of the Forgotten, which dropped in 1991. Some of their beloved albums are Pierced from Within and Souls to Deny.
