NOCNY KOCHANEK PLAYS GLASGOW After the jubilee year 2025, which for Nocny Kochanek looked like an attempt to break the record for the number of projects squeezed into twelve months, the band has no intention of resting or looking back. After arena concerts, cinematic adventures, planting trees in their hometown of Skarżysko-Kamienna, and releasing a cookbook in cooperation with SQN Publishing, the Traitors of Metal are hitting the road again — this time beyond Poland’s borders. In April 2026, the Lovers will play eleven shows in five countries. The tour will kick off in Hamburg (Das Logo) and will then continue through Norwich (The Brickmakers), Birmingham (Asylum), Manchester (Rebellion), Newcastle (The Cluny), Edinburgh (Liquid Room), Glasgow (Slay Glasgow), Bristol (The Fleece), London (229), Paris (Nouveau Cassino), and will conclude in The Hague (Musicon). 09.04.2026 – DE – HAMBURG – DAS LOGO 11.04.2026 – UK – NORWICH – THE BRICKMAKERS 12.04.2026 – UK – BIRMINGHAM – ASYLUM 14.04.2026 – UK – MANCHESTER – REBELLION 17.04.2026 – UK – NEWCASTLE – THE CLUNY 18.04.2026 – UK – EDINBURGH – LIQUID ROOM 19.04.2026 – UK – GLASGOW – SLAY GLASGOW 21.04.2026 – UK – BRISTOL – THE FLEECE 24.04.2026 – UK – LONDON – 229 25.04.2026 – FR – PARIS – NOUVEAU CASSINO 26.04.2026 – NL – THE HAGUE – MUSICON The concert setlist includes material from the entire span of Nocny Kochanek’s activity: tracks from their debut album Hewi Metal, through songs from Zdrajcy Metalu, Randka w Ciemność, O Jeden Most za Daleko, and finally the conceptual Urwany film. Of course, songs from the compilation As w nogawce will also be there! Musically, Nocny Kochanek is heavy metal inspired by the giants of the genre — which is obvious at first… ear. The lyrics feature their signature night-lover humor and are usually based on facts, sometimes even real ones..! Using humor often rooted in pastiche, wordplay, and absurdity, Nocny Kochanek paints a picture of the Polish metal subculture with a huge dose of self-distance and a playful approach to the image typically associated with classic heavy metal. If the anniversary year was meant to show that the band can do absolutely anything, then this spring tour is meant to prove that they still do it best when they’re on stage. See you on the other side of the border.
