Powerwolf are a German power metal band from Saarbrücken, active since 2004. Their sound fuses heavy guitars, pipe organ and symphonic arrangements with lyrics rooted in religious iconography, werewolf mythology and gothic imagery. Over two decades they have released ten studio albums and built a reputation as one of Europe's most spectacular live acts, known for elaborate pyrotechnics and theatrical staging. Their tenth album, Wake Up the Wicked (2024), debuted at number one in both Germany and Austria.
Powerwolf announced the European Wake Up the Wicked Tour 2026 with guests Hammerfall and Wind Rose, culminating in the band's historic first performance at London's Wembley Arena.
As part of the Summer of the Wicked 2025 summer tour, the band performed at the Rock am Ring festival for the first time and continues with a series of European festivals and arena shows.
Powerwolf launched the 2025 North American tour with DragonForce as the opening band; the series starts on September 17 in Toronto and includes performances at the Louder Than Life and Aftershock festivals.
The band announced a massive European summer tour Summer of the Wicked 2025, following the nearly sold-out arena tour Wolfsnächte 2024.
The tenth studio album Wake Up the Wicked (Napalm Records) was released, debuting at number one on the German and Austrian album charts.
