ABBATH Cancels All Remaining Shows for 2026

In a surprising turn of events, ABBATH, the project fronted by former IMMORTAL vocalist Abbath, has announced the cancellation of all its remaining shows for 2026. The news was shared via social media earlier today, leaving fans and festival organizers in a state of uncertainty.

While no specific reasons were provided for this decision, the announcement follows a troubling performance at the SaariHelvetti festival in Tampere, Finland, where Abbath abruptly left the stage just minutes into their set. Reports indicate that Abbath has been grappling with health issues, which were acknowledged by the band’s drummer, Ukri Suvilehto, during the festival.

In his statement, Suvilehto expressed regret over the situation, stating, “Let’s just say that it probably won’t come as a surprise to anyone that our lead singer is struggling with health problems.” This marks a significant moment for the band, as they have been actively touring in support of their latest album, “Dread Reaver,” released in March 2022.

ABBATH’s decision to cancel their shows is a reminder of the challenges artists face, and the band has extended its apologies to fans and all affected by this decision.
