Beast In Black and Gloryhammer storm the Bourbon Theatre in March

The Finnish band's first North American headline run of 2027 hits Lincoln on Wednesday, March 10, with Gloryhammer in support.

Lincoln metal fans get a weeknight with a lot of volume packed into it. Beast In Black plays the Bourbon Theatre on Wednesday, March 10, 2027, with Gloryhammer. The show starts at 8 p.m., and tickets run $64.83 to $121.48 through Ticketmaster. The date was announced Oct. 27.

The show is part of a February and March North American headline run, which Blabbermouth reported the same day. The tour opens in February with dates including Charlotte's The Underground and Atlanta's The Masquerade, and Gloryhammer rides along as support. Presales started Oct. 29, with the general on-sale Oct. 30, so tickets are available now.

Blabbermouth describes Beast In Black as a Helsinki-based band led by Anton Kabanen, formerly of Battle Beast. That background matters for this tour in particular. When the band toured North America with Helloween on that band's 40th-anniversary run earlier this year, Blabbermouth reported that Kabanen would sit out those dates. A headline tour of its own puts the band back on North American stages on its own terms.

The pairing with Gloryhammer isn't new. The two bands have toured Europe together before, on the "Glory and the Beast" double-headline run that Nuclear Blast announced for 2024, with stops like Belgium's AB. This time Beast In Black headlines and Gloryhammer opens, but anyone who caught the European version will know the two bands were built to share a bill.

Gloryhammer has headlined North America in its own right, too, with a past run alongside Aether Realm that Metal Temple covered. So the support slot here is filled by a band with its own following, which makes the full night a real double bill for the price of one ticket.

The Bourbon Theatre holds 637. That's a small room for a bill like this, and it's what makes the date worth circling. Two bands that have shared double-headline billing in Europe will be squeezed onto one stage in front of a few hundred Lincoln fans on a Wednesday. Expect it to be loud, packed and very close to the front.

JamBase lists the show simply as metal. The price range, from about $65 to about $121, reflects a touring headline production coming through a mid-sized city, and a room this small doesn't leave much margin for waiting.

Tickets are on sale now at the link above. March 10 is a school night for some and a work night for most, but it's also the kind of show that people talk about for months after. Wear earplugs, wear something you can sweat in, and get there in time for Gloryhammer.
