The Haunted - Songs of Last Resort Tour 2026

The Haunted bring the Songs of Last Resort Tour 2026 to Rebellion Manchester on 9 October 2026. Formed in Gothenburg in 1996 by musicians linked to At the Gates and Satanic Slaughter, the Swedish band shaped a sound where thrash collides with melodic death metal and a hard, stripped‑down hardcore tension. Early releases like The Haunted (1998), Made Me Do It (2000), One Kill Wonder (2003) and rEVOLVEr (2004) cemented a fast, tight approach, later broadened on The Dead Eye (2006), Versus (2008), Unseen (2011), Exit Wounds (2014) and Strength in Numbers (2017).

Their story tracks shifts at the mic between Peter Dolving and Marco Aro, and an evolving lineup around a core led by guitarist Patrik Jensen and bassist Jonas Björler, with contributions over the years from Anders Björler, Adrian Erlandsson and Ola Englund. Live, the grammar stays the same: sharp, serrated riffs, high-tempo surges and heavier mid‑stride passages that lock together. In Manchester, the set draws from across the catalogue and holds to that direct, no‑frills writing that has defined the band on tour and in festivals.
