Gloryhammer

Gloryhammer brings its saga to Manchester Academy, Oxford Road, Manchester, on 21 November 2026. Conceived in 2010 between Scotland and Switzerland, the symphonic power metal outfit builds a continuous narrative where each member plays a character, blending medieval fantasy with a dash of space‑opera. From the chronicles of Tales from the Kingdom of Fife to the futuristic Space 1992, then Legends from Beyond the Galactic Terrorvortex and Return to the Kingdom of Fife, the storyline jumps eras while keeping a clear taste for brisk tempos, choral layers and direct, memorable melodies. On stage, the tale takes shape in a playful clash of armor and cosmic motifs, riffs built for collective sing‑backs, and keyboards cutting through the charge.

Majestica and Arion complete the bill. Both acts bring a melodic, power‑driven edge that sets the tone for the night, with precise arrangements and refrains made for the crowd, paving the way for Gloryhammer’s universe to unfold.
