Black Veil Brides to Play Release Athens 2026
Athens, March 26, 2026 – The American alternative/hard rock band Black Veil Brides is set to perform at Release Athens 2026 on Sunday, June 28th, at Water Square. The band will join Three Days Grace, satisfying a long-held desire of Greek audiences who have waited years to see them live. More acts are expected to be announced soon.
A Look at Black Veil Brides’ Journey
Andy Biersack, the mastermind behind Black Veil Brides, grew up influenced by KISS, Batman, Sweeney Todd, the Misfits, and the Phantom of the Opera. These influences have significantly shaped the band’s distinctive aesthetic and identity.
From their debut album, We Stitch These Wounds (2010), to the creative milestone Wretched and Divine: The Story of the Wild Ones (2013), and the more mature The Phantom Tomorrow (2021), Black Veil Brides have cultivated a large and dedicated fanbase. Their enduring appeal is evident in impressive streaming numbers: “Knives and Pens” has surpassed 160 million views, while the platinum-certified “In the End” has reached 170 million views, solidifying their position in the contemporary rock scene.
The band’s reputation extends beyond the studio. Known for their explosive stage presence, they have performed at major rock and metal festivals across America, Europe, and Australia, and have toured alongside prominent acts such as Avenged Sevenfold and Mötley Crüe.
New Music and Upcoming Performance
Black Veil Brides recently released their new single, “Certainty,” which garnered over 2 million streams in just two weeks. With a new album in the pipeline, the band is currently in one of their most creatively fertile periods, making their upcoming, inaugural performance in Greece more timely than ever.
