BLEED FROM WITHIN Take “Zenith” Across Europe In New Summer 2026 Tour Vlog


Scottish heavyweights BLEED FROM WITHIN have returned with the second installment of their Summer 2026 Tour Vlog, documenting another packed stretch of European shows as the band continues taking their latest album, Zenith, to festivals and venues across the continent. The journey begins in Gdańsk, Poland, where the band prepare for the first show with soundcheck footage before moving on to Wrocław, again giving viewers a glimpse behind the scenes before the stage comes alive. Both Polish dates were part of the band's summer run with IN FLAMES, with the shows taking place on July 15 and 16.

From Poland, the vlog moves through Area 53 Festival in Leoben, Austria, mixing backstage moments with live footage from the shows already featured in the journey. Away from the stage, BLEED FROM WITHIN find time for games with other bands and crew, while the tour also captures a birthday celebration for bassist Davie Provan, with the crowd joining together to sing “Happy Birthday.” The band then continues to Bratislava, Slovakia, where sightseeing, food and drinks provide a quieter break from the relentless touring schedule before another performance. The summer run included Bratislava on July 19, followed by a July 21 appearance in Dornbirn, Austria.

The vlog then heads to Dornbirn, where the band perform at the Kultur Summer Festival, while some downtime takes the members into nature for a refreshing swim in the cold river. Bologna, Italy follows, bringing one of the vlog's more entertaining backstage moments when vocalist Scott Kennedy jokes that the band are ready to play a show with “the worst band ever,” only for IN FLAMES vocalist Anders Fridén to walk into frame and agree. Kennedy continues the joke, with Fridén encouraging the Scottish musicians to loosen up, play some games and listen to some good music. The Italian stop also featured BLEED FROM WITHIN alongside IN FLAMES and EMPLOYED TO SERVE.

From Italy, the journey continues to Tolminator in Slovenia, where the band take another dip in the river and make the most of some downtime before heading to Budapest, where footage shows the members exercising ahead of the show. The tour then reaches Rockstadt Extreme Fest in Romania before returning to Slovakia for Košice, where BLEED FROM WITHIN share the stage with CRYPTOPSY. Drummer Ali Richardson expresses his excitement at seeing the highly respected Flo Mounier perform, while reflecting on the run as one of the band's best tours. The vlog closes with more live footage and fan moments, including artwork presented to the band in Romania, bringing together the shows, friendships, backstage chaos and quieter moments that made up BLEED FROM WITHIN's Summer 2026 European campaign. Zenith, the band's seventh studio album, features 11 tracks and was produced and written by the band, with mixing and mastering handled by Ermin Hamidovic.
