On 1 February 2026, the Coliseu dos Recreios in Lisbon will become the stage for one of the most anticipated symphonic metal events of the year, as Epica bring the Arcane Dimensions Tour to Portugal for a night that promises scale, intensity, and theatrical power.
The Lisbon date marks a key moment in Epica’s European journey, as the Dutch band present their new studio album Aspiral, scheduled for release on 11 April. Following the success of Omega and the band’s recent large-scale productions, Aspiral is described by Epica as a work driven by narrative depth, grandeur, and timeless melodies. This new chapter is expected to translate into a renewed live show, with an emphasis on atmosphere, precision, and emotional impact — elements that have long defined Epica’s reputation as one of symphonic metal’s most formidable live acts.
With the Arcane Dimensions Tour, Epica continue to build on the momentum generated by their immersive The Symphonic Synergy performances and their high-profile appearances on major international stages. The Lisbon concert is positioned as a showcase of this evolution, offering audiences a production designed to match the ambition of the new material while revisiting the band’s unmistakable sonic identity.

Opening the night will be Charlotte Wessels’ The Obsession. The former Delain vocalist arrives in Lisbon following the release of her debut solo album The Obsession, issued via Napalm Records. Marking a significant artistic turning point, this new project highlights Wessels’ ability to combine emotional weight with carefully crafted atmospheres, bringing a distinct and intimate dimension to the evening.
With a programme centred on Epica’s new era and supported by one of the most recognisable voices in modern symphonic metal, 1 February 2026 promises to be a night defined by scale, emotion, and musical ambition. For fans of symphonic metal, the Arcane Dimensions Tour stop in Lisbon stands as one of the season’s essential live events.
