Frontman Adam &#8220;Nergal&#8221; Darski recently told <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/dpeyF4Bh1SM?si=3_z6hnlglApKBj9d\">Tons Of Rock<\/a> that the band are &#8220;looking for at least one year off&#8221; after their <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/lambgoat.com\/news\/50675\/behemoth-dimmu-borgir-and-dark-funeral-announce-october-2026-european-tour\/\">fall European tour<\/a> with Dimmu Borgir and Dark Funeral. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nergal said the following about the group&#8217;s upcoming shows:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The thing was that we either choose to do a full summer run or we do a proper headlining, co-headlining tour in the fall. And we chose the latter. It&#8217;s already been announced \u2014 DIMMU BORGIR, BEHEMOTH and DARK FUNERAL across Europe, 16 dates. So this is the main focus. So in order not to jeopardize that tour, we just decided to do very selected festivals only in June. So nothing in July or August that would just interfere with those October dates. So just four festivals, big festivals, big slots, and then a full-on production, and then three months nothing, and then the final tour. Because beyond that tour, we plan nothing. So, basically, we wrap that October tour, and BEHEMOTH is on hold.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He also offered more insight into the hiatus:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We need to recharge batteries. Basically, we need to rethink rejuvenate, so to say, and for that you need time. So I definitely don&#8217;t wanna rush anything. So we&#8217;re looking for at least one year off \u2014 nothing, no activities. We might be dropping some music. We are releasing a new EP album. It&#8217;s 40 minutes of music. So we&#8217;re dropping that right before the tour. We&#8217;re planning something for the next year as well, some special release. I can&#8217;t say much about it now. So there&#8217;s gonna be things happening in the BEHEMOTH camp, but there&#8217;s gonna be no live activities from us. I have stopped doing interviews for most part as well. So we just wanna chill.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>[via <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/blabbermouth.net\/news\/nergal-says-behemoth-will-take-at-least-one-year-off-after-fall-2026-tour-nothing-no-activities\">Blabbermouth<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It looks like Behemoth are preparing to go on hiatus.
