Elder Expand Their Summer European/UK Touring Plans

Elder are continuing to map out a busy 2026, adding a new batch of headlining dates to their previously announced summer run across Europe and the UK.

The progressive psych rock outfit entered the studio this past fall to begin work on their seventh studio album. While details surrounding that release remain under wraps, the band are clearly gearing up for an active year on the road in support of new material.

Their updated summer itinerary now reads as follows:
