Behemoth and Dimmu Borgir concert, Stockholm, October 2026

I’d seen both Behemoth and Dimmu Borgir before (four years ago and just last year at Wacken, respectively), but there was no way I was going to miss this tour of giants. As expected, my excitement completely paid off; the concert was amazing, and I’m so happy I had the chance to be there. I was also lucky that I had a great place during the night (second row), so I could really enjoy one of my favourite activities: that of admiring great guitarists right in front of me.

Dark Funeral

Dark Funeral was the opening act of the night. I hadn’t seen them before (they were at Wacken last year, but I didn’t end up going to the show); they played shortly (only about half an hour), but it was a good setlist and a good show opener.

Here are a few photos taken during their set.

Dimmu Borgir

Dimmu Borgir followed, and were great as usual. It was good to finally hear some songs from the new album live; those mixed with their older classics made it a wonderful show.

Here are various pictures taken during their performance.

Behemoth

The stage rearrangement took about an hour between Dimmu Borgir and Behemoth, but it was so worth it, as Behemoth’s live performances are in many ways like theatre pieces. The energy during the whole performance was top-notch, and Shagrath joining the stage was an absolute highlight. An amazing show and a great way to end a one-of-a-kind concert.
