Following a breakthrough year, Mongolian folk metal collective UUHAI has announced its first European headline tour. The Human Herds – European Tour 2027 – Part 1 trek will take place throughout March and April 2027 and will support the band's acclaimed debut album.
The announcement follows the group's successful run on the Motocultor Across Europe Tour 2026 alongside fellow Napalm Records artists NANOWAR OF STEEL, a tour that introduced UUHAI to a broader European audience and helped establish them as one of the year's standout discoveries.
For the upcoming headline run, the band will bring an expanded live production and a setlist built around the material from Human Herds, released on January 9, 2026.
UUHAI have earned international attention through their distinctive blend of traditional Mongolian instruments, throat singing, and contemporary metal influences. The combination has allowed the group to reach listeners well beyond the traditional boundaries of the folk metal genre.
The tour will visit The Netherlands, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, and Switzerland, with support from Acyl, known for combining metal with North African musical influences, and rising act Blossom Cult.
At the heart of the band's artistic identity is a deep connection to Mongolia's history, culture, and landscapes. Those themes are central to Human Herds, an album performed entirely in Mongolian and built around reflections on nature, society, and humanity's place within the modern world.
Discussing the album, the band stated: “Human Herds is a reflection on the unstoppable tide of humanity—our migrations, our revolts, our worship, and our wounds upon the Earth. Yet in our chaos, we must remember: we all live under one sun and one moon on Earth, sharing the same fragile home.”
Since the release of their earliest songs, which accumulated millions of views online, UUHAI have evolved from an emerging act into one of the most talked-about names in the new generation of international folk metal.
