DragonForce with Alissa White-Gluz
DragonForce is starting a new chapter—and to do so, they’ve brought on board one of the most iconic voices in modern metal: Alissa White-Gluz, internationally known as the longtime former lead singer of Arch Enemy. The Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling power metal pioneers from London will perform at the Volkshaus Zürich on Monday, May 3, 2027, with White-Gluz as their new vocalist, while also working on their tenth studio album.
Since their founding in 1999 by guitarists Herman Li and Sam Totman, Dragonforce has been synonymous with breathtaking speed, technically sophisticated guitar work, anthemic choruses, and spectacular live shows. With Alissa White-Gluz, a new musical dimension is now opening up, without losing the band’s characteristic energy and precision.
Dragonforce celebrated their international breakthrough in 2006 with the album *Inhuman Rampage* and, in particular, with the song “Through the Fire and Flames.” The track became a global phenomenon, went platinum, has been streamed over 330 million times on Spotify, and viewed more than 150 million times on YouTube. As the legendary and notoriously difficult final song in *Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock*, the song also reached an audience far beyond the metal scene.
Full steam ahead: As special guests, Visions Of Atlantis and Wings of Steel will ensure a diverse metal lineup. Visions Of Atlantis bring their epic “Pirates Metal” to the stage. With *Pirates* and *Pirates II – Armada*, the band has created its very own musical world and made a name for itself with several sold-out international tours. Wings of Steel round out the lineup with classic heavy metal, powerful riffs, and plenty of energy.
One thing is certain: DragonForce are back and hitting the gas again—faster than ever, with Alissa White-Gluz by their side. A new era begins!
