Apocalyptica and The Hu are hitting the road this summer, and the Finnish metal cellist trio is making the tour even more memorable for fans. The band just announced that VIP packages are officially on sale for select United States tour dates.
The co-headlining tour was announced on Monday, along with the news that Finnish band, The Rasmus, will be opening for both hands on the summer 2026 tour, which begins in May.
Ticket pre-sales have been live since Wednesday, while general ticket sales begin Friday at 10 a.m. local time. VIP Meet & Greet packages are now available for purchase for headline shows across the country via Apocalyptica's official site.
VIP Meet & Greet packages include a ticket to the show, the opportunity to meet Apocalyptica and take a photo, an autographed lithograph, exclusive VIP merchandise pack, commemorative VIP laminate and lanyard, the chance to shop for merch without large crowds, and early entry into the venue.
Neither Apocalyptica nor The Hu are your everyday metal bands; they both utilize symphonic and traditional instruments that aren't typically found in the heavy metal genre. While both bands are outliers on their own, they make perfect sense to co-headline a tour, offering fans the rare chance to see both acts side by side.

Apocalyptica was formed in 1993 by four classically trained cellists as a Metallica tribute act before they ultimately switched to performing original pieces. The band began to incorporate standard metal instruments into their arrangements, including drums and vocals. To date, the band has released 10 studio albums.
