In this realm, Castle Rat is an exhilarating band hailing from NYC. They released one of the most critically acclaimed, breakthrough metal albums of 2025 according to the likes of Rolling Stone, NPR, Revolver, Kerrang!, and more. Castle Rat performed in front of 75,000 people this Spring between headline shows, major rock festivals, their tour with Amon Amarth & Dethklok, and the grand finale - sold-out 1400-cap headline show in Anaheim, CA. But in their realm, Castle Rat is on a mission to expand and defend “The Realm” from those who seek to destroy it – and it is up to YOU to help them.

Putting on one of the most impressive performances you’ll see all year, Castle Rat are bringing their must-be-seen-to-be-believed live show to North America this Fall in their biggest headline tour to date. Hitting Webster Hall in NYC and The Belasco in Los Angeles, Castle Rat will bring their interactive, lore-laden live performance – complete with a choreographed battle scene – on a 20-date tour performing in some of the biggest venues they’ve ever played. For fans who crave swords & sorcery; stoner & doom; battle-babes & beasts; Frazette & Sabbath, Castle Rat, for the first time ever, will offer their fans a VIP Experience on the Summon The Beast Tour. This VIP pass will include a live sound check with the band featuring two songs, a meet & greet with signing (two-item limit), an exclusive VIP merch gift, early access to the merch booth, as well as a photo opportunity with the Rat Reaperess.

Tickets go on-sale on Friday at 10 am locally - see below to find a show near you, and your tickets on Friday HERE . And to get a taste of what to expect, check out the band’s recent KEXP session HERE .

Castle Rat have launched their first-ever online webstore, where fans can purchase VIP passes, exclusive merch, album variants and much more. Check out CASTLE MARKET HERE for more.
