Valley of the Sun Launch European Tour for The Blacklight Sessions

Ohio heavy rock trio Valley of the Sun will tour Europe throughout October and November 2026 behind their sixth album The Blacklight Sessions, released 2 October via Heavy Psych Sounds. The run opens at Tabernas Desert Rock Festival in Almería, Spain on 2 October and spans 30 dates across Spain, Germany, Poland, Austria, Slovakia, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and Sweden, closing at Fuzztival in Stockholm on 14 November. Key festival appearances include Heavy Psych Sounds Fest in Dresden (16 Oct) and Berlin (17 Oct).
