If you love women who rock (and, to be sure, you should), and haven't yet checked out Jinjer, your chance is coming soon if you live in North America. The Ukrainian metalcore band has nearly 20 years of an elite catalog, and the current tour will be the final chapter in the most recent album, 2025's Duél.
Jinjer is fronted by Tatiana Shmayluk, whose voice is a perfect fit for the band's style, and she is certainly terrific live. The entire band is. Plus, the band plays with its style a bit as much in concert as it does on studio albums.
What fans will get isn't just Lamb of God-type metal, though that is quite good, but influences from other genres, too, such as R&B and hip-hop. The way the other genres are molded with Jinjer's prog-metal is what makes the group's sound special.
Jinjer drops dates for 2026 North American tour
Tickets for a summer run of North American shows in 2026 will be made available on Friday, March 20. The tour begins in Quebec in early June before heading south and then to California. The run of shows then sets up home in the Midwest before finishing in California. For more information, one can visit Jinjer's official website.
The band will be joined on tour by Crystal Lake (on most shows) and Entheos. Expect nuanced bombast and high-end entertainment.
