Powerwolf and DragonForce: the North American tour announced for fall 2025

Powerwolf's fall 2025 North American run paired the band with DragonForce across Canada and the United States. DragonForce announced the dates on April 8, naming theater and club appearances alongside Louder Than Life and Aftershock festival entries. The pairing marked a different bill from Powerwolf's 2024 North American itinerary, which had featured Unleash The Archers.

The 2025 list began with Toronto at Rebel on September 17 and Detroit at Masonic Cathedral on September 18, then continued through dates including St. Louis, Grand Rapids, Milwaukee and St. Paul. The Canadian stretch named Edmonton Convention Center on September 26, Grey Eagle in Calgary on September 27 and Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver on September 29. This route placed a run of individual venue shows around larger festival engagements rather than treating every entry as the same type of concert.

The announcement listed Louder Than Life in Louisville on September 19 and Aftershock in Sacramento on October 4. Festival entries need to be read differently from standalone dates: they identify the band's place in a broader event, not a promise that the whole touring package receives an identical running order or set length. The schedule also included Seattle's Paramount Theatre on September 30 and Portland's Keller Auditorium on October 1, completing the westward movement described in the original list.

DragonForce connected the run to the period following Warp Speed Warriors, released on March 15, 2024, through Napalm Records. The album reference placed the band's recent recorded work beside the concert announcement, while Powerwolf supplied the headline partnership. Both the individual venue stops and the festival dates gave the package a route across several different regional audiences.

Toronto and Detroit opened the announced sequence before the routing crossed the Midwest and western Canada. Seattle and Portland brought the final theater dates into the US Northwest, followed by the Aftershock listing in Sacramento. The itinerary made the Canadian stops central to the run rather than a short extension of an American route.
