Black Veil Brides Face Lineup Shakeup on European Vindicatour

In a twist that no one saw coming, Black Veil Brides have announced an unexpected lineup change during their 2026 Vindicatour across Europe. On June 6th, the band took to social media to reveal that drummer Christian Coma will be stepping away from the stage due to a personal matter that has remained shrouded in mystery. The band expressed their heartfelt apologies to fans, particularly regarding the previously announced cancellation of their June 8th show in Milan, Italy.

In a bid to keep the tour rolling, BVB has enlisted the drumming prowess of Wade Murff, a seasoned player known for his work with Godsmack and Orgy. Wade will be filling in for Coma after the Rock Am Ring festival on June 7th, ensuring that the thunderous beats that fans crave won't skip a beat. The band reassured their followers that Coma is expected to return for the second leg of the tour in the U.S., asking fans to send him love and support during this trying time.

The remaining dates of the European leg promise to be an adrenaline-fueled ride, with stops in iconic venues and festivals across Germany, the UK, and beyond. From the legendary Download Festival in Derby to the atmospheric Hellfest in Clisson, Black Veil Brides are set to deliver their signature blend of theatrical metal and heart-pounding anthems. The tour's itinerary includes a series of unforgettable performances that fans won’t want to miss.

As the Vindicatour rolls on, the band is also gearing up for an extensive U.S. tour in August and September, where they’ll hit cities from Phoenix to Montclair. With tracks from their latest album “Vindicate” leading the charge, BVB is ready to unleash their powerful sound on American soil once more. The lineup may have shifted, but the spirit of heavy metal burns fiercely within the ranks of Black Veil Brides.
