Aria

Aria is a heavy metal band formed in Moscow in 1985, and its current tour gives a clear reason to see the group live. The US leg opens on 1 November 2026 at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles, then runs through Oakland, Seattle, Chicago, New York and Washington in about two weeks. There are 15 dates in total up to September 2027, including Russian stops in Pyatigorsk, Krasnodar, Rostov-on-Don, Voronezh and Bryansk. This is for fans of traditional metal with a NWOBHM feel, the sound that earned Aria the nickname of the Russian Iron Maiden. When buying, compare venues: Joe's Live Rosemont in Chicago, the Oceana Theater in New York and Karma DC in Washington are different settings for the same tour.
