Words: Music News Monthly
Las Vegas dark rock outfit The Nocturnal Affair have been confirmed as a support act for Fear Factory’s upcoming Cybernetic Domination UK & European Tour 2026 alongside Japanese metalcore band Crystal Lake and Polish extreme metal outfit Hate.
The tour will visit 32 cities across Eastern, Northern and Western Europe before returning to the United Kingdom for the final dates. This massive tour kicks off in Poznan, Poland on August 29th and wraps up on October 10th at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town.
This tour is going to be huge and the fact that The Nocturnal Affair have been chosen to open for Fear Factory on the Cybernetic Domination UK & European Tour 2026 is a massive honour for the Las Vegas dark rock outfit. The band’s frontman Brendan Shane was over the moon when he found out that the tour was happening and that they were going to be a part of it.
"The Nocturnal Affair are honoured that Fear Factory have given us this opportunity to share the stage with them. Returning to Europe with so many heavy hitters like Fear Factory, Crystal Lake and Hate is a musician's dream."
UK and Ireland fans will be able to see the band at the end of the tour as they play Manchester, Nottingham, Buckley, Belfast, Glasgow, Bristol, Southampton and London with Dublin’s Academy also receiving a visit on the Irish leg of the shows.
The Nocturnal Affair have been touring steadily over the last couple of years with a constantly growing list of songs to draw from. Frontman and founder, Brendan Shane is renowned for writing hard rock music with a darker, more atmospheric edge, incorporating Gothic and Industrial elements with a strong emphasis on melody and hooks to create a sound that is both modern and relevant. Their live performances have become the focal point of the band, drawing a diverse crowd of fans from various hard rock and metal scenes.
The Nocturnal Affair describe their live shows as a ‘live event’ and constantly interact with their audience to ensure they get the best possible experience. The shows consist of a mixture of heavier hard rock and darker atmospheric elements and draw from influences such as gothic rock and industrial. Fans of The Nocturnal Affair have previously travelled from all over Europe to see them live and now they get the chance to see them once again on the Cybernetic Domination tour.
Starting in Poland the tour will then make its way through to Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg, Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Italy and France before arriving in the UK and Ireland for the final dates on the tour.
