Arch Enemy: Summer Breeze 2026 pro-shot set

Arch Enemy have released the full pro-shot video of their 85-minute Summer Breeze headline set from August 14, 2026 — and for many fans it’s the first proper look at the band with new frontwoman Lauren Hart.

What happened

The footage captures an extended headline slot at Summer Breeze and includes the band’s February single, To The Last Breath, the first studio track to feature Hart since she joined Arch Enemy in February. The set also covers material originally sung by Alissa White-Gluz, Angela Gossow and Johan Liiva, showing how the group has adapted older songs for their new frontperson.

"her remarkable voice" — Michael Amott

Founding guitarist Michael Amott praised working with Hart when the band announced her, and the Summer Breeze video gives context to that comment: Hart handles the band’s high-energy melodic death metal delivery across an extensive, varied set.

Why metal fans should care

If you’ve followed the long-running lineup changes — White-Gluz left in November 2025 after a near-12-year tenure — this video is the clearest demonstration yet of what Arch Enemy sounds like live with their latest singer. White-Gluz has kept busy since leaving, releasing the solo single The Room Where She Died, forming the extreme metal band Blue Medusa and joining Dragonforce as co-lead singer alongside Marc Hudson, but Arch Enemy have moved forward and this pro-shot set is their calling card.

Arch Enemy have spent the summer across European festivals and small-capacity headline rooms — including the Underworld in London and Rebellion in Manchester, each holding around 500 people — and will return to North America to co-headline a run with The Black Dahlia Murder, with Septicflesh, Crypta and Thrown Into Exile supporting. They are also booked for the 70,000 Tons Of Metal cruise from January 14 to 18.

To The Last Breath remains the only released track featuring Hart; the band’s latest studio album, Blood Dynasty, arrived last year and there’s been no update on a new record yet. For now, the Summer Breeze pro-shot set is the clearest statement of Arch Enemy’s live identity in 2026.
