Fresh off the back of one of the most significant tours of her career, Dutch singer, songwriter, and producer Charlotte Wessels has wasted no time in looking ahead. Just days after wrapping up a run of arena-sized European dates alongside symphonic metal titans Epica and Amaranthe on the Arcane Dimensions Tour, Wessels has announced that she and her band, The Obsession, will headline their very own European trek in early 2027. Among the confirmed stops is a Vienna date at the beloved Szene Wien on February 15, 2027.
The Obsession Hits the Road: This Time on Their Own Terms
The announcement marks a meaningful step forward for Wessels, who has steadily built a devoted following since departing Delain and launching her solo career. The headline run spans 19 dates across Europe and the United Kingdom, kicking off on February 4 in Sint-Niklaas, Belgium, and wrapping up on February 27 in Wessels‘ hometown of Utrecht. Fans can expect longer sets, deeper cuts, and the kind of intimate, charged atmosphere that only a headline show can deliver.
Adding further excitement to the bill, modern metal vocalist Melissa Bonny of AD INFINITUM will serve as support act for nearly all dates on the tour, Vienna included. Bonny has carved out her own formidable reputation in the European metal scene, making her a natural and compelling pairing with Wessels on this run.
What to Expect: The Album Behind the Tour
The tour draws its name. and much of its emotional weight, from Wessels‘ 2024 album The Obsession, a record that garnered widespread critical acclaim upon its release. Reviewers praised its dynamic ambition and the sheer range Wessels brings to her songwriting and production, with outlets highlighting everything from soaring melodic hooks to moments of vulnerable introspection. The album has since been expanded with a deluxe edition featuring “Backup Plan,” a collaboration with Asger Mygind of VOLA, and was followed by the standalone single “After Us, The Flood” in early 2026. Live, this material has already proven to resonate powerfully with audiences, and a headline setting will only deepen that connection.
