Soundgarden's 2026 hologram tour revives Chris Cornell's legacy in Europe
Soundgarden is set to return to the stage with a groundbreaking European tour in 2026. The band will feature a hologram of late frontman Chris Cornell, bringing his presence back to life for fans. Tickets for the highly anticipated shows go on sale on March 25, 2026.
The tour kicks off in London in September 2026 before moving to Germany, with stops in Berlin, Hamburg, and Munich. Soundgarden will also headline Rock am Ring, one of Europe's biggest rock festivals. The hologram, powered by advanced Pepper's Ghost technology, LED walls, and AI-driven motion, interacts seamlessly with the live band during rehearsals.
Fans in Germany have shown immense excitement, with expectations of over 100,000 tickets selling in the first week. The band's previous reunion tours in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) drew strong crowds, though details of past shows remain limited. Alongside the tour, Soundgarden plans to release a new album featuring unreleased material, adding to the emotional weight of the performances. For many, the hologram tour represents a poignant journey, allowing fans to reconnect with Cornell's legacy nearly a decade after his death in 2017. The production aims to recreate the raw energy of the grunge era, offering an experience unlike any before.
The 2026 tour marks Soundgarden's first major European run since Cornell's passing. With cutting-edge holography and a new album on the way, the band is set to deliver a powerful tribute. Fans across Germany and beyond are preparing for what promises to be an unforgettable return to the stage.
