In a new interview with Metal Mayhem ROC, Raven frontman John Gallagher reflected on the band’s just-completed North American run, praising packed rooms and consistently strong attendance.,“It’s been a fantastic tour,” Gallagher said.

“I’m singing better than ever.

The energy level is off the charts… it’s probably the best tour we’ve done here in the States in an awful long time.” That assessment wasn’t based on nostalgia, but on tangible results.,Cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco delivered particularly memorable nights, though he noted there were few, if any, real low points across the entire run.,“We’ve… had the packed room and having people going nuts,” he added.

“Brilliant.

Love it.” With the band immediately preparing for a European leg beginning this month, the US tour now stands as a momentum-building chapter rather than a conclusion, setting the tone for the next phase of Raven’s ongoing 2026 campaign.,Raven kicks off the first leg of their European tour on May 13 in Germany.
