Estonian black metal band Loits makes history with Latin America tour

Estonian black metal band Loits is heading to Latin America this summer to celebrate their 30th anniversary. The band will perform in Mexico and Colombia in July and August, becoming the first Estonian band ever to headline a South American tour.

Estonian black metal pioneers Loits are set to make history this summer by embarking on a landmark Latin American tour to mark three decades of activity. The Tallinn-based band will perform shows in Mexico and Colombia during July and August, celebrating 30 years since their formation.

This milestone achievement marks the first time any Estonian band has headlined a tour in South America — a remarkable feat for a band from a country of just 1.3 million people. Loits has long been considered the flagship act of Estonian black metal, building a dedicated international fanbase over their three decades of music.

The tour represents a significant moment not only for the band but for Estonian music as a whole. While Estonian artists have occasionally performed abroad, no domestic act had previously managed to secure a headline slot on a South American tour circuit. Fans in Mexico and Colombia — known for their passionate metal communities — will have the rare opportunity to witness one of Estonia's most iconic heavy metal exports perform live.
