Kim Dracula on European tourfrom January 2026

Trap metal sensation announces four shows in Germany

Since Kim Dracula turned social feeds upside down with the now legendary "Paparazzi" cover in autumn 2020, more and more fans and followers have fallen for the Tasmanian trap metal trailblazer. Anyone who has tasted blood during the latest German dates can look forward to the ultimate live horror follow-up at the beginning of 2026: Kim Dracula will not only be swinging the chainsaw again in Hamburg and Cologne as part of the upcoming "Europe + UK Tour" from the end of January, but will also be teaching German fans the creeps in Munich and Berlin beforehand.

The Tasmanian metal devil of the TikTok era is musically almost impossible to grasp: Hobart's underground scene was the wild breeding ground in which Samuel Wellings aka Kim Dracula(they/them) developed a passion for very different sounds early on - from nu-metal to trap, from industrial to hyperpop, from hardcore to jazz. In fact, a number of genres come together in the explosive tracks. Originally active on drums in various bands, Samuel transformed a Deftones song title into his current solo artist name and initially made a name for himself with metal cover songs on TikTok. The interpretation of Lady Gaga's"Paparazzi" really went through the roof, which was officially released a few weeks later - and is now heading for a quarter of a billion streams. The album "A Gradual Decline in Morale ", released in 2023, also gave Kim Dracula her first viral hits with "Make Me Famous" and "Drown", combining for over 60 million streams.

Kim Dracula is celebrated for her crazy zigzag course between metal, indie, alternative and trap. Kim brought Jonathan Davis (KoRn) into the studio for the debut and has since worked with Tech N9ne, Left To Suffer, SeeYouSpaceCowboy, SosMula and IC3PEAK, among others. First heard in 2024 on the concept album for the musical "Warriors" (by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis) - together with Nas, Busta Rhymes and Ms. Lauryn Hill - Kim was last featured on the song "In This Moment" by Heretic.

In recent months, Kim Dracula 's live shows with the Japanese metalcore institution HANABIE, Wednesday 13 and Ice Nine Kills have been a blatant XXL horror spectacle. Visually bordering on overkill, Australia's #1 genre masher relies on canvas-sized effects - including chainsaws, coffins & co. "We want to really shake people up, put on a show that questions everything," says Kim Dracula, who knows how to control chaos like no other artist.
