The Dutch metal juggernauts reunite and set their sights on Indian shores for an explosive 2025 tour.
Progressive metal fans in India, brace yourselves. After years of silence following their farewell in 2017, Dutch metal pioneers Textures are back—and they’re coming in loud. Known for their signature blend of crushing polyrhythms, soaring melodies, and complex arrangements, the band’s long-awaited reunion tour is turning heads across the global metal community. And now, Indian fans are about to get a front-row seat to witness their chaotic beauty live.
The announcement of the Textures India Tour 2025 has sent a shockwave through the metal underground, and rightly so. With their deeply emotional compositions and technical mastery, Textures carved out a distinct identity in the 2000s metal scene. Albums like Drawing Circles, Silhouettes, and Phenotype showcased the band’s ability to balance brutality with atmosphere—pioneering what many now refer to as modern progressive metal.
A Reunion That’s More Than Nostalgia
What makes this tour even more significant is the timing. In an era where many bands reunite only to cash in on nostalgia, Textures has always done things differently. This reunion feels more like a continuation than a revival—fuelled by unfinished creative business and a hunger to reconnect with a fanbase that has only grown more devoted in their absence.
India, with its rapidly growing metal community and passionate underground scenes, has long deserved visits from more progressive heavyweights—and Textures finally answering the call is a milestone. Indian fans who’ve grown up watching grainy YouTube videos of their European performances now have the chance to experience that same energy firsthand.
What to Expect at the Shows
Expect an immersive experience that goes beyond just heavy riffage. Known for their incredible live dynamics, Textures offers a range of emotional highs and devastating lows in a single set. From the polyrhythmic madness of “Regenesis” to the ambient breakdowns of “Awake,” fans can expect a carefully curated setlist that spans all five studio albums.
Rumors are already swirling that the band will debut a new track or two during the India leg—marking the beginning of what could be a new creative chapter for Textures.
