CHARLOTTE WESSELS‘ THE OBSESSION
Support: Melissa Bonny
Charlotte Wessels continues to redefine the boundaries of modern metal with the announcement of her upcoming studio album, set for release in early 2027, followed by a European headline tour, with Melissa Bonny joined as support act.
Since embarking on her solo career in 2021, the Utrecht-based artist has forged a distinctive path, blending symphonic metal with alternative and cinematic influences, all anchored by deeply personal storytelling. Her 2024 album The Obsession marked a critical and artistic breakthrough, praised for its emotional depth, sonic diversity, and fearless exploration of themes such as fear and OCD.
Following a tour with VOLA, a successful European festival run in 2025 and a major arena tour in 2026 alongside EPICA and AMARANTHE, Wessels and her band dubbed The Obsession, after the record, now enter a new chapter – one that promises to push her sound and vision even further.
Beyond the stage, Wessels has cultivated a direct and deeply engaged fanbase through Patreon, where over 3,000 supporters follow her ongoing “Song of the Month” series and creative process. This close artist–fan connection continues to play a vital role in shaping her evolving body of work.
With new music on the horizon and a European headline tour to follow, Charlotte Wessels stands at the forefront of a new wave of artists redefining what modern metal can be.
