It's been almost four years since The Minds of 99 last played an Arena-format concert. Now it's been announced that the band will be going on the Arena Tour in 2026. These are the band's first headlining concerts since their three concerts in Parken.

This spring, The Minds of 99 will go on the Arena Tour for the first time in four years, including playing four concerts at the Royal Arena. This most recently happened when the band played their Infinity Action Tour in 2022. 

Niels Brandt says about the expectations for the upcoming arena tour:

“These concerts will be the first sod of a new musical chapter for us. And our team is also working on completely new ideas for the show itself. We can feel it all moving forward and it’s exciting. The park was huge, but the audience made it almost intimate – it felt more like playing in Store VEGA. That experience was so biblical, really. We are lucky to have such an audience and we think it will be even more intense in the arenas. It’s going to be boiling!”
