SOULS OF DIOTIMA will take their “Arcade // Level One” tour to France, Belgium and the Netherlands in March 2027, with Solitude Within announced as support. The Italian band will play three shows from 19 to 21 March, with further dates due to be announced and ticket links to follow.
Three March shows
The tour opens on 19 March 2027 at Le Stock in Mennecy, France. The next night, SOULS OF DIOTIMA will play Club Hell in Diest, Belgium, before finishing this first run at Popei in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, on 21 March.
The dates follow the release of the band’s fifth studio album, “Arcade”, which arrived through Diotima Records on 2 October 2026. The 11-track record includes “Warning!”, “Revenge”, “Deadline”, “Black Rose”, “Run Away”, “Time is a Flame”, “A Child”, “Senza Rancore”, “Head Up, Guard Up”, “Cage” and “Nocturnal Vibe”.
A million views for “Cage”
The tour announcement comes as SOULS OF DIOTIMA celebrate more than 1,000,000 YouTube views for “Cage”, the album’s focus track and official video. The milestone was reached four weeks after “Arcade” was released. The album has also entered Apple Music and iTunes charts in 19 countries, including Italy, Canada, Japan, Finland and Portugal.
The official video was directed and filmed by Daniele Diana for Psycho Bunker Factory. The song was recorded, mixed and mastered by Oscar Nilsson, Mikko Viitala and Thomas Plec Johansson at Studio Bohus in Sweden.
Claudia Barsi leads the vocals
Claudia Barsi is the band’s lead vocalist. She performs alongside drummer Giorgio Pinna, guitarist and vocalist Fabio Puddu, and bassist Manuel Dettori. The line-up represents the current Sardinian band as it moves from its earlier symphonic and power-metal roots towards modern metalcore with electronic and synthwave elements.
SOULS OF DIOTIMA had previously released the album “Janas” in 2021 and the cover single “Another Day in Paradise” in 2024. Their upcoming European dates will be the first live shows announced in support of “Arcade”.
