The shows will take place under the banner "Yanan Kalp Manifestations" ("Burning Heart Manifestations"). See below for the currently confirmed dates.
Imha Tarikat's mastermind, Kerem Yilmaz, states on behalf of the band: "We have kicked off 2026 with a successful show at 'Evil New Year' in Heidelberg that was followed by a mini-tour with The Ruins Of Beverast. This has only stoked the flames of our scorching ambition, and it means that we won't go any easier on you. There are more fateful dates calling for your presence. Wherever our voices may resonate, we shall meet you to be as one. Burn with us! So take this first batch of fine dates and expect more to come soon!" Link
