Hardcore Superstar is a Swedish street metal band from Gothenburg, active since the mid-1990s. Known for raw, high-voltage live shows and a catalogue that spans albums like "Beg for It" and "Abrakadabra", they built a loyal following across Scandinavia and Europe. Their profile grew significantly when director James Gunn wove their music into both seasons of the HBO Max series Peacemaker, bringing the band to a global audience.
Hardcore Superstar announced the 21-date "Dirty Halo" autumn 2026 tour covering Sweden, Finland and Estonia, described by the band as their biggest Scandinavian run in years.
The band confirmed they are currently in the studio working on the follow-up to their album Abrakadabra, alongside tour preparations.
Hardcore Superstar's track "Guestlist" appeared on the official Peacemaker Season 2 soundtrack album, curated by James Gunn and released by WaterTower Music.
The band launched a dedicated North American web store, expanding merchandise availability for US and Canadian fans.
Longtime drummer Magnus "Adde" Andreasson left the band after 25 years; he was replaced by Johan Reivén, previously known for his work with Swedish band LOK.
