DragonForce 2026 North American Tour: Get Ready to Shred! #shorts

American Herman Li and Canadian Herman Li have a disagreement to settle, and apparently a straightforward tour announcement won't do. DragonForce's only upload this week casts its guitarist in multiple roles across a string of sketches, turning an itinerary into an increasingly elaborate comedy production.

"DragonForce 2026 North American Tour: Get Ready to Shred! #shorts" is an advertisement for the band's Inhuman Rampage anniversary tour, but it takes the scenic route. A fake pharmaceutical commercial offers concerts as a remedy for boredom. A VR-headset scene questions whether a screen can replace a live show. Elsewhere, the two Hermans' melodrama escalates to a hospital delivery room and a guitar baby, before a black-and-white French-film parody takes the argument outside a café.

The upload reached roughly 12,000 views in its first nine hours. In the comments, viewers nominate Herman for an acting award, pick out the rapid cuts and recognize a familiar Call of Duty announcer's voice. The commercial format itself has become part of the conversation, rather than merely a wrapper around the dates.

There is music moving alongside the comedy. September's "DRAGONFORCE - Hunger of the Beast (Official Video)" is approaching two million views and continues to draw fresh viewing. Its description announces the self-titled tenth album for March 2027, with Alissa White-Gluz and Alessio Garavello on vocals.

DragonForce's subscriber count held steady over the week. For listeners returning to the channel, the contrast is unusually specific: a new song full of solos on one side, and Herman Li conducting an entire miniature comedy repertory on the other.

I don't know if you can win an Oscar for a YouTube short, but Herman deserves one for this.

Full disclosure: I initially got tickets because I wanted to see Ensiferum but after listening to a lot of you guys’ stuff I get the feeling that even after Ensiferum gets off the stage I’m gonna have the time of my life!
