German thrash legends Kreator are officially returning to the United States in 2026 with Carcass and enlisting Florida’s own Cold Steel as support. After last storming American stages in 2024, the band will launch a full headline run this spring, anchoring the trek with major festival appearances at Welcome to Rockville, Sonic Temple, and Maryland Deathfest.
The tour begins May 7 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and rages through May 23 with a final stop in Huntington, New York. In between, Kreator will strike key markets across the East Coast and Midwest, bringing their sharpened live attack back to long-awaiting fans. VIP packages are available, with artist pre-sales beginning Thursday, December 11 at 10am local, followed by a general on-sale Friday, December 12 at 10am local.
The tour comes in support of Kreator’s highly anticipated sixteenth studio album, Krushers of the World, out January 16 via Nuclear Blast Records. The band recently unleashed the blistering new single “Satanic Anarchy”, paired with a violent and cinematic music video that sets the tone for the album ahead.
