English grindcore pioneers NAPALM DEATH have announced a massive North American tour for Spring 2026, reaffirming their status as one of heavy music’s most relentless and uncompromising forces. The run will feature Deadguy and Primitive Man as special guests on select dates.
The tour launches May 7, 2026, with a high-profile appearance at Welcome to Rockville in Daytona Beach, Florida, before tearing across the U.S. and Canada. The journey concludes on June 14 in Vancouver, BC, at The Pearl, following more than a month of club shows, festivals, and special appearances.
Tickets go on sale Friday, January 30 at 10:00am local time.
Deadguy will join the tour from May 11 through May 23, while Primitive Man will appear on dates spanning May 21 through June 14. Several shows will feature no support, including major festival stops such as Welcome to Rockville, Sonic Temple, and Maryland Deathfest, while select dates also include additional guests like Pig Destroyer and Acid Bath.
For nearly four decades, NAPALM DEATH have stood as the undisputed architects of grindcore, melding crust punk, death metal, and noise into a ferocious sound defined by blast beats, down-tuned distortion, and politically charged extremity. Far from resting on legacy status, the Birmingham legends continue to push forward with the same urgency, invention, and confrontational energy that made them one of the most influential bands in extreme music history.
With this upcoming tour, NAPALM DEATH once again prove that innovation, aggression, and fearlessness have no expiration date.
