Deathcore veterans to perform songs spanning their entire catalog; Chelsea Grin, The Acacia Strain, and Netherwalker to support
Deathcore titans Whitechapel are celebrating two decades of brutality with their biggest headlining tour to date. The Tennessee outfit has announced a special 20th Anniversary North American tour for fall 2026, promising fans a career-spanning setlist featuring material from every era of the band’s storied catalog.
Presented by Live Nation, the trek launches November 11 in Atlanta, Georgia, and concludes with a hometown-area finale at The Caverns in Pelham, Tennessee, on December 18. Joining Whitechapel on the road are fellow deathcore heavyweights Chelsea Grin and The Acacia Strain, along with rising newcomers Netherwalker. Canadian dates in Montreal and Toronto will feature Carcosa in place of Netherwalker.
Reflecting on the milestone, guitarist Alex Wade said:
“We are excited to announce our 20th Anniversary Tour taking place this Fall. We would have never believed we would have made it 20 years after we started this band in 2006, but here we are celebrating it, and we are proud that we are undertaking our largest headline tour to date to commemorate that.
Joining us will be our friends who need no introduction, Chelsea Grin and The Acacia Strain, along with deathcore up-and-comers Netherwalker. We will be playing songs from our entire discography, no albums left out, so if you want to see us play our longest set in the biggest venues we’ve ever played, get your tickets now and don’t miss out!”
The anniversary tour follows the release of Hymns In Dissonance, Whitechapel’s latest studio album, released through Metal Blade Records. The record marked a return to the band’s most punishing roots while pushing their sound into even darker territory, earning widespread acclaim from the heavy music press and strong commercial success. Upon release, the album reached No. 2 on Billboard’s Current Hard Rock Albums chart, No. 3 on the Independent Label Current Albums chart, No. 4 on the Current Rock Albums chart, and No. 7 on the Digital Albums chart.
Fans looking for an enhanced concert experience can purchase exclusive VIP packages through Sound Rink, which include a general admission ticket, meet-and-greet and photo opportunity with the band, early venue entry, early merchandise access, and exclusive collectibles including a Whitechapel foam hand, signed poster, and commemorative VIP laminate.
Artist presales and VIP packages begin June 9, with additional presales running throughout the week ahead of the general public on-sale on June 12.
