Aussie post-hardcore veterans the Amity Affliction and metalcore pros August Burns Red are joining forces in 2026, with the two acts having just announced a co-headline tour set to cross North America in the spring.
The two bands’ “Spring Horizons Tour” launches April 10th at the Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts, heads out west to California, and then ricochets backs to the east coast for a tour closer at the Fillmore in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on May 17th.
Apparently, the joint venture has been a long time coming.
“We’ve been talking in the background about touring with August Burns Red for years at this point,” Amity Affliction vocalistJoel Birch explained in a statement. “It’s so awesome that it’s finally happening. We can’t wait to get back to our second home and bring what we feel will be one of the best tours we’ve been a part of to all the cities we’re hitting.”
“We’re pumped to be joining forces with the Amity Affliction for what’s sure to be the can’t miss metal tour of the spring,” August Burns Red added in a group statement, which also noted that they will be “debuting a few brand new songs and bringing the shred.”
The trip will find the acts joined by Connecticut crushers Boundaries and HEAVENSGATE on most dates. Amity Affliction and August Burns Red will also splinter off from the club-and-hall tour to perform at Columbus, Ohio’s Sonic Temple festival on May 16th.
