The Chaos & Carnage tour is looking to get extra extreme in 2025. The traveling festival has announced its sixth edition will be headlined by two icons of extremity: Maryland metal trio Dying Fetus and UK black-metal veterans Cradle of Filth.
Tour dates for the 2025 Chaos & Carnage were unveiled today (December 16th), and organizers confirmed that Dying Fetus and Cradle of Filth will be joined by Fleshgod Apocalypse, Ne Obliviscaris, Undeath, Vomit Forth, and Corpse Pile.
“This is one of the most insane lineups—we can’t wait to see you out at the shows for this one,” Dying Fetus wrote on Instagram.
The next instalment is set to begin April 17th at Berkeley, CA’s UC Theatre. It wraps just under a month later at Denver, Colorado’s Fillmore Auditorium on May 14th. Tickets go on sale this Friday (December 20th), but a press release notes that VIP upgrade options will be made available on January 6th.
You can find our more info over on the Chaos & Carnage site, while the tour route can be found below.
Dying Fetus’ last full-length release was 2023’s devastating Make Them Beg for Death, while Cradle of Filth most recently hit us with their “witching season”-themed “Malignant Perfection.”
