Music fans are already bracing themselves for a heavy 2026.
A couple of weeks ago, we asked our readers to vote for the albums they’re most looking forward to this year. Naturally, we followed that up by asking the fans which tours they’re hoping to lose their minds at in 2026. As it turns out, there’s some crossover between the two.
From famously shocking freaks, to apocalyptic groove-metal gospelists, to a goth-spiked art-rock troupe that’s anything but normal — these are the five treks our readers are already lining up to see between now and December.
Lamb of God’s Into the Oblivion Tour
Times are tough, the situation is bleak, and we’re collectively headed towards the darkness. That’s the general framework of Lamb of God’s upcoming Into Oblivion, an album vocalist Randy Blythe notes is “about the ongoing and rapid breakdown of the social contract, particularly here in America.”
Despite this, music fans of all kinds are still relishing the thought of joining together to hail the Virginia metal icons during their upcoming spring tour — not to mention a murderer’s row of devastatingly heavy openers Kublai Khan TX, Fit for an Autopsy and Sanguisugabogg.
Bad Omens’ Do You Feel Love North America 2026 Tour
North American Bad Omens fans are more than ready to feel the love.
Next month, the pop-brooding metalcore expansionists will be heading out on the road for a 20-show stretch that should give the faithful an opportunity to catch old favorites and the round of rapturously received singles the group issued through the back half of 2025.
While many will be lining up to witness Noah Sebastian and the rest of the band in action, the trek also features Beartooth, and marks masked phenom PRESIDENT’s first extended tour around the U.S. and Canada.
Nine Inch Nails’ Peel It Back Tour 2026
Nine Inch Nails staged one of the most staggeringly awesome arena shows last year with their career-celebrating “Peel It Back” run — which bumped new tunes from their killer TRON:Ares soundtrack, brought Downward Spiral must-hears to a main stage, and included deep cuts and remixes via the satellite-stage live collab with Boys Noize.
If you missed out on the first leg, Trent Reznor and Co. are ready to run it back with another round of “Peel It Back” shows kicking off in February. For the NIN faithful, it’s a wish come true.
Puscifer’s Normal Isn’t Tour
Even if Puscifer hadn’t hopped into the comments this week to remind us about their upcoming tour with a casual “wave” emoji, it’d have been pretty evident that the group’s forthcoming Normal Isn’t trek would be one of the year’s most anticipated.
The band whetted our appetites for the tour last year when they played the then-untitled-and-unreleased LP at a a pair of intimate shows in L.A. — footage of which will soon be issued as Puscifer’s Live at the Pacific Stock Exchange concert film. By the first day of spring, they’ll finally be bringing their gothiest songs yet to the rest of us. Isn’t that going to be glorious?
Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson’s Freaks on Parade
The Twins of Evil are back, and you freaks are pretty excited about it.
Revolver readers came out in full force to lets us know that they’re dying to catch rock icons Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson’s co-headlining “Freaks on Parade” tour this summer, their first joint North American trip since the “Twins of Evil” run in 2019.
We know Zombie will be burning through Hellbilly hits and the fieriest tunes off his upcoming The Great Satan album, while Manson may well be bringing a batch of news songs to the stage if he delivers his heavily-anticipated One Assassination Under God – Chapter 2 before the tour kicks off in August.
One thing’s for sure: It’s going to be all kinds of freaky.
