Zakk Wylde has brought his BERZERKUS festival back for 2026, and he and Black Label Society will be rolling deep with a heavy lineup that also includes Lamb of God, Down, Suicidal Tendencies and more.
A press release confirms that Wylde will be hosting two installments of the fest this summer, one at Scranton, Pennsylvania’s Pavilion at Montage Mountain on August 28th, and then again the following day at Jones Beach in Wantagh, New York. These will be the first BERZERKUS shows since Wylde debuted the fest in 2024.
Both concerts will feature Lamb of God in the headlining slot, plus Wylde’s Black Label Society, NOLA supergroup Down and crossover-thrash icons Suicidal Tendencies, while Fan Halen, Bonfire and Use Your Illusion will be on the bill in Scranton. Like BLS’ recent tours, the shows will also find the eternal Doom Crew joined by two Wylde-adjacent acts: Dark Chapel (led by BLS guitarist Dario Lorina) and Wylde’s Zakk Sabbath cover band.
Beyond this, BERZERKUS will host a battle of the bands in Scranton, while both events will have a car show, a Dimebag Darrell-celebrating “Ride for Dime,” a strongman competition, a hot sauce eating challenge and more.
Pre-sales for both events begin today (May 5th) at 12 p.m. ET, while general tickets and VIP packages are available by Friday (May 8th). You’ll find more info over on the Berzerkus website.
As previously reported, BLS also have a handful of May dates coming up around the U.S., including a launch show for Slaughter to Prevail vocalist Alex Terrible’s new Blood4Blood bare-knuckle boxing promotion, and an appearance at Sonic Temple.
They then mount another headline tour with Dark Chapel and Zakk Sabbath in August to support their recent Engines of Demolition LP. That late summer run, which begins at Albany, New York’s Palace Theatre on August 25th, obviously now includes the BERZERKUS dates.

Wylde also stars on the cover of Revolver‘s recent Spring 2026 issue, which you can pick up in Revolver’s shop.
