Dethklok Announces Spring 2026 U.S. Headlining Tour Dates

The world’s most famous fictional melodic death metal band, Dethklok, is returning to the stage for a series of headlining U.S. tour dates in Spring 2026. The trek is set to kick off on April 7 in Riverside, California, and will run through early May, hitting major markets including Chicago, Detroit, and New York City. This new run of shows follows the band's massive "Mutilation on a Spring Night" tour and continues the momentum generated by their recent feature film and accompanying soundtrack.

Brendon Small, the co-creator of Metalocalypse and the mastermind behind the band's music, expressed his excitement about returning to the road, promising a high-intensity show featuring "the most brutal" cuts from the Dethklok catalog. Fans can expect the signature synchronized animation and heavy-hitting live performances that have made the group a cult phenomenon. Joining them for the duration of the tour will be special guests DragonForce and Nekrogoblikon, making for a diverse and high-energy metal lineup.

Tickets for the newly announced dates will go on sale to the general public this Friday, February 20, at 10 a.m. local time. Various artist and venue presales are scheduled to begin as early as Wednesday, February 18. Given the band's track record of sold-out performances, fans are encouraged to secure their spots early for what is being billed as one of the most unique touring packages of the year.
