First Headliner in 3 Years: Motionless In White Unveils "The Sweat And Blood Tour" for Summer 2026
Motionless In White has officially announced a major headlining trek for the summer of 2026, titled "The Sweat And Blood Tour". This marks the band's first headlining run across the United States in nearly three years, a significant return for the Scranton-based metalcore veterans.
Joining the tour as special guests are Lorna Shore, Fit For A King, and Static Dress, making for a heavy and diverse lineup. Tour Highlights and Milestone Venues
The tour is set to kick off on July 14, 2026, in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and will travel across the country before concluding in Sterling Heights, Michigan, on August 15.
A major milestone for the group is included in this itinerary: their first-ever headlining performance at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, on August 9.
"By the time this tour begins, it will have been just under three years since our last U.S. headliner, and we are absolutely shooting for the moon to celebrate our return," the band shared in a statement. They also confirmed that fans can expect the first live performances of material from their highly anticipated upcoming album. New Music and 20th Anniversary
The tour announcement follows the release of their newest single, "Afraid Of The Dark," which debuted last month alongside an official music video. Vocalist Chris Motionless described the track as a reflection of the band's 20-year journey, inspired by the early struggles they faced when they first hit the road in a tour van two decades ago.
"Nothing was ever going to stop us," Chris noted, emphasizing that the same fire that drove them in their early days is still burning as they celebrate this 20-year landmark.
