ANVIL Sets Summer 2026 North American Tour Across U.S. And Canada

Canadian heavy metal veterans Anvil have confirmed a new run of North American tour dates scheduled for June and July 2026. The upcoming trek will see the long-running band return to stages across the United States and Canada, continuing their decades-long legacy as one of metal’s most enduring acts.

The tour is expected to hit a wide range of cities, bringing Anvil’s signature blend of classic speed metal and hard rock energy to both longtime fans and newer audiences. Known for their relentless touring ethic, the band has remained a consistent presence on the live circuit, regularly performing intimate club shows as well as festival appearances.

Frontman Steve “Lips” Kudlow and drummer Robb Reiner — the group’s core members since its formation — continue to lead Anvil with the same intensity that helped shape early heavy metal. Over the years, the band has maintained a reputation for high-energy performances and a deep catalog that spans decades.

This latest North American run follows a series of recent tours and recordings that have reaffirmed Anvil’s place in metal history. Often cited as an influence on major acts in the genre, the band continues to push forward while staying rooted in its classic sound.
