HAVOK to Launch 26-Date North American Tour Oct 21–Nov 20, 2026
Hellripper will make its first US touring appearance as part of the trek supporting HAVOK's new BLKIIBLK single.
Thrash metal band HAVOK has announced a North American headline tour for Fall 2026, joined by Hellripper, Slackjaw and Xoth. The 26-date run kicks off October 21st at Metro Music Hall in Salt Lake City, UT, before crossing the United States and concluding with a hometown show at Denver's Gothic Theatre on November 20th.
The stacked package brings together four distinct forces in contemporary heavy music, with HAVOK leading a night of thrash, speed and extreme metal.
The tour announcement follows a new chapter for HAVOK, who recently signed with BLKIIBLK, the heavy music imprint of Frontiers Label Group, debuting on the label with the new single, 'Fifth Generation Warfare.'
Tickets go on sale Friday at 10:00 AM local time.
The band comments: 'We're thrilled to bring this killer package to The States and end the run in HAVOK's hometown. This will be Hellripper's first time touring the USA, so you won't want to miss this. Slackjaw and Xoth will get the party started properly. We can't wait to see everyone on the road. Buy your tickets early!'

HAVOK possess an airtight grasp on the fundamentals of thrash, enabling them to usher the genre into the fire of the future. The Colorado quartet lock and load throat-slicing guitars with breakneck rhythms and venomously vitriolic vocals. After piling up tens of millions of streams and earning acclaim from Metal Hammer, Loudwire, Consequence of Sound, and many more, the band ignited their first independent release, the 'New Eyes' EP, in 2024.
HAVOK have never stopped pushing forward without apology. Thus far, they've unleashed a series of fan favorite albums, including 'Burn' [2009], 'Time Is Up' [2011], 'Unnatural Selection' [2013], 'Conformicide' [2017], and 'V' [2020]. The latter represented a critical high watermark with Metal Hammer proclaiming, 'HAVOK have nailed 21st century thrash.' Along the way, the group also lit up stages on tour around the world with the likes of Megadeth, Anthrax, Suicidal Tendencies, Testament, Killswitch Engage, Exodus, Sepultura, Kreator, Children Of Bodom, and many more.
Kickstarting this next era with worldwide touring and new music coming in 2026, HAVOK has enabled itself to move at a prolific pace.
