Australian grind icons KING PARROT will serve as the opening act for all dates.
Max Cavalera states, "I can’t wait for Soulfly to storm the gates with Gwar!! I’m excited to be part of one of the coolest tours of 2026! Soulfly bringing the Chama tribal energy and Gwar, the ultimate theatrical madness band! I have been a fan of Gwar for a long time. It will be an honor to support them! Come on out and party with us every night!!"
GWAR's lead vocalist The Berserker Blothar states, “GWAR, Soulfly and King Parrot. This tour will be a ritual orgy of death, sex, violence and rock and fu**ing roll!! Let the severed heads rain, bouncing down the pyramid onto a heap of human skulls. Be there humans, or be left to suffer on this planet while we party in the stars!”
