This summer, two of heavy music's most compelling forces are hitting the road for The Art Of Love And Power Tour, a co-headlining run that is set to be one of the most unmissable heavy tours of the year. Maryland alt-metal catalysts, Savage Hands, and Michigan metalcore outfit, Of Virtue, have today announced the 27-date North American trek, with tickets available for purchase HERE.
Kicking off on July 16 in Greensboro, NC and closing out on August 21 in Nashville, TN, The Art Of Love And Power Tour will see both bands trading headlining slots each night to give fans two high caliber sets under one roof. The first half of the tour will feature support from Set For Tomorrow, with Kingdom Collapse joining for the second half. Sorry X will also be supporting on all dates.
On hitting the road this summer for The Art Of Love And Power Tour, vocalist Mike Garrow of Savage Hands shares:
"We’re stoked to run our first co-headliner across the entire country with some of our greatest friends. You all have been asking for this and here it is."
Speaking on the band's excitement for The Art Of Love And Power Tour, vocalist Tyler Ennis of Of Virtue adds:
"Mikey and I have been friends going back to our days being on SharpTone together! We have always talked about touring together and the opportunity finally has presented itself. “The Art of Love & Power” is going to be a massive ripper and we’re so excited to have Kingdom Collapse, Set For Tomorrow and Sorry X along for this amazing journey!
You’ll be able to hear our newest singles Death of the Altar, The Art Of Love and a few more bangers from our newest record. This tour will be the last time some of your favorite songs off of Omen as well so grab your tickets and we can’t wait to see you this Summer!"
With over 55 million streams to their name, Savage Hands arrive at 2026 on the back of a landmark year, signing to Oxide Music, earning the largest crowd of their stage at Louder Than Life, and opening for heavyweights Attack Attack!. Guided by producers Andrew Baylis and Lee Rouse, the quintet have carved out a hybrid sound that dissolves the lines between post-hardcore, metalcore, and alternative rock, and with "POWER" leading the charge into 2026, the best is still to come.
Of Virtue arrive on the heels of one of their strongest years yet, with singles "Death Of The Altar" and "The Art Of Love", building on the momentum of their 2023 record, "OMEN", which has surpassed 65 million streams since its release. Long-standing advocates for mental health awareness, the band have shared stages with Slipknot, Bad Omens, Nothing More, and Three Days Grace, and have performed at festivals across 35 countries.
Be sure to stay tuned for more Savage Hands and Of Virtue news coming very soon.
