BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. ANNOUNCE MASSIVE FALL 2026 NORTH AMERICAN HEADLINE TOUR

Southern California hardcore wrecking crew BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. will be loading up their rig this fall for a colossal North American headline tour featuring special guests CHAMBER, MUGSHOT, LOAD THA NINE, SURFACED, RESTRICTOR PLATE and LIE. Tickets will be available to the public on Friday, August 21st at 10:00AM Local Time at BIGASSTRUCKIE.COM.

Commenting on the upcoming run, vocalist Abel Abarca says:

We’re super stoked to hit the road this fall for our record release headliner with our homies in Chamber and Mugshot, many friends will be made and many pits will be moshed. Come through and do a backflip, this might be the biggest tour ever conceived.

The upcoming run will see BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. hauling their high-octane brand of hardcore across the U.S. and Canada, bringing a rotating cast of some of the scene’s most punishing up-and-coming bands along for the ride as well as performances at Warped Tour dates and Furnace Fest. The tour follows a relentless year on the road for the Inland Empire crew, who have been steadily building a reputation for chaotic, no-holds-barred live shows.

The band recently unleashed their latest single, “PUSHED BEYOND THE BRINK,” via Nuclear Blast Records. A full-throttle follow-up to 2025’s pit anthem “BACK WHEEL STOMP,” the track delivers another dose of BIG ASS TRUCK I.E.’s signature combination of massive riffs, crushing breakdowns and pure vehicular mayhem.

BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. RELEASES NEW SINGLE 'PUSHED BEYOND THE BRINK’

Breakout hardcore wrecking crew BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. have returned with a brutal new single, ‘PUSHED BEYOND THE BRINK,’ out now via Nuclear Blast Records.

BIG ASS TRUCK I.E.’s eagerly awaited follow-up to late 2025’s pit anthem “BACK WHEEL STOMP,” is the sound of pure mayhem; a runaway freightliner as it barrels through earholes on a path of sonic destruction.

Commenting on the track the band says:

We’re super stoked for this track! This idea had been in the tank for a while and we were all very excited to finally bring it to fruition. The KILLDOZER is a legendary vehicle/event and id like to think we did it justice in showing how maniacal that whole situation was/is. We’re hoping this track can resonate with anyone else who feels life is just punching down on you everyday.

BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. is currently en route through Europe delivering their ferocious music to the masses with BODYSNATCHER and PSYCHO FRAME.

BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. HITCHES THEIR HARDCORE RIG TO NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS

The Inland Empire, a lovely area just east of Los Angeles and Orange Counties in Southern California known as much for its great weather and beautiful deserts as its devastating wildfires and  threatening faultlines, is now the epicenter for one of hardcore music’s biggest breakouts, BIG ASS TRUCK I.E.

Over the last year, the five-piece wrecking crew has slayed the scene faster than the Green Goblin big rig from “Maximum Overdrive.” Armed with only a demo and a couple of singles, BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. have managed to dominate the pit with their reckless brand of cataclysmic hardcore at shows with TERROR, COMEBACK KID and STICK TO YOUR GUNS and performances at Welcome To Rockville, LDB Fest, Sound & Fury, Warped Tour and Inkcarceration to name a few.

 Nuclear Blast Records is proud to announce the signing of the Truck, who’ve just dropped a rampaging new track/video called ‘BACK-WHEEL STOMP.’

Commenting on the signing and single the band states:

We’re super stoked to be on Nuclear Blast! They’re such a legendary label that a lot of our influences have been a part of so it’s also a wild full circle moment for all of us to be involved like this! ‘BACK-WHEEL STOMP’ is one of our heaviest songs we’ve made and it’s just the beginning of what we’re ready to unleash with Nuclear Blast.

Label Manager and Head of A&R for Nuclear Blast America, Tommy Jones, adds:

Whatcha gonna do when THE TRUCK runs wild on you?!?

BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. are currently on tour, performing at Louder Than Life Festival today, followed by headline dates, appearances at New England Metal & Hardcore Festival, Riot Fest and Furnace Fest and a tour with CHIODOS and HAWTHORNE HEIGHTS in November.
