Get ready to mark your calendars, metalheads! The Amity Affliction, August Burns Red, Boundaries, and Heavensgate are joining forces for a massive North American tour in 2026! This is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated metal events of the year.
The tour is scheduled to launch on April 10th in Worcester, MA, and will rampage across the continent, concluding on May 17th in Philadelphia, PA.
The Amity Affliction's Joel Birch shared his excitement: "We've been talking in the background about touring with August Burns Red for years at this point. It's so awesome that it's finally happening. We can't wait to get back to our second home and bring what we feel will be one of the best tours we've been a part of to all the cities we're hitting. The lineup is amazing, the venues are amazing, and we couldn't be more hyped for it — see you there."
August Burns Red chimed in, adding to the anticipation: "We're pumped to be joining forces with The Amity Affliction for what's sure to be the can’t miss metal tour of the spring. ABR will be debuting a few brand new songs and bringing the shred alongside Boundaries, Heavensgate, and Dreamwake. We'll see you all this April and May for the Spring Horizons Tour!"
