Crowbar & Eyehategod Announce Devastating Spring 2026 U.S. Co-Headlining Tour

Two of the most important names in American sludge metal are once again joining forces. Crowbar and Eyehategod have announced a co-headlining U.S. tour for spring 2026 - a month-long stretch that promises zero compromise, zero polish, and maximum heaviness.

The tour kicks off March 19 at Chelsea’s Live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and fittingly comes to a close on April 18 at Tipitina’s in New Orleans, bringing the sound back to the city where sludge metal was forged in sweat, feedback, and sheer willpower.

Spanning nearly 30 dates, the trek will hit underground strongholds and key markets across the United States, delivering nightly doses of crushing riffs, hostile atmospheres, and emotionally raw performances. One notable exception comes on March 28 in Los Angeles, where Eyehategod will perform solo as part of C.Y. Fest at the Belasco.

The tour also features a particularly historic stop on April 17 in Atlanta, where Crowbar and Eyehategod will share the stage with Acid Bath, making it one of the most anticipated sludge lineups in recent memory.

Crowbar: Still Carrying the Weight

Crowbar will be touring in support of their most recent studio album, Zero And Below, released in April 2022 via MNRK Heavy. Produced, mixed, and mastered by Duane Simoneaux at OCD Recording in Louisiana, the album marked the band’s most unforgiving and doom-driven release since 1998’s Odd Fellows Rest.

Led by Kirk Windstein, alongside Matt Brunson, Shane Wesley, and Tommy Buckley, tracks like “Chemical Godz,” “It’s Always Worth The Gain,” and “Bleeding From Every Hole” showcase Crowbar at their most emotionally exposed and sonically punishing - slow, deliberate, and absolutely crushing.

Windstein has previously described the record as one of the few Crowbar albums where he felt fully satisfied with every element, from guitar tones to lyrics, calling it a modern but deeply rooted statement of the band’s identity.

Eyehategod: Slow Burn, No Rush

Meanwhile, Eyehategod continue to operate on their own terms. Their latest album, A History Of Nomadic Behavior, arrived in 2021 via Century Media Records and followed years of relentless touring, personal upheaval, and vocalist Mike IX Williams’s recovery from liver failure and transplant.

Williams has confirmed that new material is being written, though true to Eyehategod’s nature, nothing is being rushed. The band’s philosophy remains unchanged: sit with the songs, live with them, and only commit once they feel inevitable.

Seminal releases like In the Name of Suffering (1990) and Take As Needed for Pain (1993) continue to define the American sludge blueprint, alongside Crowbar, Acid Bath, and Buzzov*en - a lineage that this tour proudly reinforces.

For fans of uncompromising heaviness, shared history, and music born from real struggle, this isn’t just another tour. It’s sludge metal reaffirming its existence.
