Danzig has announced a new North American tour set for September, marking the band’s next major live run while Glenn Danzig says new albums are unlikely for now. The heavy metal group, led by Danzig and rounded out by guitarist Tommy Victor, bassist Steve Zing and drummer Karl Rosqvist, revealed the dates in an Instagram post and promised more tour details, including venue information, supporting acts and on-sale dates, to be announced later in the week.
The tour begins with two nights in Texas before moving through Louisiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, another Texas date and a final stop in California. The currently listed schedule includes San Antonio on Sept. 11, Houston on Sept. 12, New Orleans on Sept. 14, Louisville, Kentucky, on Sept. 17 as part of Louder Than Life, Nashville on Sept. 18, Grande Prairie, Texas, on Sept. 20 and Anaheim, California, on Sept. 26. Danzig also confirmed that Twin Temple, the duo known for its “Satanic Doo-Wop” style, will serve as the main support act for all shows. The band teased that additional “special guest” performers will be added to the bill, but did not reveal those names.
The announcement comes as Danzig continues to focus on live performances rather than new studio material. In a recent interview with KOMP 92.3 FM, Glenn Danzig said he does not currently have enough to say musically to justify recording a new album. He explained that he tends to enter the studio only when he has something meaningful to say and suggested that the economics of making records have become difficult in an era dominated by downloading and streaming.
Danzig said he believes it is no longer easy to make money from recording unless there is a strong creative reason to do it. He also rejected the idea of making a low-budget, home-recorded project, saying he would not do a “Pro Tools” album made in someone’s living room. While he did not completely rule out future recordings, he indicated that any new music would depend on whether the band eventually has enough material and whether the project makes sense artistically and financially.
The band’s last studio release was 2020’s Danzig Sings Elvis, a tribute album of Elvis Presley covers. That project marked a stylistic departure and was released after a long gap between original Danzig records. For now, however, the group appears to be prioritizing touring, with September’s North American dates giving fans a chance to see Glenn Danzig and his band back on stage across multiple U.S. cities.
The tour rollout has generated fresh interest among longtime fans, especially because the band has left part of the lineup announcement intentionally unfinished. With venues, on-sale dates and additional support acts still pending, Danzig is building anticipation ahead of what it is calling its 2026 North America Tour.
