According to Blabbermouth, Eyehategod and Crowbar have announced a shared run of U.S. tour dates scheduled for spring 2026, bringing two of New Orleans’ most enduring heavy bands back on the road together. The tour is set to run from mid March through mid April and will span much of the country, offering fans multiple chances to see both groups in an intimate club setting.
The tour opens March 19 in Baton Rouge before heading west through Texas and the Southwest. From there, the bands will make their way up the West Coast with stops in California, Oregon and Washington, then cut back through the Midwest and South. The final show takes place April 18 in New Orleans at Tipitina’s, a meaningful hometown closing date for both acts.
This pairing makes sense not just geographically but musically. Eyehategod and Crowbar helped shape the sludge metal sound through different but complementary approaches. Eyehategod lean into noise, abrasion and punk rooted chaos, while Crowbar’s music is heavier and more deliberate, built on massive riffs and emotional weight. Seeing both bands on the same bill highlights the range and depth of the scene they helped define.
The tour also follows a stretch of renewed activity for both groups, with recent live performances reminding audiences just how physical and intense their shows remain. These dates are likely to draw longtime fans as well as newer listeners curious to experience two foundational bands in a live setting. For anyone invested in heavy music with real history behind it, this spring tour stands out as more than a nostalgia run. It is a rare chance to see two still vital bands sharing the stage, playing loud and unapologetic music on their own terms.
