Corrosion of Conformity and The Sword have announced a co-headlining fall 2026 US metal tour, with support from heavy psych band Hippie Death Cult. The run kicks off Nov. 2 in Buffalo, New York, passing through St. Louis, Indianapolis and Cincinnati before wrapping Nov. 19 in Pensacola, Florida.
"Well well well... to all the free thinkers and beer drinkers, the Corrosion train won't stop," Corrosion of Conformity vocalist and guitarist Pepper Keenan said of the tour. "Gonna be ripping with The Sword and Hippie Death Cult. See ya on the horizon."
Corrosion of Conformity is touring in support of Good God/Baad Man, its double album released in April via Nuclear Blast, whose lead single "Gimme Some More" earned an honorable mention for Heavy Song of the Week from Consequence. The Sword, meanwhile, is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its 2006 debut, Age of Winters, and will wrap a current West Coast run with Red Fang before the co-headlining trek begins.
A presale using the code COC2026 is underway via Ticketmaster, with general tickets going on sale Friday, Aug. 28, at 10 a.m. local time through Corrosion of Conformity's website.
The tour is tracked in full on the tour guide and includes stops at Asbury Lanes in Asbury Park, New Jersey; The Vogue in Indianapolis; and Workplay in Birmingham, Alabama, along with a Corrosion of Conformity-only date at North Carolina's Port City Blitz Festival on Nov. 7.
