What's Happening?
Five Finger Death Punch has announced a major North American tour as part of their 20th-anniversary celebrations. The tour, produced by Live Nation, will cover 48 cities, starting on July 20, 2026, in Camden, New Jersey, and concluding on October 23, 2026, in Bristow, Virginia. The band will be joined by special guest Cody Jinks, promoting his album 'In My Blood', and EVA UNDER FIRE, who will release a new album titled 'Villainous' in 2026. In addition to celebrating their musical journey, Five Finger Death Punch is using this tour to support U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes. A portion of the ticket sales will be donated to high-performance programs for U.S. athletes, aiding their preparation for international competitions. Founding guitarist
Zoltan Bathory and vocalist Ivan Moody have chosen USA Judo and USA Cycling BMX teams, respectively, as beneficiaries of their contributions.
Why It's Important?
This tour is significant not only for its musical impact but also for its philanthropic efforts. By supporting U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes, Five Finger Death Punch is addressing a critical funding gap, as the U.S. government does not provide direct financial support for these athletes. This initiative highlights the band's commitment to giving back and supporting national pride, especially with the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games set to take place in Los Angeles. The tour also underscores the band's influence in the rock music scene, as they continue to engage with fans while promoting charitable causes. This approach could inspire other artists to integrate philanthropy into their tours, potentially leading to increased support for various social causes.
What's Next?
Tickets for the tour will be available through various presales starting January 14, 2026, with general sales beginning on January 16, 2026. As the tour progresses, it is expected to generate significant attention both for its musical performances and its charitable contributions. The band's support for Team USA could lead to increased awareness and funding for Olympic and Paralympic athletes, potentially influencing other artists and organizations to contribute to similar causes. Additionally, the tour will likely set the stage for the release of new music from Five Finger Death Punch, further solidifying their legacy in the rock genre.
