Canadian rock outfit Danko Jones has unveiled the music video for “I Love It Louder” alongside a comprehensive schedule for the “Rising Tour 2026”. This announcement follows the release of their twelfth studio album, ‘Leo Rising’, through PERCEPTION and Sonic Unyon. The record stands as their most electrifying and uplifting work, designed to energize venues across Europe and the United Kingdom. The fall tour begins October 12 in Potsdam and continues through November 7.
The upcoming dates feature support from Split Dogs for the majority of the run, while Los Pepes join the tour for the final United Kingdom performances. Danko Jones expresses significant momentum regarding the new material and the return to the stage. “Our new album, Leo Rising, is just too fun to play live for us to stop,” the band states. They emphasize the importance of securing tickets early, noting the sold-out status of their previous fall appearances. Every night on the itinerary focuses on the high-impact energy that has defined the trio’s two-decade career.
The tour covers a broad geographic range (including dates in Austria, Hungary, Romania, and the Netherlands). The production for these shows centers on the raw, driving power of the new tracks combined with established fan favorites. This schedule represents a significant commitment to the band’s international audience. The inclusion of specialized support acts like Split Dogs adds a layer of curated intensity to the bill. By targeting both major markets and regional hubs, the group ensures maximum reach for this album cycle.
The “Rising Tour 2026” serves as a primary celebration of the band’s continued relevance in the hard rock genre. Fans can claim tickets immediately to witness the live translation of “I Love It Louder” and other highlights from ‘Leo Rising’. The transition from the studio to the stage remains a priority for the band as they prepare for the October kickoff. Each performance provides an immersive look at the group’s current creative peak. The momentum from the record release carries directly into this ambitious autumn schedule.
