Napalm Death need no warm-up. After four decades of relentless grindcore, the Birmingham legends remain one of the most ferocious live acts on the planet, and they are bringing that full force to North America this spring. The run is a proper coast-to-coast tear, opening at Welcome to Rockville in Daytona Beach and closing June 14 in Vancouver at The Pearl, with stops at Maryland Deathfest, Sonic Temple, and a string of club dates that will leave venues shaken.
The lineup adds serious weight beyond the headliners. Deadguy joins for a stretch of dates through the eastern run, while Primitive Man locks in for the back half from New York through Vancouver. Boston gets a particularly loaded night, with Acid Bath and Pig Destroyer joining the bill at Roadrunner. Quebec City gets Pig Destroyer as well. These are not casual additions.
Napalm Death have spent decades proving that grindcore at its most precise and punishing is also grindcore at its most political and purposeful. Their catalog remains a benchmark, and their live show hits harder than most acts half their age. The energy is controlled fury, every performance a reminder of why this band still matters.
The Canadian leg runs deep, touching Moncton, Halifax, Fredericton, Montreal, Toronto, Waterloo, London, Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Edmonton, and Calgary before the Vancouver finale. For fans in smaller markets, this is a rare and significant opportunity. Tickets are on sale now.
