BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME have announced a massive 31-date U.S. headline tour running May 15 through June 20, their most extensive North American routing since the release of "The Blue Nowhere" in September 2025. The trek launches in Richmond, Virginia — the band's hometown — and wraps in Winston Salem, North Carolina, with rotating support from an eclectic lineup that includes IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT, FALLUJAH, THANK YOU SCIENTIST, and THE WORLD IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE & I AM NO LONGER AFRAID TO DIE.
General tickets go on sale February 27, with VIP packages and presale options available through the band's website. The tour supports "The Blue Nowhere," BTBAM's acclaimed 2025 album that marked the band's first release without guitarist Dustie Waring in twenty years. Paul Waggoner recorded all guitar tracks on the album, and the resulting sound maintained BTBAM's progressive complexity while exploring new orchestral and atmospheric territories with extensive string and horn sections.
The rotating support lineup is noteworthy for its stylistic diversity. IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT bring avant-garde black metal chaos, FALLUJAH offer technical death metal precision, THANK YOU SCIENTIST deliver progressive jazz-rock virtuosity, and THE WORLD IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE add post-rock emotional depth. Together, these acts represent the broad spectrum of forward-thinking heavy music that BTBAM have always championed.
BTBAM are currently in the midst of their UK and European tour throughout February, where they have been performing "The Blue Nowhere" material alongside fan favorites spanning their two-decade career. The band's live shows remain a masterclass in controlled chaos, with Tommy Rogers' ability to shift between death growls, clean singing, and screaming remaining one of progressive metal's most impressive vocal performances. The May-June dates promise to be a definitive statement from one of the genre's most important acts.
