DEATH ANGEL have announced a 28-date headline tour across the United States in June 2026, running from June 3 in Anaheim, California through June 29 in San Francisco — ending where the tour began, in the Bay Area birthplace of both the band and the thrash metal genre they helped define. The tour is billed as the most comprehensive DEATH ANGEL US headline run in over a decade, covering markets that have rarely seen the band in a headline capacity in recent years.
The band will perform sets drawn from across their catalog with particular emphasis on "Humanicide" (2019) and their influential early records "The Ultra-Violence" (1987) and "Frolic Through the Park" (1988). Vocalist Mark Osegueda, who has fronted DEATH ANGEL since their formation in 1982, confirmed in a statement that the setlist will be longer than usual — running approximately 90 minutes — and will include several deep cuts that the band rarely performs live. "We want to give fans a real DEATH ANGEL experience," Osegueda said. "Not just the hits, but songs that we know our dedicated fans have been waiting to hear."
Support acts for the US run include WARBRINGER and ARTILLERY, providing a strong thrash metal supporting package. DEATH ANGEL have also hinted that a new studio album — their follow-up to "Humanicide" — may be announced before or during the summer tour, with recording sessions reportedly underway in the Bay Area. The band last released new material on the 2022 standalone single "Father of Lies," which demonstrated a heavier, more aggressive direction that has fans anticipating a significant artistic statement for the forthcoming full-length.
