Soulfly To Join Gwar For Spring North American Tour

By: Philip Sayblack

Soulfly will join Gwar for a North American tour in early 2026.
The announcement was made Monday in a news release. According to information provided in the document, the “Gor-Gor Strikes Back Tour” is scheduled to kick off March 19 in Richmond, VA and to run through Apr. 29 in Charlotte, NC. It includes stops in cities, such as Columbus, OH; Green Bay, WI and San Diego, CA. King Parrot will also join the tour as special guest alongside Soulfly.
Soulfly founder and front man Max Cavalera said in a prepared statement, he was looking forward to the upcoming tour.
“I can’t wait for Soulfly to storm the gates with Gwar!!,” said Cavalera.  “I’m excited to be part of one of the coolest tours of 2026!  “Soulfly bringing the Chama tribal energy and Gwar, the ultimate theatrical madness band! I have been a fan of Gwar for a long time. It will be an honor to support them! Come on out and party with us every night!!”
The Berserker Blothar, Gwar’s vocalist, shared Cavalera’s sentiment.
“GWAR, Soulfly and King Parrot. This tour will be a ritual orgy of death, sex, violence and rock and fu**ing roll!!,” said Blothar. “Let the severed heads rain, bouncing down the pyramid onto a heap of human skulls. Be there humans, or be left to suffer on this planet while we party in the stars!”
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. local time Friday. The tour’s schedule is noted below:
