Malevolence Announce 2026 Spring Tour Dates with Guilt Trip
This spring, UK heavyweights Malevolence and Guilt Trip are crossing the Atlantic to co-headline the 2026 United Kingdom Metal and Hardcore Across North America 2026 tour. The journey begins March 31st in Detroit and spans 17 dates, including stops in Nashville, Houston, and two exclusive Canadian shows. The tour concludes in Milwaukee on April 23rd, with Chamber set to provide support for the entire run.
Malevolence comment, “Where to begin! Our first ever proper US headline tour after all these years and it is only right to be sharing the stage every night with some of our closest friends in the game, Guilt Trip from Manchester. With both bands proudly flying the flag not only for UK metal and hardcore, but also more specifically, the North Of England.
“Our relationship with Guilt Trip is very well documented – from numerous tours together, collaborating on music & even helping to release their last record, it feels extremely fitting to be venturing onto foreign shores side by side for a big, bad co-headline debut. In our opinion, a true demonstration to the American people of what real northern UK heavy music has to offer. We strongly advise you don’t miss this shit.”
“We’re so excited to return to the States with our good friends in Malevolence,” states Guilt Trip vocalist Jay Valentine. “It feels great to come back so soon and share a headlining slot with our UK brothers. After just one run, North America already feels like a second home to us, and we can’t wait to see you all again!”

About Malevolence:
Malevolence have never waited for permission. From the underground to festival main stages, they’ve built their reputation on sheer force of will, crushing live shows, and an unshakable foundation of heavy riffs and harder work. Now, with their fourth studio album, Where Only The Truth Is Spoken, Sheffield’s finest step into a new league.
Recorded in California at Dave Grohl’s legendary Studio 606, the album was tracked through the iconic Neve 8078 console, the same desk that captured game-changing records like Nirvana’s Nevermind, Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours, and Tom Petty’s Wildflowers. For a band that’s always pushed forward without compromise, it was the perfect setting to carve out a record that represents everything Malevolence stands for. The album marks a new level of songwriting precision without sacrificing the band’s trademark weight. Working alongside Grammy Award-winning producer Josh Wilbur (Lamb of God, Gojira, Trivium), the result is Malevolence at their most punishing, urgent, and anthemic.
Lyrically, Where Only The Truth Is Spoken reflects the principles that Malevolence have lived by since day one — honesty, loyalty, and integrity. These are not just themes woven into the album, but values the band holds in their personal and professional lives. This record doesn’t deal in facades or empty gestures; it’s an unfiltered expression of the struggles, victories, and unshakable brotherhood that have carried them this far.
