Poison the Well Announce Spring 2026 Tour with Converge
Poison the Well released the definitive album, The Opposite of December… A Season of Separation, in December 1999 and it went on to become a benchmark of the genre that has inspired a generation of bands. Its influence is indisputable. But the band is not content to rest on the laurels of its past achievements, as mighty as those achievements are.
PTW are thrilled to announce their Spring 2026 headline tour. Converge will support with Balmora, SPY, The Armed, and The Barbarians of California appearing on different segments. Tickets and more information is available here. Peace In Place, their first album in 16 years, will arrive via SharpTone Records on March 20. Pre-order it here.

About Poison The Well:
In the space of barely a breath, Poison the Well pacify fits of jarring brutality with moments of fragile beauty. Their unmistakable melodic hardcore gently dilutes the effects of trauma, betrayal, depression, and loss with hard-won wisdom and diligently earned self-acceptance. For as much force as they commit to the riffs and the breakdowns, there’s an equal amount of naked emotion encoded in their relatable hooks. At this point, they are unassumingly, yet undeniably embedded in the DNA of modern metal and hardcore.
Poison The Well’s 1999 debut, The Opposite of December… A Season of Separation has claimed spots on BrooklynVegan’s 15 ’90s Metalcore Albums That Still Resonate Today; KERRANG!’s 21 Best US Metalcore Albums of All Time; Loudwire’s 25 Best Metalcore Albums of All Time; and Revolver’s 10 Most Influential Metalcore Albums of All Time. Stereogumput it best, “The Opposite of December… A Season of Separation influenced a whole generation of metalcore bands.” Meanwhile, 2003’s You Come Before You remains regarded among Metal Hammer‘s 100 Greatest Metal Albums of the 21st Century and Rock Sound’s 250 Greatest Albums of Our Lifetime. Despite going on hiatus following 2009’s The Tropic Rot, the group’s influence has only expanded over the years (as evidenced by over 100 million streams across their catalog).
After touring in 2015 and 2021, they’ve commemorated milestone birthdays of both You Come Before You and The Opposite of December… with in-demand headline jaunts. Once again, the members felt an intense need to create as a unit. Rallying together, the guys channeled the spirit of their most celebrated material through a prism of new experience on their sixth full-length offering, Peace In Place.
