Diesel Boy Expands 2026 Cock Rock 30th Anniversary Tour
After a high-energy first run of their Cock Rock 30th anniversary shows, Diesel Boy are gearing up for the next leg of their 2026 touring plans. The band will return to the road in July for a series of US and Canadian dates, that include shows with Fenix TX before joining Mad Caddies for a week of West Coast and Mountain West shows in September. Additional winter dates are still to be announced. Check out Diesel Boy performing “Cock Rock” on their recent City Bridge Sessions here, and listen to Cock Rock here.
Frontman Diesel Dave reflects, “Thank you to everyone who came out, sang their faces off, and told us their stories during our first run of Cock Rock anniversary shows. We had such a great time, and the shows were all really special. Our backs may be sore, but our hearts are full. The good news is we have plenty of time to rest up before we start the next run of dates, and we can’t wait to get back out there. If we’re coming to your town, don’t miss these. We may never do this again!”
The July dates will once again feature Cock Rock performed in its entirety, along with fan favorites and deep cuts spanning the band’s catalog. The September run finds Diesel Boy teaming up with fellow California ska-punk veterans Mad Caddies for seven shows across the West Coast, Mountain West, and Rockies.
Originally formed in Northern California, Diesel Boy became fixtures of the punk scene through their releases on Honest Don’s Records, the Fat Wreck Chords imprint that launched Cock Rock in 1996. After more than two decades away, the band returned in 2023 with Gets Old, earning some of the strongest reviews of their career and reigniting their touring momentum across the US and Europe.
Now, three decades after their debut, Diesel Boy are reconnecting with longtime fans and introducing a new generation to their signature blend of melody, sarcasm, and high-energy punk rock.
