Lamb of God: https://lamb-of-god.com — Lamb of God headlines the “Heaviest Tour of 2026” with a stop at Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek in Raleigh on 4/16/26. Critics categorize their music as groove metal rooted in the New Wave of American Heavy Metal movement, with notable metalcore and thrash metal elements derived from their early years; their sound is marked by precise riff construction, aggressive timing shifts and a visceral vocal delivery. Their recent singles “Sepsis” and “Parasocial Christ” (2025) represent the band’s first original output since their Omens album and have been described as “relentless” and “bone-breakers”. The tour spans dozens of North American dates across major markets and includes Canadian venues, bringing both legacy material and new tracks into large arena and amphitheatre settings.

Kublai Khan TX: https://kublaikhantx.com — Kublai Khan TX supports the tour, bringing a style critics define as metalcore and beatdown hardcore — characterised by heavily downtuned guitars, slow-crushing breakdowns, hardcore punk aggression and socially aware lyrical content. Their 2024 album Exhibition of Prowess builds on this foundation, and the band’s 2025 single “The Mountain of Corsicana” continues the pattern of visceral intensity and tight rhythmic assault. On this tour they deliver a high-impact supporting set that bridges the hardcore underground with the larger metal audience lamb of god attracts.

Fit for an Autopsy: https://fitforanautopsy.co — Fit for an Autopsy also appears on the lineup, their genre often cited as deathcore with at times progressive death-metal inflections, layered instrumentation and chilling lyrical themes. Critics note that their music fuses crushing heaviness, melodic interludes and cinematic production — their 2024 album The Nothing That Is was highlighted for its expansive songwriting and thematic depth. On this tour they add the brutal dimension of modern extreme metal to the evening’s progression, positioning themselves between the hardcore right-hook of Kublai Khan TX and the full-throttle assault of Lamb of God.

Sanguisugabogg: https://sanguisugabogg.com — Sanguisugabogg opens the show with a raw death-metal aesthetic critics describe as “crude, brutish, and relentlessly heavy,” combining guttural vocals, sludgy riffing and horrifyingly themed lyrics. Their 2025 studio album Hideous Aftermath was praised as the band’s most powerful release to date, combining primal brutality with improved composition. Serving as the tour’s opening act, they set an unrelenting tone for the entire evening and anchor the extreme edge of what has been officially billed as “the heaviest tour of the whole damn year.”
