Steel Panther brings the Twenty Twenty $ex Tour to The Ritz in Raleigh on April 2nd, 2026, continuing a career built on precision musicianship wrapped in deliberately explicit satire. Critics typically place Steel Panther in modern glam metal and hard rock, rooted in the Sunset Strip lineage but executed with studio-level chops and a deep understanding of classic metal songcraft. The tour runs across North America with additional international dates, reflecting a band that remains a reliable draw in clubs and theaters well into its second decade. Their catalog—from Feel the Steel and Balls Out through All You Can Eat, Lower the Bar, and more recent releases—leans on tight riffs, disciplined rhythm sections, and vocals that are technically serious even when the subject matter is not. Steel Panther’s accolades include charting albums, consistent global touring success, and a reputation for live performances that are controlled rather than chaotic. Alongside the spectacle, the band has supported cancer research and community charities through benefit appearances and fundraising initiatives. Official site: https://steelpanther.com
