Canadian hardcore punks Cancer Bats are hitting Europe and the UK this summer to mark 20 Years of Madness, which is why they named the tour that.
The band’s European run spans May through July 2026, hitting festival stages like Slam Dunk Festival, Fury Dance Festival, and Hellfest Open Air, alongside intimate club shows across France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, and the UK. Highlights include Slam Dunk Festival in Hatfield and Leeds, Metal Frenzy in Germany, and 2000 Trees in Cheltenham.
Immediately following that, the band will unleash their Black Sabbath tribute alter ego, Bat Sabbath, for a separate UK-focused run. Get all those dates below and get your tickets here.
