Raven are officially back. The NWOBHM pioneers and thrash metal godfathers have announced a sprawling North American tour for 2026, fittingly titled Can't Take Away the Fire. Get your tickets here.
Promoted by Satellite Touring and GLM Artists, the run will see Raven hit the road for 35-plus shows across the U.S. and Canada, spanning March through May. Support on all dates will come from Slackjaw, setting the stage for a relentless, high-voltage night of metal.
The tour marks a major return for the Gallagher brothers following what the band have dubbed a "medical gap year" in 2025, and bassist and vocalist John Gallagher says the break has only intensified their hunger to perform.
"After our 'medical gap year' of 2025 we are hungry and itching to get back to doing what we do best — cranking out the megawatts and putting on a RAVEN metal show for the lunatics out there," Gallagher said. "We have a killer band Slackjaw out with us as special guests and it's gonna be a take-no-prisoners, full-out affair!"
