UK heavyweights Malevolence and Guilt Trip are gearing up to cross the Atlantic this spring for the United Kingdom Metal and Hardcore Across North America 2026 tour.
For Malevolence, this marks their first proper U.S. headline tour, and the band is thrilled to share the spotlight with longtime friends and UK comrades Guilt Trip. The tour kicks off on March 31 at The Shelter in Detroit, MI and wraps up on April 23 at XRay Arcade in Milwaukee, WI. Get your tickets here.
"Where to begin! Our first ever proper US headline tour after all these years and it is only right to be sharing the stage every night with some of our closest friends in the game Guilt Trip from Manchester. With both bands proudly flying the flag not only for UK metal & hardcore but also more specifically the NORTH OF ENGLAND," the band commented.
"Our relationship with GT is very well documented — from numerous tours together, collaborating on music & even helping to release their last record, it feels extremely fitting to be venturing onto foreign shores side by side for a big, bad co-headline debut — In our opinion a true demonstration to the American people of what real northern UK heavy music has to offer. We strongly advise you don't miss this shit."
Guilt Trip vocalist Jay Valentine echoed the excitement: "We're so excited to return to the states with our good friends in Malevolence. It feels great to come back so soon and share a headlining slot with our UK brothers. After just one run, North America already feels like a second home to us and we can't wait to see you all again!"
