Dillinger Escape Plan Announces Final Calculating Infinity Tour Leg for 2026
On June 16 2026, the math‑core pioneers Dillinger Escape Plan confirmed the last chapter of their 25‑year celebration of the 1999 debut Calculating Infinity. The announcement revealed a series of October shows that will bring back the original vocalist, Dimitri Minakakis, alongside founding guitarist Ben Weinman, bassist Liam Wilson, guitarist James Love, and drummer Billy Rymer.
The news follows DEP’s return to the stage in 2024 after a hiatus that began in 2017. Minakakis, who departed in 2001, re‑joined the band for three reunion shows in June 2024—marking the first DEP performances since the end of the Dissociation tour. According to the band’s statement, the 2026 dates are the “final batch of Calculating Infinity performances.” It remains unclear whether the current lineup will play the full set or focus exclusively on the debut album.
The October run opens on the East Coast with a performance at the Philadelphia Music Fest on October 16, the festival’s 10th anniversary. DEP will follow with shows in Worcester, Massachusetts (October 17), Baltimore, Maryland (October 18), and Portland, Oregon (October 25). The tour then pivots to the Pacific Northwest, featuring a Canadian appearance at Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom on October 26, a stop at Seattle’s Neptune Theatre on October 27, and a final U.S. venue in St. Petersburg, Florida’s Jannus Landing on October 29.
The tour’s finale will take place aboard the Lamb of God‑sponsored Headbangers Boat, which sails from Miami, Florida to Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas, between October 30 and November 3. The cruise has previously hosted acts such as In Flames and Zakk Sabbath.
Tickets for the headline shows go on sale June 19 at 10 a.m. local time. Fans can view the full 2026 schedule on the band’s website.
This leg marks the second “Infinity” era for DEP. The first began in late 2023 with a reunion of Minakakis and Weinman, and the 2024 shows celebrated the 25th anniversary of Calculating Infinity. The album, released in 1999, is widely regarded as a landmark in math‑core and has sold over 100,000 copies worldwide.
DEP’s lineup has shifted frequently over the years. By the time of the 2017 disbandment, Weinman was the only founding member left. The current roster includes long‑time bassist Liam Wilson and drummer Billy Rymer, both of whom joined in later line‑ups.
The final leg underscores the band’s enduring influence on the metalcore and math‑core scenes and marks the last time the original vocalist will perform with the group in a full‑band setting, according to the band’s announcement.
The 2026 dates offer a last chance for fans to experience the complex arrangements and aggressive energy that defined DEP’s early work. The cruise conclusion serves as a fitting capstone to the anniversary celebrations.
As the band wraps up this chapter, the future of DEP remains uncertain. No new recordings or tours have been announced beyond the 2026 dates, and the band has not issued statements regarding further activity.
In summary, Dillinger Escape Plan’s 2026 tour will see the original lineup perform a series of October shows, culminating in a cruise appearance. Tickets are available from June 19, and the schedule includes venues across the United States and Canada, as well as a final stop on the Headbangers Boat cruise.
