Polyphia Announces 2026 World Tour, Backing New Single "Can You Feel It"
Polyphia is back on the road—an announcement that ties a fresh single to a sweeping 2026 World Tour. The American instrumental outfit, known for fusing progressive metal, electronic textures and hip‑hop grooves, will hit the stage across North America and Europe starting on September 5 in Dallas, Texas, and wrapping up on December 16 in London, United Kingdom. All shows will feature guitarist‑producer RJ Pasin as the opening act, with a rotating roster of supporting musicians that varies by region.
In the United States, the Mexican band Ladrones will join Polyphia, while Intervals and Plini will add further stylistic layers to the U.S. leg. Across the Atlantic, the synth‑wave pioneer Perturbator will open every European date. The tour’s itinerary includes marquee stops in Los Angeles, New York City, Nashville, Toronto, Montreal, Madrid, Milan, Paris and London, and the full schedule—41 dates in 18 cities—is already live on the band’s website. Presales are underway through official channels and selected partners; the general ticket sale will launch Friday, June 19 at 10 a.m. local time.
The announcement arrives on the heels of Polyphia’s first single in more than four years, "Can You Feel It," released May 31. The track’s accompanying music video, directed by Evers, captures the group in high‑energy performance mode before a packed crowd, underscoring the band’s reputation for virtuosic stage presence. While the single hints at a new creative direction, the band has not yet signaled plans for a full album.
Polyphia formed in Plano, Texas, in 2010 and has since evolved from heavy‑metal roots to a hybrid of progressive rock, electronic beats and hip‑hop elements. The lineup—guitarists Tim Henson and Scott LePage, bassist Clay Gober and drummer Clay Aeschliman—has delivered three studio albums that charted on the Billboard 200, with New Levels New Devils peaking at No. 61 and Remember That You Will Die debuting at No. 33.
The tour is produced by Live Nation, the multinational entertainment conglomerate that also operates Ticketmaster. Live Nation has faced scrutiny over its market dominance, and a federal trial began in March 2026 over alleged antitrust violations. A settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice was reached, yet 33 states and the District of Columbia continue to pursue claims. In April 2026, a federal jury found Live Nation and Ticketmaster liable on the states’ antitrust allegations.
For Polyphia, the 2026 tour marks a return to major venues after a touring hiatus. The inclusion of RJ Pasin—known for his work with guitarist Tim Henson—adds a fresh dimension to the live show, while Ladrones, Intervals, Plini and Perturbator bring diverse sonic textures that complement the band’s complex arrangements. The extensive schedule, spanning 41 dates across 18 cities, underscores Polyphia’s commitment to reaching audiences worldwide.
Ticket sales are already in motion. Fans can secure seats through the band’s official presale and select partners, with the general sale opening June 19. Each concert will feature the core Polyphia group alongside the designated support acts, promising a blend of technical musicianship and high‑profile collaboration.
As the tour progresses, Polyphia will keep fans engaged through live performances and online content. The next public activity will be the scheduled shows, beginning in Dallas on September 5 and concluding in London on December 16. Ticket holders can anticipate a series of concerts that fuse the band’s intricate instrumentation with the energy of its supporting acts.
The 2026 World Tour is a pivotal moment for Polyphia, Live Nation and the broader touring landscape. It highlights the band’s evolution, the strategic role of opening acts in shaping the concert experience, and the ongoing legal scrutiny of the live‑events industry.
