’90s Metal Band Exhorder Announces 2026 North America Tour

Exhorder, the heavy metal band from Louisiana, is wrapping up the year with a series of high-energy shows for The Tour Of Unsound Minds: Act II.

After kicking off 2026 with the Unforeseen Circumstances Tour, the quartet, fronted by lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Kyle Thomas, the band’s sole remaining founding member, has unveiled a 19-date U.S. fall tour.

Scheduled for September and October, the run kicks off Sept. 25 in Dunbar, West Virginia, with stops in Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, Illinois and several other states before concluding in Evansville, Indiana, on Oct. 18.

In an Instagram update, Exhorder revealed that this will be their “final tour of the year” but promised an unforgettable run, as “some amazing bands” will join them on stage.

“THE CAT IS OUT OF THE BAG. Last tour of the year for us with some amazing bands, all in solidarity to ruin everything!!! Where will we see you???” the caption reads.

The special guests include Intoxicated, No/Más, Phantom and Parabellum, with the four bands sharing opening duties on selected dates throughout the tour.

As previously mentioned, the latest announcement continues a busy year of touring, following nearly a month of shows on the road from Jan. 29 in Lafayette, Louisiana, to Feb. 22 in Hobart, Indiana.

At that time, they invited Luicidal, Ringworm, Phobia and Slowhole to perform on select dates.

Hinting at the jam-packed schedule for the rest of the year, Exhorder promised that the band would keep the momentum going.

“2025 was the busiest year ever for us — but we aren’t finished yet! This is only the first leg of our 2026 plans,” the band said, and true to its word, Exhorder has added a 19-date run before the year ends.
