Veteran Japanese noise-rockers Melt-Banana have announced a 2026 US tour that will run throughout the month of September.
The outing, dubbed “Slingshot Tour 2026.” will live up to its name, starting on the West Coast in Sacramento, California, on September 1st, then traveling to the East Coast, before bouncing back west to wrap up in San Francisco on September 27th. Along the way, the tour will hit such cities as Denver, Atlanta, Brooklyn, Cleveland, Phoenix, and Los Angeles.
Tickets for select shows are available via Vivid Seats (use code CONSEQUENCE20 to save $20 off orders of $200 or more), while tickets to other dates can be found on the band’s official tour page.
In the midst of the tour, Melt-Banana will make previously announced appearances at Austin’s Levitation Fest on September 11th and Chicago’s Riot Fest on September 19th.
Melt-Banana’s most recent album is 2024’s 3+5, their ninth overall. The LP marked the band’s first proper studio album in 11 years.
