North American Tour 2026

Prepare to enjoy an brutal evening of extreme metal as Lorna Shore, Paleface Swiss and Signs of the Swarm converge at The Midland theater in downtown Kansas City, Missouri on Monday, May 4th, 2026. The three bands will deliver their most intense deathcore performance to date during their North American Tour 2026 concert. 

Lorna Shore

Lorna Shore, the New Jersey deathcore band that exploded to mainstream fame with their legendary track "To the Hellfire". The unhuman pig squeal which Will Ramos performed as frontman during the breakdown section of the song introduced deathcore music to millions of listeners who had never heard it before. The song contains one of metal's most impressive vocal achievements which you should experience if you haven't already. The band performs their songs "Pain Remains I: Dancing Like Flames", "Pain Remains II: After All I've Done, I'll Disappear" and "Pain Remains III: In a Sea of Fire". The band progressed their musical development through their 2025 album "I Feel the Everblack Festering Within Me". The band consists of five members who include guitarist Adam De Micco and drummer Austin Archey and vocalist Will Ramos and guitarists Andrew O'Connor and bassist Michael Yager. The group has achieved worldwide chart success while becoming leaders of contemporary deathcore music. 

Signs of the Swarm

Pittsburgh's Signs of the Swarm brings their distinctive brutal breakdowns and progressive deathcore expertise to this strong lineup. The album features your journey to crushers which include "Pernicious" and "Dreamkiller" and "The Witch Beckons" and "IWONTLETYOUDIE" while the band shows their musical development through their six studio albums. The band proved their unbreakable status to Century Media Records through their 2025 album "To Rid Myself Of Truth". 

Paleface Swiss

Delivering Switzerland's explosive heavy music scene, Paleface Swiss adds their unconventional mix of deathcore, beatdown hardcore, nu metal and thrash to this massive tour package. The album features your most intense songs which include "Hatred" and "The Orphan" and "Let Me Sleep" and their chart-topping single "Cursed" which reached number seven on Spotify's global charts. The band presents their most recent work through their 2025 album "Cursed" and their 2026 EP "The Wilted". Frequently likened to early Slipknot, vocalist Marc 'Zelli' Zellweger and guitarist Yannick Lehmann draw influences from varied sources including Judas Priest, dubstep and hip-hop.
