Kreator are gearing up for a long-awaited return to the United States, marking their first full run across the country since 2024. The influential metal band has mapped out a headlining tour that will include appearances at several major festivals, among them Welcome to Rockville, Sonic Temple, and Maryland Deathfest. Their trek begins on May 7 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and continues through May 23 in Huntington, New York.
Fans will have the option to enhance their experience with VIP packages. An artist pre-sale is scheduled for Thursday, December 11 at 10 a.m. local time, followed by the general on-sale on Friday, December 12 at 10 a.m. local time. Get tickets here.
In a statement, Kreator shared their excitement about the upcoming run: “We are overjoyed to be returning to the US in 2026 to celebrate Krushers Of The World with you. We’ll be bringing Carcass and Cold Steel along with us for a run of headline shows, plus we’ll be making a few festival appearances.”
The band recently released “Satanic Anarchy”, the latest single from their sixteenth album, Krushers Of The World, which arrives January 16 through Nuclear Blast Records.
The track showcases elements that longtime listeners will recognize immediately—rapid-fire thrash guitar work, a hook-driven chorus, and a standout solo, all packed into three and a half minutes.
Before unveiling this single, Kreator paid tribute to Dario Argento’s iconic horror film Suspiria with their track “Tränenpalast” and its accompanying video. Their interest in classic horror continues in the video for “Satanic Anarchy”, which nods to Clive Barker’s Hellraiser (1987). Released a decade after Suspiria, the film is celebrated for redefining modern horror by blending psychological tension with graphic, visceral imagery.
