BLACK TUSK have canceled the rest of their 2026 live performances while members and fill-in touring personnel deal with injuries. The sludge metal veterans also noted that some band members are taking personal time with their families.
The band said they “hate to do this,” but need to look after themselves right now. Which is the part of touring no one puts on the poster: sometimes the van, the bodies, and the calendar stop agreeing with each other.
BLACK TUSK plan to return in 2027 with a limited touring setup at first. In the meantime, they will head back into the studio to work on a follow-up to The Way Forward.
