If you thought Bloodywood’s summer run with BABYMETAL was their victory lap, surprise — that was just the warm-up. India’s folk-metal powerhouses are to kick off 2026 by dropping their most ambitious North American headline tour yet, the wonderfully chaotic “System of a Brown” trek.
And they’re not coming alone. The band is dragging along a genre buffet of special guests: U.S. metalcore shapeshifters The Pretty Wild, Mexican heavy-flow rockers Ladrones, and Catalonia’s melodic metal hurricane Ankor. If there’s a tour that screams international chaos in the best way, this is it.
Frontman Raoul Kerr lays it out plainly: the band spent 2025 melting faces across Europe, tagging along with BABYMETAL, appearing at some of the biggest festivals, and now — finally — they’re ready to bring the full Bloodywood experience stateside. “Best of the new album, best of the first album, venues pushed to their limits,” he promises. Sounds like a challenge. Sounds like they’ll win.
Bloodywood’s reputation as a can’t-miss live act has been snowballing thanks to rave reviews from Revolver, Consequence, Guitar World, and every fan who’s survived the front row. Their London shows earlier this year basically turned into cardio.
Tour Basics
The 25-city sprint — powered by Live Nation — launches April 10 in Des Moines and zigzags through major clubs and massive festival stages, including Sick New World, Welcome to Rockville, and Sonic Temple. Things wrap up May 16 in Detroit, before a festival finale in Columbus.
