Veteran hardcore punks CIRCLE JERKS have announced a short U.S. tour for September 2026, with support duties split between MUNICIPAL WASTE, NEGATIVE APPROACH, HAYWIRE, and UPCHUCK.
The run begins September 1 in New Orleans before moving through the Southeast and East Coast, wrapping up September 24 in Washington, D.C. Two days later, the band is also scheduled to appear at CBGB Fest in Brooklyn, NY.
The announcement arrives amid renewed attention around frontman Keith Morris following a recent onstage confrontation during the band’s Las Vegas performance. Regardless of the headlines, CIRCLE JERKS remain focused on what they do best: taking decades of hardcore history back onto the stage.
An artist presale begins June 3 at 10:00 a.m. local time using the code DENYEVERYTHING. General ticket sales start June 5 at 10:00 a.m. local time.
