U.K. thrash veterans ONSLAUGHT are finally returning to North American stages in March 2026, marking their first full run across the continent in more than a decade. The tour will feature a ruthless Force From Hell set, pulling heavily from the band’s first two landmark albums, Power From Hell and The Force — records that helped lay the groundwork for extreme thrash metal in the 1980s.
The set will also include a neck-snapping selection of classic Sy Keeler–era fan favorites, celebrating the vocalist’s long-awaited return to the band. Kicking things off, ONSLAUGHT and WARLORD will appear together at the Hell’s Heroes festival in Houston, Texas, before taking the show on the road.
Joining as co-headliners are cult metal icons WARLORD, who are embarking on a historic first-ever North American tour despite a career spanning more than 45 years. The Los Angeles-based band will perform their seminal album Deliver Us in full, alongside additional classic material from their early catalog.
ONSLAUGHT guitarist Nige Rockett commented:
“Super stoked to be returning to the States for our first full tour in 11 years, and with Sy Keeler back at the helm, it’s gonna be mega! This is just Part 1 — we’re bringing this tour to the entire USA so nobody misses out on this epic setlist. See you in the pit!”
WARLORD drummer Mark Zonder added:
“Although WARLORD is an American band formed in 1980, we never once performed live in the USA. Our first gig was actually in Germany in 2002. This tour finally delivers the set fans would have seen back then — the full Deliver Us mini-LP, tracks from Cannons, the Lost and Lonely Days EP, and more.”
