Bay Area metal veterans VICIOUS RUMORS have announced plans for an extensive U.S. run dubbed “The U.S. Asylum Tour 2026,” set to kick off later this winter.
The tour launches February 25 in Orlando, Florida, and carries the band across the country through the end of March, hitting major cities and smaller club stages alike before wrapping up the spring leg in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on March 29. Additional festival appearances are already confirmed for September.
Alongside the tour announcement, the band have also unveiled a new music video for their latest track “Abusement Park,” continuing their long-running streak of sharp-edged, classic-minded heavy metal.
