Platinum-certified rock powerhouse Bad Omens is turning the volume up on 2026, announcing a massive headline arena tour that will storm across North America next spring. The run launches February 22, 2026, at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, with support from Beartooth and PRESIDENT, a triple threat of modern heavy hitters ready to turn every stop into a full-scale sonic takeover. It’s the band’s biggest tour yet, with Bad Omens headlining arenas across the country.
The tour promises the kind of spectacle that’s earned Bad Omens their reputation as one of the most exciting live acts in rock. Known for their cinematic visuals, razor-sharp production, and emotional, high-energy performances, the band plans to deliver shows that are as immersive as they are explosive.
“This isn’t just a concert, it’s an experience,” the announcement teases. And honestly? That tracks. Bad Omens shows have become a benchmark for what modern rock can look and feel like: dark, dramatic, and absolutely electric.
Bad Omens Are Riding High on Chart-Topping Momentum
The announcement follows the release of several major singles that have been shaking up the airwaves and playlists alike. “Specter” shot to the top of the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, while also breaking into the Billboard Alternative Airplay Top 20, proving Bad Omens’ crossover power. The band followed with two more singles, “Impose” and “Dying To Love,” both of which deepened their signature blend of cinematic sound design, raw emotion, and unrelenting heaviness.
“Specter” and “Impose” made their live debut at Louder Than Life and Aftershock, where fans got an early taste of the new material’s impact. In classic Bad Omens fashion, the performances were more than songs, they were statements.
And the fans? Obsessed.
Bad Omens don’t just play live. They really perform. Frontman Noah Sebastian owns the stage like he was born on it. One second he’s whispering something that pulls you in close, the next he’s unleashing vocals that could level the arena. It’s dramatic, it’s emotional, and it’s completely magnetic.
With cinematic visuals, immersive lighting, and the kind of precision most bands only dream about, Bad Omens turn every detail into a moment. The lights, the sound, the silence between — it’s all part of the story. When you go to a Bad Omens show, you don’t just watch it happen. You live inside it.
Rock Is Rising, And Bad Omens Are Leading the Charge
The timing couldn’t be better. According to Live Nation, heavy rock is having a serious moment, with a 14% rise in attendance and 13% of all arena and stadium shows now belonging to the genre. Translation: rock is not dead, it’s just louder, bolder, and bigger than ever.
And Bad Omens are right at the center of that resurgence. This tour is their victory lap, their statement piece, their chance to remind the industry that heavy music can still headline arenas, not just festivals or niche venues. It’s a bold move, but one entirely in character for a band that’s built its brand on ambition and artistry.
Expect the setlist to be a dynamic mix of fan favorites and the band’s new anthems, each one delivered with the kind of power that makes the ground shake and the heart race.
The Details That Matter (So You Don’t Miss Out)
If you’re already scrambling for presale codes, and you should be, here’s what you need to know, according to the band’s official website:
- Artist presales begin Tuesday, October 28 at 12 p.m. local time.
- Additional presales will roll out throughout the week.
- General on sale begins Friday, October 31 at 10 a.m. local time.
A Bad Omens show is equal parts chaos and control, power and precision. And with Beartooth and PRESIDENT on the bill, this tour is shaping up to be a non-stop, full-throttle experience, a celebration of heavy music’s past, present, and future.
Fans will walk away with ringing ears, sore necks, and that electric feeling that only live music can deliver, the kind that reminds you why you fell in love with rock in the first place.
Bad Omens have proven they can top the charts. They’ve proven they can command festivals. Now, they’re out to prove they can own the arena stage, and make it look easy while they do it.
So, here’s your friendly reminder: grab your tickets early, charge your phone, and get ready to scream your lungs out. Because when Bad Omens hit the stage, it’s not just another concert, it’s an event.
The lights will flash, the amps will roar, and somewhere between the first note and the final encore, you’ll remember why live rock will always matter.
Bad Omens are coming. And this time, they’re taking everyone with them.
