Holy Wars join Kingdom Of Giants’ Respawn 2026 North American tour

Holy Wars will join Kingdom Of Giants on the Respawn 2026 North American tour this November and December, with Deadlands and Night Rider. It is Kingdom Of Giants’ first headline run in nine years. Tickets are on sale now.

The trek starts November 14 in Seattle — Holy Wars skip that date — and runs through December 18 at Goldfield Trading Post in Roseville, California. Stops include Chicago, Toronto, New York, Atlanta and Los Angeles.

Holy Wars are out behind their sophomore album Shadow Work/Light Work (April 24, Pale Chord / Rise Records / BMG). Frontwoman Kat Leon has said the record is about grief she held onto as armor after losing her parents, then being pulled back into that darkness when her sister died in 2024 — and using the writing to get out of it.

“Ultimately, you have to confront the darkest parts of yourself, even the parts that you are unwilling to look at. Only then can you eventually find the light.”

Kat Leon

Before Respawn, the band hits the road with Black Veil Brides, Caskets and Archers (August 27–September 8), then Louder Than Life in Louisville on September 17 and Vans Warped Tour in Orlando on November 14.
