UK heavyweights Loathe are crossing the Atlantic for a 19-city North American headline tour in support of their third studio album, A Stranger To You. Kicking off September 19 at Royal Oak Music Theatre in Michigan and wrapping October 13 at The Masonic in San Francisco, the run brings their crushing blend of metalcore, shoegaze, and industrial atmospherics to some of the best mid-size venues on the continent. If you have been waiting for Loathe to do a proper headline run in the States, this is the one.
The tour supports A Stranger To You, dropping July 17, 2026 via SharpTone Records. The album represents the next chapter for a band whose 2020 release I Let It In and It Took Everything became a cult classic -- the kind of record that turned underground metal fans into evangelists and earned critical praise for its fearless genre-blending. The new single Revenant, featuring NOWHERE2RUN (the project from Jami Morgan and Eric Balderose of Code Orange), signals that Loathe are pushing even further into dark, atmospheric territory while keeping the heaviness that made them.
Support on the full tour comes from Fleshwater and Prostitute -- two acts that complement Loathe sonic palette perfectly. Fleshwater brings a noise-rock and shoegaze energy that bridges the gap between Loathe heavier and more ethereal tendencies, while Prostitute adds another layer of intensity to the bill. It is the kind of triple-lineup that fans of heavy music dream about seeing in a club setting.
The routing hits major markets coast to coast: Boston, Philly, D.C., Brooklyn, Charlotte, Atlanta, Orlando, Houston, Dallas, Denver, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco among them. These are 1,500 to 3,500 capacity rooms -- intimate enough to feel the wall of sound in your bones. Check the listings below and grab your Loathe tour tickets on BigStub before these shows sell out.

Loathe emerged from Liverpool, England in the mid-2010s as part of a wave of UK metal bands pushing the genre into darker, more experimental territory. What set them apart from day one was a refusal to stay in one lane. Their sound draws from metalcore, shoegaze, industrial, and nu-metal in roughly equal measure, creating something that can shift from crushing breakdowns to ethereal, reverb-drenched passages within the same song. It is the kind of music that appeals to fans of Deftones and Deafheaven just as much as fans of Architects and Knocked Loose.
Their 2020 album I Let It In and It Took Everything is widely regarded as a modern classic in heavy music. Released on SharpTone Records, the record pushed Loathe into a new stratosphere -- earning praise from outlets across the rock and metal press and building the kind of devoted fanbase that sells out every headline show they book. Tracks like Two-Way Mirror, New Faces in the Dark, and Is It Really You? demonstrated a band equally comfortable with bone-crushing aggression and delicate beauty. The album companion piece, The Things They Believe, an ambient counterpart released the same day, showed just how far their artistic ambitions reach.
Now, with their third album A Stranger To You arriving July 17, 2026, Loathe are ready for the next step. The lead single Revenant features a collaboration with NOWHERE2RUN -- the project from Jami Morgan and Eric Balderose of Code Orange -- and signals an album that continues to push boundaries while maintaining the crushing heaviness fans expect. The album is described as exploring the journey Loathe have experienced since their sudden rise, a reflection on growth, identity, and artistic evolution filtered through walls of distortion and atmosphere.
The A Stranger To You North American Tour spans 19 cities from September 19 through October 13, 2026. Here are the confirmed venues:
Support on the full run comes from Fleshwater and Prostitute. Fleshwater -- featuring members of Vein.fm -- brings a noise-rock and shoegaze sound that pairs naturally with Loathe more atmospheric side. Prostitute adds raw heaviness to the opening slot. Together, the three-band bill creates a progression from intensity to atmosphere to transcendence that mirrors what Loathe do within their own sets.
A Loathe headline show is an immersive experience. The band uses dramatic lighting, fog, and visual projections to build a world around the music, turning mid-size venues into something that feels larger than the room. Frontman Kadeem France alternates between guttural screams and clean, haunting vocals, backed by guitars that shift from djent-style chugging to shoegaze washes.
