Tickets for BEHEMOTH's massive spring 2026 headline "The Godless IV" North American tour go on sale Friday, January 16 at 10 a.m. local time, marking the latest chapter in one of extreme metal's most celebrated touring franchises. The twenty-four-date trek launches April 14 in San Diego and wraps May 21 in Los Angeles, featuring a dream lineup that brings together four of the most important names in extreme metal: DEICIDE, ROTTING CHRIST, and IMMOLATION in direct support.
The package represents a once-in-a-generation convergence of blackened death metal royalty. BEHEMOTH, led by the charismatic and controversial Nergal, have evolved from their Polish black metal roots into one of the genre's most visually and sonically commanding forces, with 2025's "The Shit ov God" album further expanding their artistic ambitions. DEICIDE bring three decades of uncompromising Florida death metal brutality led by the inimitable Glen Benton. ROTTING CHRIST contribute over three decades of Greek extreme metal mastery, while IMMOLATION — New York death metal pioneers since 1988 — round out a bill that reads like a metal encyclopedia entry.
The tour hits major markets including San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Denver, Chicago, New York, and Toronto, ensuring fans across the continent will have access to this extreme metal summit. ROTTING CHRIST will not appear at the April 30 Maryland date due to scheduling conflicts, while DEICIDE will skip the May 1 Massachusetts show.
Nergal has described "The Godless IV" as the most ambitious edition of the touring series yet, promising enhanced production values including the elaborate stage rituals and provocative visual elements that have become BEHEMOTH's trademark. The band's live shows are theatrical events that blur the line between concert and performance art, incorporating fire, blood, and religious imagery that has drawn both acclaim and controversy across their career.
VIP packages offering meet-and-greet opportunities, exclusive merchandise, and early venue entry will also be available at the Friday on-sale.
