New Orleans sludge metal titans CROWBAR and EYEHATEGOD have announced a co-headlining U.S. tour launching March 19 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and wrapping April 18 in New Orleans. The pairing reunites two of the most influential bands to emerge from the fertile New Orleans heavy music scene of the early 1990s, a movement that also birthed DOWN, SOILENT GREEN and ACID BATH.
The trek covers an ambitious route through the Southwest, West Coast, Pacific Northwest, Midwest, and Southeast regions, hitting major markets and intimate club venues alike. The routing was designed to bring the crushing sounds of NOLA sludge to corners of the country that rarely see either band on a headlining run. Following a successful summer 2025 co-headlining tour, the two bands clearly found a winning formula worth repeating.
A standout date is April 17 in Atlanta, which features a special appearance by reformed Louisiana legends ACID BATH, the cult sludge/doom outfit that originally disbanded in 1997 following the tragic death of bassist Audie Pitre. Their reunion makes the Atlanta show a historic night for fans of Louisiana heavy music and one of the most anticipated individual concert dates of the spring touring season.
Kirk Windstein's CROWBAR recently released their acclaimed album "Zero And Below," which saw the band delivering some of their heaviest and most emotionally resonant material in years. Meanwhile, EYEHATEGOD continue to tour behind "A History Of Nomadic Behavior," maintaining their reputation as one of the most uncompromising live acts in extreme music. Tickets go on sale January 10 through all major outlets.
