Down have announced plans for a late summer headlining tour of North America.
The long-running metal supergroup, which features Pantera singer Philip Anselmo, Corrosion of Conformity guitarist Pepper Keenan, Crowbar guitarist Kirk Windstein, Eyehategod drummer Jimmy Bower and bassist Pat Bruders, will kick off the Strap It Down tour on Aug. 15 in Atlanta.
You can find Down’s complete 2026 tour schedule below.
Helmet and Spirit in the Room will serve as opening act for each headlining date. Down will also perform at a handful of festivals later in the year.

Anselmo is currently touring Europe with Pantera, while Keenan’s been busy performing with Corrosion of Conformity in support of their recently released double album Good God / Baad Man.
Downhave reportedly completed work on a new studio album, which would be their first release since the 2014 EP Down IV – Part II and their first full-length since 2007’s Down III: Over the Under.
“[Corrosion Of Conformity] have an amazing new record coming out April 2nd,” Windstein told the Pod Scum podcast earlier this year. “So we can’t put Down out too close to that… C.O.C. needs to come out and let everybody get blown away for a good bit. And when the water settles, we give ’em a double whammy and throw out the Down.”
