Corrosion of Conformity are heading west this summer. The Raleigh-bred sludge institution just announced a 14-date July 2026 North American headlining run, with Whores and Crobot riding along in support. It's the second leg of their broader NA campaign — the first kicks off next month — and it lands conveniently in the wake of their most ambitious album in decades.
The Tour
The run opens July 6 at Scout Bar in Houston, Texas and works its way up the West Coast before swinging east through the Pacific Northwest and wrapping July 22 at Bourbon Theatre in Lincoln, Nebraska. Fourteen shows in sixteen days. That's CoC doing what CoC does — grinding.
Tickets go on sale Friday, March 27 at 10:00 AM local time. Get them at coc.com/pages/tour or through Ticketmaster below.

Context: Good God / Baad Man
This tour runs directly off the back of CoC's long-awaited double album Good God / Baad Man, dropping April 3 via Nuclear Blast. It's the band's first record since 2018's No Cross No Crown, and it comes loaded with context. Original drummer Reed Mullin died in January 2020. Bassist Mike Dean departed amicably. That left Pepper Keenan and Woody Weatherman to rebuild — not replace — and what they came back with is two full albums worth of material.
Stanton Moore (who played on 2005's In the Arms of God) is on drums. Bobby "Rock" Landgraf — a DOWN/HONKY veteran — holds down bass. Recorded at multiple studios including the legendary Dockside Studios in Louisiana and, improbably, the Barry Gibb home studio in Miami, the record was produced by Grammy winner Warren Riker.
Lead single "Gimme Some Moore" is already out, featuring Al Jourgensen of Ministry and Monte Pittman on backing vocals. It's a seven-inch throwback in feel — hooks built for the pit, not the algorithm.
The opening riff of CoC's legacy lands at exactly the point where punk discipline and metal weight collide. Animosity, Blind, Deliverance — each album shifted the DNA slightly without losing the thread. Good God / Baad Man sounds like Pepper and Woody digging back to the source: Discharge, Motörhead, Sabbath, Neil Young in the same room. Two albums, two moods — Good God heavier and more aggressive, Baad Man more rock-forward. Either way, they're not shrinking.
The Support
Whores are the right call here. The Atlanta noise-rock/sludge outfit are genuinely nasty in the best way — abrasive, heavy, not interested in softening anything. They've toured with Torche and Helmet. They belong on this package.
Crobot are a different energy — hard rock with soul and swagger — but they play big and they bring a different crowd into the room. Smart booking.
Bottom Line
CoC haven't toured extensively in years. The combination of new material, a tight headlining set, and two quality support acts makes this a legitimate must-see for fans of anything in the heavy/sludge/rock-that-hits space. The West Coast and Pacific Northwest dates will move fast.
Tickets on sale March 27, 10AM local. Don't sleep.
