Nailbomb is set to return to the stage with a vengeance this summer, announcing a full slate of European and UK tour dates for 2025.
Originally formed in 1993 as a ferocious industrial metal side project by Max Cavalera (Sepultura, Soulfly) and Alex Newport (Fudge Tunnel), Nailbomb quickly earned cult status thanks to their lone studio album and infamous live performance at Dynamo Festival. After lying dormant for decades, the band was reborn in 2024 with a revamped lineup that retains the project’s aggressive spirit while injecting new energy.
Fronted once again by Max Cavalera, this new chapter of Nailbomb includes his son Igor Cavalera on guitar, creating a powerful family connection at the band’s core. They’re joined by a heavy-hitting lineup: Travis Stone (Pig Destroyer) on guitar, Johny Chow (Stone Sour, Fireball Ministry, Cavalera Conspiracy) on bass, Alex Cha (Pig Destroyer) on samples, and Adam Jarvis (Misery Index, Pig Destroyer) behind the drums.
The band’s summer tour kicks off on July 31 in Lobnitz, Germany at the Full Rewind Festival and continues through mid-August, hitting both major festival stages and intimate club venues. Highlights include appearances at Wacken Open Air, Bloodstock, Alcatraz, Motocultor, and Dynamo Festival—along with headline dates across Poland, Slovakia, Austria, Italy, France, and beyond.
