Soulfly have expanded their 2026 touring cycle with a newly confirmed UK run alongside the return of Nailbomb, adding another chapter to what is already shaping up to be a packed year on the road.
The UK shows arrive immediately after Soulfly completes their extensive European summer tour, extending the momentum of their live campaign in support of the 2025 album Chama. Tickets for the UK dates go on sale Wednesday, June 10 at 10:00 AM BST.
The newly confirmed UK run will take place in early September and will feature five shows across England and Scotland:
September 3, 2026 – Southampton, United Kingdom – Engine Rooms
September 4, 2026 – London, United Kingdom – Electric Brixton
September 5, 2026 – Birmingham, United Kingdom – O2 Institute Birmingham
September 6, 2026 – Glasgow, United Kingdom – SWG3 TV Studio (with NAILBOMB)
September 7, 2026 – Manchester, United Kingdom – Academy 2 (with NAILBOMB)
Fronting both bands on this run is Max Cavalera, who will be performing double duty across the entire touring cycle. As the driving force behind Soulfly and Nailbomb, Cavalera will move directly between both sets each night, reinforcing the connection between the two projects.
Nailbomb’s return adds a historical edge to the announcement. Originally formed in the mid-1990s by Max Cavalera and Alex Newport, the project released the cult industrial metal album Point Blank in 1994 before disbanding shortly after. Its revival brings back the band’s aggressive fusion of industrial, punk, and extreme metal for a new generation.
The current Nailbomb lineup features Max Cavalera on vocals and guitar, alongside his son Igor Amadeus Cavalera, bassist Jackie Cruz, and guitarist Travis Stone.
Before the UK shows, Soulfly will complete a full European summer tour stretching from late July to early September. The run begins on July 24 in Hohenems, Austria and ends on September 1 in Lille, France, featuring a mix of festival appearances and club shows across the continent.
