Static-X 2025

Static-X have revealed a fresh batch of headlining dates scheduled across late spring and summer 2026, rounding out a touring run that also includes several major festival appearances. The announcement went live today, on January 22, 2026, with an early-access presale currently available to members of the band’s mailing list. Tickets will open to the general public on January 23.

Joining them on this stretch will once again be Dope, a familiar pairing given the groups’ long-standing connection through shared frontman duties.

The confirmed dates are as follows:

  • May 8 – Daytona Beach, Florida – Welcome To Rockville
  • May 15 – Columbus, Ohio – Sonic Temple
  • July 16 – McHenry, Illinois – The Vixen
  • July 17 – Cadott, Wisconsin – Rock Fest
  • August 4 – Sioux Falls, South Dakota – The District
  • August 5 – Fargo, North Dakota – UP District Festival Field
  • August 7 – Sturgis, South Dakota – Iron Horse Saloon & Restaurant
  • August 9 – Billings, Montana – The Pub Station

In other news, filmmaker Matt Zane has confirmed that his unauthorized documentary centered on late Wayne Static and his wife Tera Wray will continue, despite the collapse of its recent crowdfunding effort. Zane explained that the project will now be completed independently, with funding coming directly from his own pocket.

The fundraising drive encountered problems almost immediately after the estates of both Wayne Static and Tera Wray voiced their opposition less than a day before the campaign was set to go live. Within 24 hours of the launch, Zane received cease-and-desist letters from both estates, sparking backlash among fans and ultimately preventing the campaign from reaching its financial target.

Even so, Zane has stated that he has no intention of abandoning the film and remains determined to see the documentary through to completion on a self-funded basis.

“I’m sure the estates and everyone over in the current Static-X camp thought that if they could prevent my funding, that would be the end of it,” said Zane. “I’m here to tell you I’ll move forward regardless and will self-fund this project to ensure that it’s made.”

A portion of the fanbase had earlier accused Matt Zane of treating the documentary as a so-called “cash grab.” With the project now moving forward without crowdfunding, however, the entire financial burden falls on Zane himself, significantly reducing any realistic chance of profit. He has continued to stress that making money was never the driving force behind the film.

Wayne and Tera asked me to make this. They were my friends,” Zane told. “I couldn’t get it done while they were here, but I can do it now. They wanted their truth and their story out there, and they trusted me with all of their video projects. I won’t let them down.”

“I sincerely hope their families watch it,” he said. “I truly believe they will come to understand that my intention was always to honor Wayne and Tera‘s wishes.”
