The USA-based avant-garde/experimental rock/metal outfit Kayo Dot has announced a 2026 North American Tour in support of their current masterpiece, Every Rock, Every Half-Truth Under Reason, on 1 August via Prophecy Productions.
This extensive road trip will take the avant-garde music project across the North American continent, starting with a show at the Space Ballroom in New Haven, CT, on 8 January 2026. Kayo Dot will continue to entrance audiences until the final curtain falls at the Turbohaus in Montreal, QC. At selected shows, they will be joined by label mates Xasthur.
Kayo Dot's mastermind, Toby Driver, enthuses: "We are heading out on our first stateside tour since 2017! After a year of intense international touring, we're ready to finally bring this music home to play for people across this remarkably varied country and also to our neighbors in Canada. Our recent U.S. shows have revealed a substantial community of passionate listeners here, and we can hardly wait to share the new music with both longtime supporters and new audiences, opening minds along the way. We'll be playing music from the critically acclaimed new album as well as fan favorites and deep cuts from the back catalogue. Avant-garde and outsider music creates spaces that don't exist anywhere else, and maybe now more than ever, there's a need for it to exist and offer glimpses of alternative realities. Pick up presale tickets, come to the shows, bring friends, and see what it's all about. See you out there!"
