Canadian metal band VOIVOD will tour the United States in October 2026, playing ten dates with support from Richmond metal-punk trio BAT. The run gives the band a focused East Coast and southern US itinerary while frontman Denis “Snake” Bélanger is temporarily absent from its separate European tour for a family matter.

The tour begins on 8 October in Youngstown, Ohio, and ends on 18 October in Newport, Kentucky, with stops including Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Richmond, Orlando, Atlanta and Asheville. Former VOIVOD vocalist and bassist Eric Forrest has been covering European dates; both Forrest and Bélanger’s partner have recently disclosed serious cancer-related health circumstances. VOIVOD’s orchestral live album, “Symphonique”, was released on 5 June and contains 12 songs recorded in Québec City in 2025.
