Lords of Acid to Kick Off US Tour in Spring 2026
Industrial-dance pioneers Lords of Acid have announced a Spring 2026 U.S. tour alongside the anticipated release of their first album in eight years. The tour, named the “Cheeky Freaky Tour,” will feature support from Dead on a Sunday, Princess Superstar, Tony and the Kiki, and MZ NEON.
The tour will commence following the band’s performance at the Sick New World festival on March 25 in Las Vegas. Kicking off on March 26 in Fontana, California, the tour will continue until May 31, culminating in a show in San Jose, California. The itinerary includes stops in major cities such as Denver, Chicago, New York City, Dallas, and Los Angeles.
As of last year, Lords of Acid has been fronted by Carla Harvey (The Violent Hour, ex-Butcher Babies) as their “Acid Queen.” A recent press release noted that a long-awaited follow-up to the 2018 album *Pretty in Kink* is forthcoming.
“For the first time in eight years, there is truly new material,” stated Lords of Acid founder Praga Khan. “A new album is coming, and the ‘Cheeky Freaky Tour’ ushers in a new era for the band, with respect for the past, but with a clear focus on the future.”
