Grab your grog and sharpen your rusty axes — goblin metal’s least likely legends Nekrogoblikon are celebrating two decades of cult stardom, viral mayhem, and general filthy chaos with a massive Fall 2026 headline tour. The 20 Years of Goblin’ing run kicks off October 16 in Phoenix at The Van Buren and winds through 24 cities before wrapping up November 15 at The Belasco in Los Angeles.

Bringing the pain alongside John Goblikon and company are a genuinely stacked support lineup: Belgian death metal maulers Aborted, Pittsburgh deathcore heavyweights Signs of the Swarm, and Scotland’s own party-slam kings Party Cannon. If your neck isn’t sore by the end of the night, you’re doing it wrong.

“20 years of Nekrogoblikon Tour, what’s next? 21!? Drinks on me! See you filthy humans on the road,” says John Goblikon, ever the gracious host.

Various pre-sales run Tuesday, June 9 at 10am local through Thursday, June 11 at 10pm local, with general on-sales launching Friday, June 12 at 10am local. Head to nekrogoblikonofficial.com to snag tickets before they vanish into the swamp.

The band is also riding high on their brand-new EP, The Boiling Sea, which is out now and continues Nekrogoblikon’s signature blend of blast beats, melodic hooks, and unhinged goblin theatrics.
