At the heart of the announcement is the band’s Take Cover Tour, a sprawling tour campaign that kicks off in early 2026 and runs into the fall. The trek began in January with a benefit and festival date, and now has multiple confirmed legs across several continents. This tour is particularly notable as the first major run with the band’s new drummer Ilan Rubin, who stepped in following the departure of previous drummer Josh Freese. (Wikipedia)

The European leg of the tour will see the band play dozens of shows across the UK and mainland Europe from June through July.
