Ignite & Cancer Bats

When two absolute heavyweights of the international hardcore and punk rock scene join forces, maximum live energy is guaranteed. IGNITE and the CANCER BATS—two bands that have been tearing up stages and breaking down barriers worldwide for decades—are teaming up for a massive co-headlining tour.

IGNITE – The California hardcore institution is back
After more than 25 years of band history and chart successes like *A War Against You* (No. 6 on the German album charts), the band from Orange County, California, proved that giving up is not an option. With new frontman Eli Santana at the helm and their self-titled album *Ignite* (produced by Cameron Webb), the band seamlessly reconnects with its hardcore roots. IGNITE deliver melodic, highly political anthems and prove once again why they effortlessly transcend genre boundaries—whether on tour with punk legends like Bad Religion or at major European metal festivals.

CANCER BATS – 20 Years of Punk, Thrash, and Stoner Rock
Originating as a Canadian side project in 2004, the Cancer Bats have earned true cult status over the past two decades, from North America to Australia. Their unique fusion of punk, thrash metal, and stoner rock catapulted the quartet from living rooms to stages around the world seemingly overnight. After three years of nonstop touring with their Juno-nominated album *Psychic Jailbreak* and with Jackson Landry as the new guitarist, the band now stands ready with a rock-solid lineup to raise the bar even higher with their upcoming eighth studio album.

This co-headlining tour brings together the melodic, political punch of California hardcore and the raw, high-energy power of Canadian metal-punk. Fans can look forward to a top-notch package that leaves nothing to be desired: brand-new material, timeless scene anthems, and two bands that are in absolute top form live
