Five Finger Death Punch to launch 20th anniversary world tour this summer

Multi-platinum hard rock act Five Finger Death Punch will embark on its 20th anniversary world tour in 2026 and 2027, with the first leg kicking off in July 2026 and running through October. The 48-city tour will support outlaw country musician Cody Jinks and rock band Eva Under Fire.

In addition to celebrating two decades of music, Five Finger Death Punch once again will use its platform to give back. Long recognized as one of the most charitable bands in rock, Five Finger Death Punch has spent decades giving back to various causes, including U.S. military veterans and first responders and their families. In 2026, the band is expanding that mission with the launch of its campaign to support Team USA and align with the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games being held on American soil in Los Angeles in 2028. As part of the tour’s commitment to championing America’s next generation of athletes, a portion of the ticket sales will be allocated to support high-performance programs for U.S. athletes as they prepare for international competition.

Founding guitarist Zoltan Bathory has selected USA Judo, the National Governing Body for Judo in the United State, as his beneficiary, while vocalist Ivan Moody will direct his contribution to the USA Cycling BMX Racing & BMX Freestyle teams.

“It’s a little-known fact that the United States is one of the only major countries in the world where the government does not fund Olympic and Paralympic athletes or their training programs,” Bathory said. “Our athletes are competing against nations with fully funded teams, while U.S. teams rely almost exclusively on private donations and sponsorships. We believe supporting Team USA is both patriotic and necessary, especially with the Olympic and Paralympic Games coming home in 2028.”

“These athletes represent the best of who we are,” Moody said. “Dedication, sacrifice, discipline. If we can help level the playing field even a little, we’re all in.”

These contributions help fund essential resources for the athletes, covering coaching, travel, equipment and the rigorous training required to compete on the world stage. With no direct government funding for U.S. Olympic and Paralympic sports, this initiative helps raise financial support and awareness for the athletes who represent Team USA at the highest level.

The tour will showcase new material from Five Finger Death Punch’s upcoming 10th studio album alongside the band’s many hits. Additional international tour dates will be announced following the North American leg.

The band’s current albums, “Best Of – Volume 1” and “Best Of – Volume 2,” feature newly re-recorded versions of Five Finger Death Punch’s biggest hits, including the number 1 single “I Refuse” featuring Maria Brink (Vol. 1) and number 1 single “The End” featuring BABYMETAL (Vol. 2). “The End” reached number 1 on the Japanese iTunes Metal Chart and number 18 on the Japanese All-Genres Chart, marking a major milestone for an international rock release. In the U.S., the song made history as the first track featuring Japanese lyrics to chart at Rock Radio, ultimately reaching number 1. Both albums were created in response to the sale of the band’s original masters, a decision made without its knowledge or opportunity to reclaim them. Stream/buy the here.

Various ticket pre-sales are occurring throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning at 10 a.m. Friday, Jan. 16, at LiveNation.com. For more information and VIP offerings, visit fivefingerdeathpunch.com
