Drowning Pool and Saliva are joining forces to celebrate 25 years of their breakthrough albums “Sinner” and “Every Six Seconds.” The tour will run from Oct. 8 to 25, 2026.
Released in 2001, Drowning Pool’s debut album “Sinner” launched the band on the global stage and features hits such as “Bodies,” “Tear Away” and the title track. The same year, Saliva exploded onto radio with “Every Six Seconds,” featuring staples “Your Disease” and “Click Click Boom.”
“We are beyond grateful and thankful to still be here rockin’ out with everyone after 25 Years of letting the bodies hit the floor!” Drowning Pool guitarist CJ Pierce said. “Looking forward to sharing the stage on tour again with our friends in Saliva performing the 25th anniversary of two amazing albums! A very sincere thank you to all of the amazing friends and family who have supported us throughout this rock ‘n’ roll roller coaster ride that we’ve all had together! Come share this once in a lifetime experience of celebrating 25 years of ‘Sinner’ with us!”
Saliva vocalist Bobby Amaru said: “I joined Saliva in 2011, when it had already been out for a decade, but that’s exactly what makes this anniversary so special. Great music has a life far beyond the people who create it. It belongs to the fans who have kept these songs alive for 25 years. Getting to celebrate this anniversary alongside Drowning Pool and two of the defining rock records from 2001 is something I don’t take for granted. I know Wayne Swinny and Dave Williams would be proud to see these songs still bringing people together all these years later.”
“I know some people will always have opinions about who should be on stage. I respect that,” Amaru added. “But this tour isn’t about reliving the past or cashing in on nostalgia. It’s about honoring the music and giving the fans a chance to celebrate two great records. Twenty-five years later, that’s what this is about, not the members, but the music. And as long as people keep showing up and singing every word, we’ll keep doing everything we can to honor that legacy.”
Drowning Pool will bring a limited run of 25th anniversary “Sinner” vinyl to the tour. These are the final remaining copies available drawn from the band’s own reserve after the anniversary pressing sold out online. The vinyl will be available exclusively at the merchandise booth while supplies last, giving fans one last opportunity to own a piece of “Sinner” history.
While the tour celebrates the past, Saliva is charging into the future. The band will release its new studio album, “Breaking Through,” on Aug. 14 via Judge & Jury Records.
In addition to the anniversary tour dates, Drowning Pool and Saliva each will perform select headline and festival appearances throughout summer and fall.
