The Official 2026 Tour Rumor Thread

For me the scared of fear was the king of the record and an absolute beauty live, closely followed by React Respond. What an incredible 1 - 2 power punch. Massive tunes. 

Would have loved to have seen Stevie but it wasnt to be.

I wish got to give translated well live, so damn good on the record.  

Amazing on the record! Was bummed not to hear it.

I totally agree on UH, WFS, and Setting Sun as being absolutely incredible, and I hope they stay. 

I think however, that I’m in the minority and would put Wreckage in there as well. Love it on the album and thought it was even better love! Was thrilled to hear at the shows I went to!

Anyone here thinks that dusting off that 2004 Vote for Change footage in an important midterm election year is not a coincidence?

No it doesn't mean anything

Just my opinion but I can’t see them taking an entire year off.  The band is set financially but I think to keep there “club house”running ( i one they keep showing off) they need to play shows.  Even if it’s only 10-12 in a year, that’s probably enough to keep it funded. 

My prediction for 2026
1) fall tour that includes Toronto and Montreal 
2) I hire @mcgruff10 to run the Niagara region. 

Yikes! Is the hiring pool that thinned out?

Yeah, I'm just giving Scruffy a hard time. Him and @D-Rod both. That's my shtick. Lol

Someone give Ed my number and I ll get it going.  I have lots of ideas.

If Something Special has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Something Special has only one fan then that is me. If Something Special has no fans, then that means I am no longer on Earth.

That being said, I heard it live once. I'm set. Play Leash.

Is this a Dark Matter worship thread or is it about tour rumors? For readers interested in tour rumors, it's starting to get tiresome.

thanks bud!  I'd definitely reach out to you for help!  First 5 or last 5 of the euro/uk run would be dublin, belfast, edinburgh, manchester, london.

So...Something Special or Buckle Up?  Who's heard both?  I only got Buckle Up....and I'm good with that, haha. It was actually better live than I thought it would be though.

I'll see you at each show and at the theatre of dreams for your stadium tour at the very least (unless you can wrangle that tour to be at a time different to June/July for once)

DM songs are bangers live. Translated much better than Gigaton (and I love Gigaton) live. Setting Sun needs to be anchored in the slot of the encore after Eddie plays a solo song. 

I need Retrograde in regular set rotation more.

Got it in Pitts and it was the last DM song I had to get to complete seeing the album live.  I thought it sounded good, but the guys didn't sound as confident playing it as the other DM songs live.

Buckle Up > Something Special. Even more so live.  Although as a Dad, I dig the message in Something Special.
