'90s Metal Band Cryptopsy Announces New Dates for 2026 Tour
Cryptopsy just dropped surprising news for fans amid its busy 2026 touring schedule.
Fresh off a successful North American tour in May, the Canadian death metal band is bringing a series of intense live performances to more locations before the year ends.
In an Instagram update, the four-piece band composed of vocalist Matt McGachy, guitarist Christian Donaldson, bassist Olivier "Oli" Pinard and long-standing drummer Flo Mounier announced three new shows for this year's Freak Fair Run.
Headlined by Cryptopsy, the run includes live shows in Ontario and Michigan scheduled for the last week of August featuring fellow death metal band Sentiment Dissolve on Aug. 28 and See You Next Tuesday and Flesh And Blood Robot on Aug. 30.
The update came months after the iconic band headlined the 2026 Decibel Magazine Tour.
They kicked off their North American run on April 30 in Massachusetts and concluded the 21-date trek in Quebec.
Following that, Cryptopsy is gearing up for its European Summer Tour starting on July 25 in Steenwijk, the Netherlands before wrapping up on Aug. 21 in the Czech Republic and returning to Canada for the newly announced tour.
