Beloved Metal Band Announces Final Dates for 2026 Tour

The Dillinger Escape Plan is giving fans one last chance to celebrate one of heavy music's most influential albums.

The band announced the final batch of dates for its 2026 Calculating Infinity anniversary tour, which honors its groundbreaking 1999 debut.

The newly revealed schedule includes festival appearances and headline shows across Europe this month before the band's remaining U.S. dates kick off in October. The run concludes with an appearance aboard the Headbangers Boat cruise in early November.

"Excited to announce the final batch of Calculating Infinity performances," the band wrote on Instagram. "Europe shows start this week, remaining US shows in October and we are excited to have some great support bands with us."

Among the newly announced dates are appearances at Graspop Metal Meeting in Belgium and Hellfest in France, along with headline shows in Paris and London. The band also confirmed that its London performance has been moved from O2 Academy Brixton to O2 Forum Kentish Town because of logistical issues, with all previously purchased tickets remaining valid.

Released in 1999, Calculating Infinity introduced The Dillinger Escape Plan's dizzying blend of mathcore, hardcore punk and extreme metal, quickly establishing the New Jersey band as one of the most innovative acts in heavy music. Its chaotic time signatures, technical musicianship and uncompromising intensity helped redefine what aggressive music could sound like, influencing countless bands that followed.

The group officially disbanded in 2017 after a farewell tour, but it reunited to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Calculating Infinity, bringing original vocalist Dimitri Minakakis back to the stage to perform the landmark album in full. The reunion has allowed fans to experience songs from the record live once again, more than a quarter-century after its release.

"We just want to keep people off guard," singer Greg Pusciato said in 2005 interview. "I feel like the second someone can predict what you're gonna do is the second when you're not in a very artistic position."

With these newly announced performances, that celebration is beginning to wind down. For fans who have followed The Dillinger Escape Plan since its earliest days or discovered the band through the generations of artists it inspired this final run of Calculating Infinity shows marks one last opportunity to witness a landmark album performed live.
