If your summer plans don’t involve sweat, distortion, and a sonic car crash of genres, you’re doing it wrong. The Taste of Armageddon Tour 2025 is roaring through the U.S. this July and August and it’s not coming quietly.
This unholy alliance brings together industrial punks Powerman 5000, Latin metal lifers Ill Niño, rapcore wildcards (HED) P.E., and Sweden’s icy synth goth crew Priest (yes, the one with ex Ghost members). Rounding out the carnage are upstart theatrical wrecking crew The Great Alone, injecting fresh blood into an already wild lineup.
This isn’t just a nostalgia trip, it’s a genre melting supernova. Think nu metal grit, industrial stomp, and apocalyptic theatrics fused into one hellraising tour built for pits, purging, and primal screams. Expect everything from horror show visuals to political venom, all dialled way past 11.
Powerman 5000 are still grinding that radioactive groove they built with ‘When Worlds Collide’. Ill Niño bring their signature cocktail of crushing riffs and Latin rhythms. (HED) P.E. smash punk, metal, and hip hop into a Molotov and light the fuse. Priest float in like cybernetic vampires, delivering synth heavy drama for the goths who moshed through Blade Runner. And The Great Alone? They’re coming in hungry, loud, explosive, and ready to ruin your hearing in the best way possible.
Not every stop gets the full lineup though, some cities may only get select bands from the bill, so don’t assume. It’s called Taste of Armageddon for a reason. Check your local listing before you rage.
