Godsticks will be touring in the UK over the next few months.
The band said: “We’re so excited to share these new gig dates and extend the VOiD tour further into 2026. It was great to finally present the new material live and showcase the next evolution of Godsticks in our first five shows this past April, with every performance seeing the band get stronger and tighter. Now as well as adding another festival appearance at Cambridge Rock Festival, we can’t wait to take our full headline set to new places across the U.K along with a few familiar haunts.

LEAP
LEAP have announced a huge tour across the world, with some UK and Ireland shows too!
“This is definitely the biggest pinch-me moment we’ve had so far.” says singer Jacky Scott.
“We started touring 3 years ago and that was playing to rooms of under 100 people in venues like coffee shops and village halls. So now announcing our first-ever world tour with a bunch of thousand-capacity rooms feels so surreal. Honestly, the feeling of people singing along and moshing to our tunes is something we’ll never get used to, but to do it in bigger rooms and share that space with so many beautiful people, it’s so exciting. It’s also the final part of our debut album campaign, which is kinda bittersweet cause this record changed our lives and we’re so proud of what we did fully independently, but we’re also so hyped to start sharing new music with Epitaph on board. World tour to close the Entropy chapter. Insanity.”
