Armored Saint has confirmed a North American co-headlining tour with Metal Church, set to begin on November 2 in San Juan Capistrano, California and conclude on November 21 in Agoura Hills, California. The tour, dubbed the Metal Saint Tour 2026, features support from LiveKill. The event follows recent shows in Europe where both bands received strong fan reactions.

A second leg of the tour has been announced for Spring 2027, beginning March 19 in Austin, Texas and ending April 10 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Support for this leg will be provided by One Machine. The decision to extend the tour was driven by fan demand and the significance of celebrating two influential ’80s metal acts with new releases in 2026.

The 2026 tour includes stops in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and the Pacific Northwest. The 2027 leg will cover Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, Utah, and Nevada.

Armored Saint’s ninth studio album, Emotion Factory Reset, was released earlier this year on Metal Blade Records and is a key part of the band’s current activity. The tour marks a significant milestone in the band’s ongoing legacy and reaffirms their presence in the heavy metal scene.
