Agnostic Front and Angel Du$t Team Up for East Coast Tour This Fall

Two of hardcore's most important acts are joining forces this fall. Agnostic Front and Angel Du$t have announced a co-headlining US tour running September 27 through October 9, with Jacksonville hardcore crew Step 2 This handling support on nearly every date.

This is a generational crossover in the best possible way. You've got Agnostic Front, who have been bulldozing through the New York hardcore scene for over four decades, paired with Angel Du$t, who came up out of the Trapped Under Ice lineage and have been carving their own lane ever since 2013. Both bands are riding fresh albums and sound hungry. I'll be real, this is the kind of bill that doesn't come together often.

Tickets go on sale Thursday, July 9 at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster.

The Tour Dates

The eleven-date run is a focused East Coast blitz. It kicks off in Richmond, VA at The Canal Club, dips through the Carolinas, rolls deep into Florida for five straight shows, then works its way back up through the Carolinas and Virginia before closing out in Reading, PA at Reverb Outdoor.

The Turnstile Connection

That September 29 Raleigh date is worth highlighting. Both Agnostic Front and Angel Du$t are hopping onto Turnstile's "Never Enough, Part 2" tour for the Red Hat Amphitheater show. Roger Miret called it out specifically, saying it'll be a chance to "celebrate the phenomenal evolution of Hardcore then and now." Honestly, seeing all three of these acts on one bill is a pretty wild convergence of the Baltimore/NYC hardcore timeline.

If you haven't been following the Turnstile connection here, it runs deep. Angel Du$t frontman Justice Tripp formed the band out of the remains of Trapped Under Ice, which shared members with Turnstile. Former Angel Du$t members Brendan Yates, Daniel Fang, and Pat McCrory all eventually left to focus fully on Turnstile as that band went stratospheric. So this Raleigh show is basically a family reunion.

Where Both Bands Are At Right Now

Agnostic Front dropped Echoes in Eternity in November 2025 on Reigning Phoenix Music. It's their 13th studio album and their first in six years, partly due to Roger Miret's cancer diagnosis back in 2021. Fifteen tracks in twenty-eight minutes. Pure aggression, no filler. The record also features their first recordings with drummer Danny Lamagna and includes a standout collab with Darryl "DMC" McDaniels of Run-DMC on "Matter of Life & Death." Four decades in and Agnostic Front are still swinging.

Angel Du$t released Cold 2 the Touch in February 2026 via Run For Cover Records. It's their sixth album and the first to feature drummer Nick Lewis and guitarist Jim Carroll (of American Nightmare and The Hope Conspiracy). The guest list is stacked too. Scott Vogel of Terror shows up on "Pain Is A Must," Wes Eisold of American Nightmare and Cold Cave appears on "Zero," and Frank Carter goes off on "Man On Fire." Producer Brian McTernan, who also worked on Turnstile records, handled the recording. Justice Tripp has been through a lot personally, including a hospitalization in 2022 after stroke-like symptoms tied to a mental breakdown. This album feels like a full reset for the band.

Don't Sleep on Step 2 This

The support act on this run deserves your attention. Step 2 This is a Jacksonville, FL hardcore band riding the Lockin' Out revival wave, pulling from 2000s Boston hardcore with a hip-hop edge. They dropped their debut EP The First Step in January 2026 through Armageddon Records and have been gaining momentum fast. Getting on a bill with Agnostic Front and Angel Du$t is a serious look for them.

Get Your Tickets

These are small to mid-size venues. The Masquerade's Hell room, Lincoln's Beard in Miami, the Albatross in Jacksonville. This tour is going to be loud, sweaty, and packed. If you're anywhere on the East Coast and you care about hardcore, don't sit on this. Tickets go on sale Thursday, July 9 at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster. Grab them before they're gone.
