Taste of Chaos Returns With Hollywood Undead and In This Moment This Fall

The Taste of Chaos tour is back. After a full decade away, the legendary touring brand that helped define the mid-2000s rock scene has officially announced its return, and the 2026 edition looks nothing like the post-hardcore roots it grew from. This time around, Hollywood Undead and In This Moment are co-headlining a 23-date run across the U.S. this fall, with I See Stars, Vana, and Melrose Avenue rounding out the support lineup.

For those who weren't around for the original run, Taste of Chaos first launched in 2005 under Vans Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman. It was a staple of the punk, post-hardcore, and metalcore world throughout the late 2000s before its last edition in 2016. This resurrection has a very different energy, leaning heavily into the Sumerian Records camp, and honestly, I think the pairing of Hollywood Undead and In This Moment as co-headliners makes for a really compelling bill. Both bands bring massive stage production and completely different vibes, which means every night on this tour should feel like two distinct headline experiences.

New Music From Both Headliners

The tour announcement arrived alongside fresh music from both bands. Hollywood Undead dropped a brand new single today called "Feels Like Home" via Sumerian Records. The band described it as "a song for the broken, a reminder that they're not alone and that with us, they're right at home." It's the latest in a strong run of singles that started with "Hollywood Forever" back in October 2024, which cracked 20.3 million cross-platform streams and peaked at No. 18 on Active Rock radio. That was followed by "SAVIOR" in June 2025, "1x1" in March 2026 (which sampled Slayer's "Raining Blood" riff), and "All My Friends" featuring Jeris Johnson. This Sumerian era has been huge for them. The masks are back, the sound is sharper, and nearly two decades into their career, they're hitting harder than ever.

In This Moment also released a new track to mark the announcement. "Sleeping With the Enemy" is their first song of 2026 and follows last year's "Heretic" collaboration with Kim Dracula. Vocalist Maria Brink has said the upcoming album is about "confronting the darkness, whether it's inside us or external." Both tracks are expected to land on the band's ninth studio album, which will be released through Better Noise Music as the follow-up to 2023's Godmode. Full album details haven't been announced yet, but this tour run will likely be the first chance fans get to hear that new material live.

Why This Tour Matters

I'll be real, this is a stacked bill. Hollywood Undead are sitting at over 3.2 billion cross-platform streams, more than 1 billion YouTube views, and 4.1 million monthly Spotify listeners. They've been platinum since their 2008 debut Swan Songs and haven't slowed down. In This Moment are Grammy-nominated with over two billion career streams and a catalog that includes gold-selling records and platinum singles. Maria Brink's live show is one of the most theatrical in rock right now. Put them together under the Taste of Chaos banner and you've got something that feels genuinely special.
