"We’re honored to be rocking this with some of our favorite bands right now!! No Pressure, Haywire , and all the way from Australia Secret World!! Shout out to everyone who pieced it together with the Santa Cruz show flyer!!" - DRAIN on the tour announcement
DRAIN has three more shows this year which includes two dates in Orlando, Florida as part of the Vans Warped Tour on November 15th and 16th. They will then wrap the year up with a show on November 23rd as part of Viva Pomona in Pomona, California. The band will also be kicking 2026 off with a headlining performance at the 12th annual FYA Festival in Orlando, Florida on January 11th and will be making their Coachella debut on April 19th, immediately following the tour's conclusion. Tickets for all shows can be found here.
…IS YOUR FRIEND is the culmination of an album that was written for the road Unlike their earlier releases, which were written before the band was touring nonstop, this album is informed by hundreds of nights spent onstage, paying attention to which moments make crowds lose their minds. The result is a record designed to maximize chaos and connection. Its 10-song tracklist includes the heaviest mosh parts, the catchiest choruses, the tastiest thrash riffs, and the most screamable lyrics DRAIN have ever written.Â
