The Taste of Chaos tour is officially making its return this fall with a stacked lineup led by Hollywood Undead and In This Moment. The revived run will also feature support from I See Stars and Sleep Theory across a month-long trek through the United States.
Originally launched in the mid-2000s, Taste of Chaos became known as one of the defining touring festivals of the post-hardcore, metalcore, emo, and hard rock boom. Over the years, the tour hosted acts including The Used, My Chemical Romance, Killswitch Engage, Deftones, Taking Back Sunday, and 30 Seconds to Mars. The 2026 edition taps into that same era-spanning energy while pairing veteran acts with newer artists currently gaining momentum in heavy music circles.
Hollywood Undead are expected to bring new music into the setlist following recent teases from the band, while In This Moment continue touring behind their latest material and theatrical live production. I See Stars also remain one of the more influential names tied to the electronicore wave that exploded during the original Taste of Chaos era. Sleep Theory round out the package as one of modern hard rock’s fastest-rising breakout acts.
The tour kicks off September 22 in Charlotte, North Carolina and wraps October 26 in Anaheim, California.
