Decibel Magazine Tour 2026: Important Update on Lineup Changes
Fulci Unable to Perform
Due to unforeseen visa processing issues, the Italian death metal band Fulci will not be able to join the Decibel Magazine Tour this year, as well as the Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest: Philly 2026, scheduled for May 3. However, fans can look forward to Fulci’s return as part of the lineup for the 2027 Decibel Tour.
Spirit Adrift Steps In
In light of this change, Texas heavy metal outfit Spirit Adrift has graciously agreed to fill the gap left by Fulci. They will join an impressive roster that includes Montréal death metal pioneers Cryptopsy, Bay Area heavies Necrot, and D.C. deathgrinders Blood Monolith. The tour kicks off on April 30, marking Decibel’s 13th trek across North America.
Statement from Nate Garrett
“We were sorry to hear that our friends in Fulci are unable to make it to the States for the Decibel Tour,” said Nate Garrett, founder and frontman of Spirit Adrift. “But we’re honored to step in on short notice and make this happen. Since we announced the end of Spirit Adrift, a lot of y’all have been clamoring for a farewell tour, so here you go. Decibel magazine has always been so supportive of Spirit Adrift, so this was an offer we simply could not refuse.”
Garrett added, “We’re psyched to be the black sheep of the tour, old-school doom/heavy metal smack in the middle of a powerhouse lineup of incredible death metal bands. We’ll be playing songs from our new (and final) album Infinite Illumination, as well as highlights from our back catalog. Hopefully, we’ll see some of you long-time Spirit Adrift fans out there, and maybe we can even win over the more extreme metal fans. We’ll definitely be breaking our necks to ‘Slit Your Guts’ with y’all every night. Can’t wait!”
