DRAIN kicks off tour
Hardcore punk outfit DRAIN launched their biggest-ever tour with a kickoff date in Dallas this week — signals the band is scaling up to larger venues and markets. Fans are sharing live clips and the tour buzz is trending across scenes (x.com).
DRAIN’s spring outing is billed as the “…Is Your Friend” U.S. tour, a 19-date run that opened March 19, 2026 at AM/FM (formerly Ferris Wheelers) in Dallas.

(drain831.com) Multiple big-market stops were marked “Sold Out” or showing waitlists on the official dates page, including Union Transfer (Philadelphia), Irving Plaza and Warsaw (New York), and Concord Music Hall (Chicago). (drain831.com) Audience records from the March 19 Dallas show captured by setlist.fm list a full main-stage sequence featuring several tracks from …Is Your Friend — including “Feel the Pressure,” “Nights Like These” and “FTS (KYS)” — confirming the band leaned heavily on the new album in its opener.
