Two of punk and hardcore’s most enduring forces, Hot Water Music and Bane, have announced a co-headline U.S. tour for November 2025. The run will hit nine cities across the Midwest and East Coast, including stops in Cleveland Heights, OH (Nov. 5), Chicago, IL (Nov. 6), Richmond, VA (Nov. 9), Philadelphia, PA (Nov. 12), and Providence, RI (Nov. 14). Tickets go on sale Friday, August 1 at 10 a.m. local time.
Hot Water Music is touring in support of Vows, a bold and expansive album that pushes their influential punk sound into new territory. The record blends driving rhythms with melodic hooks and features collaborations with members of Turnstile, Thrice, City and Colour, Alexisonfire, The Interrupters, and Farside. Recorded with Brian McTernan, Vows shows the band continuing to evolve while holding onto the grit and urgency that have defined them for over three decades. The group also recently released a split EP with Quicksand, featuring covers of each other’s songs and new material from both bands.
Bane joins the tour following the release of Boston 6:58 PM, a long-awaited collection of rare EP tracks compiled as a single release for the first time. Originally limited to small pressings and never available digitally, these songs now reach a wider audience both on vinyl and streaming platforms. The band also celebrated the 25th anniversary of their debut It All Comes Down To This with a fully remixed and remastered edition, giving the album the sonic power it was always meant to have.
Both bands have built their legacies on intensity, community, and uncompromising energy, making this pairing a standout event for punk and hardcore fans. The November tour promises nights of raw, unfiltered performances from two groups who have shaped their genres while continuing to push forward.
Full tour dates and ticket details are available through each band’s official website.
