Five Finger Death Punch Announces 2026 North American Tour Supporting USA Judo and USA Cycling
One of the world’s biggest hard rock bands, multi-platinum powerhouse Five Finger Death Punch announces the first leg of their 2026-2027 World tour. Produced by Live Nation, the massive 48-city tour kicks off on Monday, July 20th at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden, NJ, and wraps up in Bristow, VA at Jiffy Lube Live on Friday, October 23rd. Platinum-certified outlaw country musician Cody Jinks will join the tour as special guest and bring along his current album, “In My Blood”. The tour lineup will be rounded out by Eva Under Fire, who has earned critical acclaim, and will release a new album, “Villainous” in 2026.
In addition to celebrating two decades of music, the band is once again using its platform to give back. Long recognized as one of the most charitable bands in rock, Five Finger Death Punch has spent decades giving back to various causes, including U.S. military veterans and first responders and their families. In 2026, the band is expanding that mission with the launch of its campaign to support to support elite athletes in the sports of judo and BMX, and align with the upcoming Olympic Games being held on American soil. As part of the tour’s commitment to championing America’s next generation of athletes, a portion of the ticket sales from the 2026 U.S. Tour will be allocated to support the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee-recognized National Governing Bodies for judo and BMX as they prepare for international competition.
Founding guitarist Zoltan Bathory has selected USA Judo, the National Governing Body for Judo in the U.S., as his beneficiary, while vocalist Ivan Moody will direct his contribution to the USA Cycling BMX Racing & BMX Freestyle teams. “It’s a little-known fact that the United States is one of the only major countries in the world where the government does not fund Olympic and Paralympic athletes or their training programs,” says Bathory. “Our athletes are competing against nations with fully funded teams, while U.S. teams rely almost exclusively on private donations and sponsorships. We believe supporting Team USA is both patriotic and necessary, especially with the Olympic and Paralympic Games coming home in 2028.” Vocalist Ivan Moody added, “these athletes represent the best of who we are. Dedication, sacrifice, discipline. If we can help level the playing field even a little, we’re all in.”
All contributions will go to the National Governing Bodies responsible for training and developing Olympic competitors on both the Judo and USA Cycling BMX Teams. These contributions help fund essential resources for the athletes, covering coaching, travel, equipment, and the rigorous training required to compete on the world stage. With no direct government funding for U.S. Olympic and Paralympic sports, this initiative helps raise both financial support and awareness for the athletes who represent Team USA at the highest level. Five Finger Death Punch continues to stand at the intersection of music, and service, proving once again that success means nothing unless it’s shared.
“When Five Finger Death Punch learned that U.S. National Governing Bodies don’t receive government funding, they were surprised and immediately wanted to help spread the word. We’re honored by their passion for BMX and excited about the impact their support of USA Cycling will have,” said USA Cycling’s President & CEO, Brendan Quirk. “Our goal is to earn 10 cycling medals at the LA Olympic Games across our five Olympic disciplines, including BMX Racing and BMX Freestyle. Support like this is huge in helping us get there, and their commitment to raising awareness and inspiring even more generosity is a massive win for our program.”
BMX Freestyle Olympian Marcus Christopher went on to say, “USA Cycling has had one of the best BMX Freestyle teams in the world since the sport made its Olympic debut in 2021. With the LA Olympic Games coming up on home soil, there’s a lot of attention on us as we look to keep that momentum going. I’ve been listening to Five Finger Death Punch for years, so for them to recognize what it takes to get there and rally behind us is honestly a dream come true.”
