Punk Vets Hot Water Music Announce North American & European Tours

Official Announcement | Published: Jun 22, 2026 5:14 PM EDT

(CCM) Punk vets Hot Water Music have announced their remaining 2026 live performances. Spanning July through September, the band will be making headline and festival appearances, performing shows in Europe, and supporting The Menzingers across all regions of the U.S.

Sacrifice. Loyalty. Camaraderie. These aren't just words, they are the qualities that have defined Hot Water Music's songs, lyrics and ideology for the past three decades. However, instead of celebrating 30 years of existence with a nostalgia lap or formulaic album, the band decided to mark this milestone with their most ambitious collection of songs to date. Correspondingly, Vows sees the band taking their pioneering punk sound to bold new heights via inventive arrangements, pop-friendly sensibilities and a new generation of musical guests that include Brendan Yates and Daniel Fang of Turnstile, Thrice, Dallas Green of City and Colour and Alexisonfire, The Interrupters, and Popeye Vogelsang of Calling Hours and melodic hardcore greats Farside.

Additionally, Hot Water Music also released its four-song split EP with Quicksand in late 2024. Featuring classics covered by each band from Quickand's Slip and Hot Water Music's No Division, the EP also features the unreleased tracks "Supercollider," Quicksand's first new song since 2021's Distant Populations, and "Undertow," a new Hot Water Music song lifted from its Brian McTernan-produced Vows sessions.
