Canada's very own progressive metallers Protest the Hero are touring with Kaonashi, Choke and Royal Tusk. This "Within Canada" will be a November and December and will be in, as the name suggests, Canada. The dates will feature new material for the first time in five years from Protest the Hero.
There are no other confirmed US shows for Kaonashi for the rest of 2026 - though they are currently on tour with The Callous Daoboys - so this will be your only option currently for seeing them play. Choke and Royal Tusk will share support duties, while Kaonashi are here for both a good time and a long time, and will be on all dates for this run.
For our Japanese readers, the Protest the Hero and Kaonashi will be playing with Sikth and other openers for two dates in Japan. Thes will be Kaonashi's first-ever shows in Japan.
