Malevolence have announced a 14-date run of the UK and Ireland for February 2027. The United Kingdom of Chaos ’27 tour, also billed as Ireland of Chaos, starts in Southampton on 4th February. It takes in England, Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland, and ends in the band’s hometown of Sheffield on 20th February.
Guilt Trip, described as Manchester hardcore heroes, and Bodyweb, described as Leeds hardcore punks, provide support.
The band say the tour is “an intentional celebration of the beautiful heavy music scene that we have right here, right now on our little island and the amazing artists that it has cultivated.” They add: “A proper UK run with a full UK line up in support, and a bonus show for our brothers and sisters in Ireland and Northern Ireland.”
