Chad Gray is set to keep the madness going throughout 2026, with the veteran metal vocalist having announced another round of solo dates celebrating the music of Mudvayne and Hellyeah. Following his spring run of “30 Years of Madness” from earlier this year, Gray’s next tour begins in August, and will find him hitting tracks from both of his classic bands. He noted in an Instagram post today (June 9th) that the “Madness” tour was originally conceived as an acoustic solo performance of “music from two bands that I worked and toiled tirelessly for 30 years to make successful, being played from the same stage, on the same night.” That evolved to become a full-band enterprise, where Gray has been joined on-stage by Mudvayne touring guitarist Marcus Rafferty, drummer Devin Attard, bassist Nick Villarreal and guitarist Joe Bonasorte. “Since the beginning, I’ve wanted to bring this to all my fans everywhere. From here in America and everywhere abroad. And now I have the opportunity, so I’m gonna take it,” Gray said in a statement. “This fall, I’m hopefully going to come to a town near you and we are gonna walk in a room, let go of life and its problems and have some fucking fun! That has been my mission statement and mantra from the beginning of this. Let’s just have fun!” The Chadness tour starts August 28th in Bloomington, Indiana, and runs into late October for a finale in Nashville, Tennessee. Along the way, Gray also makes fest stops at Louder Than Life and Aftershock. Joining Gray on the headline dates will be support acts Butcher Babies and Devil s Cut. Presales begin today at 12 p.m. local, while general ticket sales go live this Friday (June 12th) at 10 a.m. local. You’ll find the show schedule below.
