Fifteen years since we last hit mainland Greece,” the Instagram caption reads , teasing the band's return with a high-energy metal experience for the upcoming tour. “Brace yourselves; the ONSLAUGHT is coming!”
View this post on InstagramSince the beginning of the year, the quintet has been on the road for the European leg of the Force From Hell Tour, which ran from January through February.
Following the European run, the band embarked on a co-headlining tour with U.S. cult heavy metal icons Warlord, billed as The Force From Hell & Deliverance Tour 2026. The first leg, which ran from March through April, visited cities across North America.
The run marked the band’s first North American headline tour in more than a decade.
At that time, the band promised intense nights of “pure chaos” featuring “Keeler’s era classics,” calling it “Thrash Metal history in the making.”
Metal Hall of Fame inductee Nige Rockett expressed his excitement about returning to the U.S. for the band's first full tour in more than a decade, while also hinting at the possibility of a second leg.
“Super stoked to be returning to the States for our first full tour in 11 years and with Sy Keeler back at the helm, it’s gonna be mega!” Nige Rockett said in their Facebook post, teasing the possibility of a second leg. “This is just Part 1; we’re bringing this tour to the entire USA so that nobody gets to miss out on this epic setlist! See you in the Pit!
The band’s continued touring comes more than three decades after the thrash metal group disbanded in 1991, following its debut in 1982.
After 13 years apart, Onslaught reunited in late 2004, marking the beginning of a new chapter and ushering in the band's second era.
