The band's headline run kicks off July 27 in Savannah, Georgia, bookended by major European arena dates and a South American leg later in the year.

Wolfgang Van Halen's Mammoth has announced a new batch of summer 2026 tour dates in support of The End, the band's 2025 album. The newly announced headline run opens July 27 at Victory North in Savannah, Georgia, and closes Aug. 8 at the Monroe State Fair in Monroe, Michigan. The dates are sandwiched between a run of high-profile European arena shows and previously announced dates supporting Bush and Creed.

A Full-Calendar 2026 for Mammoth WVH

The new headline dates represent just one slice of an exceptionally busy 2026 for Mammoth. The band is currently on the road as part of a Bush-led package alongside James and the Cold Gun, with dates running through mid-May. They also have previously announced dates with Creed on the schedule, including stops in Edmonton, Winnipeg, Tinley Park, Huntsville, Orange Beach, and Tupelo.

Between those support slots, Mammoth will cross the Atlantic for a substantial European run. That stretch includes arena-level stops at Dublin's 3Arena on June 10, the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam on June 18 and 20, Berlin's Uber Arena on June 23 and 25, the AFAS Dome in Antwerp on June 28, and two nights at Paris's Accor Arena on July 1 and 3. The band will also appear at festival dates including Download Festival 2026 in Derby on June 14 and Graspop Metal Meeting in Dessel, Belgium, on June 19.

The North American Headline Run

The newly announced headline concerts begin July 27 at Victory North in Savannah, Georgia. From there, the band moves through Chattanooga's Barrelhouse Ballroom, Raleigh's Lincoln Theatre, House of Blues Myrtle Beach, Baltimore's Nevermore Hall, Virginia Beach's Elevation 27, Mickey's Black Box in Lititz, Pennsylvania, and Empire Live in Albany, New York, before wrapping Aug. 8 at the Monroe State Fair in Monroe, Michigan.

Several of the headline dates carry support from other acts. The Myrtle Beach and Baltimore shows — both rescheduled from earlier 2026 dates — feature 10 Years as the supporting act. The Omaha date at The Astro Theater, rescheduled from November 2025, lists Big Wreck as support. A pair of standalone headline shows in Des Moines and Omaha also appear on the itinerary.

The End and Mammoth's Growing Radio Footprint

The tour supports The End, released in 2025 and the third Mammoth album recorded entirely by Van Halen himself — handling vocals, guitar, bass, drums, and piano on the LP. Two tracks from the record have already reached No. 1 at rock radio: the title track and ‘The Spell.' Those join ‘Distance' and ‘Don't Back Down,' from the band's 2021 debut Mammoth WVH, giving the group four No. 1 singles in its catalog.

On the road, Van Halen is joined by guitarists Jon Jourdan and Frank Sidoris, bassist Ronnie Ficarro, and drummer Garrett Whitlock. After the North American headline run concludes in August, Mammoth is scheduled to head to South America and return to Europe for additional performances running from October through the end of 2026.

What we know

  • Mammoth's newly announced headline run begins July 27 at Victory North in Savannah, Georgia, and ends Aug. 8 at the Monroe State Fair in Monroe, Michigan.
  • The End, released in 2025, is Mammoth's third album and was recorded entirely by Wolfgang Van Halen, who played all instruments including bass, drums, and piano.
  • Two songs from The End — the title track and ‘The Spell' — have reached No. 1 at rock radio, giving Mammoth four No. 1 singles overall.
  • Mammoth's live band includes guitarists Jon Jourdan and Frank Sidoris, bassist Ronnie Ficarro, and drummer Garrett Whitlock.
  • European dates include shows at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, 3Arena in Dublin, Uber Arena in Berlin, AFAS Dome in Antwerp, and two nights at Accor Arena in Paris.

  • Mammoth is currently on tour with Bush and also has previously announced dates with Creed.

The take

Wolfgang Van Halen has spent five years methodically building Mammoth WVH into one of hard rock's most credible active acts — no small feat given the weight of the Van Halen name and the scrutiny that comes with it. The band's trajectory mirrors a pattern seen with other legacy-adjacent artists who had to prove themselves on their own terms: early skepticism giving way to genuine radio traction, followed by the kind of festival and arena bookings that reflect real market demand rather than nostalgia tourism. Four No. 1 rock radio singles across two albums is a benchmark that many established acts would envy. The European leg of this tour is particularly telling. Slots at Download, Graspop, and Copenhell — three of the continent's most respected heavy rock festivals — alongside headline arena dates in Amsterdam, Berlin, and Paris signal that Mammoth has broken through internationally, not just domestically. The dual-night bookings at the Ziggo Dome, Uber Arena, and Accor Arena suggest strong enough demand to justify back-to-back shows at venues that seat thousands. The North American headline run, by contrast, is deliberately scaled to mid-capacity rooms — a smart strategy for a band still consolidating its own headline draw rather than coasting on festival or support-slot exposure. The mix of support slots with Bush and Creed alongside standalone headline dates reflects a calculated approach to building an audience from multiple angles simultaneously.

Why it matters

For Classic Rock fans watching the next generation of the form take shape, Mammoth WVH represents one of the more compelling cases in recent memory. Wolfgang Van Halen isn't trading on his father's catalog — he's building his own, and the radio numbers and booking tier back that up. A 2026 schedule that spans festival stages, European arenas, and intimate North American headline rooms shows a band operating with genuine strategic intent. For the broader hard rock ecosystem, Mammoth's continued ascent is a reminder that the genre still produces acts capable of earning their place on merit.

What's next

Mammoth is currently on the road with Bush through mid-May. The European run begins June 4 in Gliwice, Poland, and runs through early July. The North American headline dates open July 27 in Savannah and close Aug. 8 in Monroe, Michigan. Following those dates, the band is scheduled for South American and European performances from October through the end of 2026.
