Crowbar in Phoenix, United States 2026

Crowbar has nine dates between October and November 2026, and most of them are packed into the American South: San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta and Nashville within a single week. The band plays sludge metal and formed in New Orleans in 1989, so seeing a group with more than three decades behind it in mid-sized rooms like the Aztec Theatre or The Masquerade makes sense. This is for people who want slow, low-tuned weight up close, not a stadium show. When buying, check the venue and the city before the day, since the run also stops in Sale, in the United Kingdom, in November.

The Van Buren suits people who would rather see a show in a building with a past than in a generic hall. It sits in the former Phoenix Motor Company building, put up in 1929 and designed by Lescher & Mahoney, the same architects behind the Orpheum Theatre, in the middle of downtown Phoenix. The calendar has weight: our catalogue lists 22 dates from October 2026 to April 2027, with Skillet, Periphery, Ensiferum, Rhapsody Of Fire and El Tri. It is a room for metal, rock and Latin music fans who want to stand close to the band. When you buy, check each night's bill, since two names share a date in October 2026, and confirm who headlines before you pick a ticket.
