What to know before you go

Check the door time listed by the official ticket seller. Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes early to clear security and reach your section.
Security check: most venues prohibit professional cameras, large bags and outside food. Check the venue's official policy before traveling.
Bring the same payment card or QR code you used at checkout. Some venues no longer print physical tickets — phone screen is enough.
Dress for the genre and the weather — outdoor shows can get cold after sunset. Comfortable shoes for standing-only sections.

The GoAllConcerts take

Fear Factory is touring the United States with 34 dates between October and November 2026, which makes this a long run and not a quick stop. It opens on 16 October at the Capital City Music Hall in Harrisburg and continues through Stroudsburg, Leesburg, Glenside and Green Bay, among other cities. The band formed in Los Angeles in 1989 and blends industrial metal, groove metal and death metal. That makes it a fit for people who grew up with that sound and for anyone curious about how it plays today, with albums like Mechanize, Genexus and Aggression Continuum behind it. When buying, check the venue for each date, since some listings only show the tour name. The theatres early in the run, such as the Sherman Theater and the Keswick Theatre, are a good choice for hearing it up close.
