DEAD PIONEERS ANNOUNCE UK AND EU DATES FOR FEBRUARY/MARCH 2026

TICKETS GO ON SALE 9AM FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19^TH

TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE:

Following their first UK and EU gigs back in May this year, Dead Pioneers, the indigenous punk rock band from Denver, Colorado are set to return in February and March 2026 for their first headline tour.

Supporting their critically acclaimed second album ‘PO$T AMERICAN’, released earlier this year through Hassle Records, the bands unique blend of spoken word, hypnotic post-rock and punk roots has quickly caught the imagination of music fans searching for something new, something real and a band with something to say.

“We’re excited to be heading back to the UK and EU,” says frontman Gregg Deal. “Our time there last spring was eye-opening and an overwhelmingly fantastic experience. As we continue to grow, we’re deeply moved by those of you who grow with us—giving us the chance to share our music, our message, and space together. In these tumultuous and uncertain times, we’re especially grateful to connect with like-minded folks in the joy of music. It’s all love, friends, and we’re moved by it. See you in the spring!”

Tickets go on sale this Friday, September 19^th at 9am. Go HERE for tickets.

Support for all UK shows comes from Yakkie, featuring Janey Starling formerly of Dream Nails.

Dead Pioneers emerged as a dynamic extension of vocalist Gregg Deal’s performance art, seamlessly blending music with critical cultural commentary. Rooted in the same themes of identity and resistance that define his visual work, the band’s sound acts as a powerful platform for addressing the complexities of Indigenous experience. Deal harnesses the raw energy of punk and alternative influences to challenge prevailing narratives, using lyrics that provoke thought and evoke emotion. Just as his performance art confronts the legacies of colonization and systemic marginalization, Dead Pioneers – completed by Josh Rivera and Abe Brennan on guitars, bassist Lee Tesche (Algiers) and drummer Shane Zweygardt – engages audiences in a visceral dialogue about survival, resilience, and reclamation of voice. This musical endeavour not only amplifies his artistic vision but also creates a space for collective expression and solidarity, inviting listeners to reflect on the intersections of culture, history, and identity in a contemporary context. Through Dead Pioneers, Deal continues to assert that art, in all its forms, can be a powerful vehicle for activism and change. 

The band are currently playing shows in the US and working on new material and will start recording their third album later this year.
