UK Thrash Band Onslaught Announces First North American Tour in a Decade

British thrash metal veterans Onslaught are preparing to return to North America for their first full tour in over a decade. The band, known for its aggressive style and longstanding influence in the genre, confirmed a new run of shows set to begin later this year. While the full list of tour stops has not yet been released, Houston fans are watching closely for confirmation of a local date, given the region's strong metal following.

Onslaught last toured North America more than ten years ago. Their return signals renewed momentum for the group as they continue to promote their recent work and reconnect with fans across the United States and Canada. Metal communities nationwide are already expressing enthusiasm, anticipating a high-energy tour that blends classic material with newer tracks.

Why It Matters for Houston

Houston boasts one of the most active heavy music scenes in the country, drawing international acts of all sizes. Onslaught’s potential arrival would offer fans a rare opportunity to see a globally recognized thrash band that rarely tours in the region. Local venues, promoters, and musicians stand to benefit from the renewed attention this tour could generate.

What’s Next

Additional tour details—including city stops, ticket information, and venue announcements—are expected soon. Houston metal fans are encouraged to monitor official tour channels for updates. If Houston is added to the tour schedule, tickets are likely to move quickly as longtime fans seek their first chance in years to see Onslaught live.
