Bad Wolves will join Skillet on the latter band’s fall 2026 U.S. headline tour, with Escape the Fate also on the bill. The tour will place Bad Wolves alongside Skillet’s anniversary-focused set, which commemorates the 20th anniversary of the latter band’s 2006 album “Comatose.”
The 24-date trek begins Sept. 30 at Proctors Theatre in Schenectady, New York, and will travel through major markets including Philadelphia, Boston, Detroit, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Denver, Seattle, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Dallas and San Antonio before wrapping in Orlando, Florida on Nov. 10 at the House of Blues.
The newly announced run will give Bad Wolves vocalist Sara “Killboy” Skinner her first live performances with the band, which began a new chapter following the release of “Paint It Red,” the band’s first single of 2026. Released through Better Noise Music, the song introduced Skinner as the group’s new singer. She replaces the previous lineup’s frontman and joins drummer and songwriter John Boecklin, guitarist AJ Rebollo and bassist Derek Bolman. The track also is expected to make its live debut during the upcoming tour. “I’m stoked that our first tour together will be with SKILLET and ESCAPE THE FATE,” Skinner said, adding that the band is ready to bring its new era to the stage while performing both newer material and established songs.
