Deathcore titans Whitechapel are marking two decades of brutality the best way they know how: by hitting the road for what promises to be the biggest headlining tour of their career.
The Knoxville veterans have announced a massive North American run celebrating their 20th anniversary. Kicking off November 11 in Atlanta, Georgia, and wrapping up December 18 in Pelham, Tennessee, the tour will see the band digging deep into their catalog with a setlist spanning every era of their career.
Joining Whitechapel on the trek are fellow deathcore heavyweights Chelsea Grin and The Acacia Strain, alongside rising newcomers Netherwalker.
“We are excited to announce our 20th Anniversary Tour taking place this Fall,” says guitarist Alex Wade. “We would have never believed we would have made it 20 years after we started this band in 2006, but here we are celebrating it, and we are proud that we are undertaking our largest headline tour to date to commemorate that.”
Wade also confirmed that no chapter of the band’s history will be ignored.
“We will be playing songs from our entire discography, no albums left out, so if you want to see us play our longest set in the biggest venues we’ve ever played, get your tickets now and don’t miss out.”
Fans looking for the full experience can grab VIP packages through Sound Rink beginning June 10. Packages include a meet-and-greet with the band, a photo opportunity, early venue access, exclusive merchandise, a signed poster, commemorative laminate, and a Whitechapel foam hand. soundrink.co/WHITECHAPEL
General ticket sales begin Friday, June 12 at 10:00 a.m. local time.

The announcement arrives on the heels of Hymns In Dissonance, Whitechapel’s latest full-length and arguably one of the heaviest records of their modern era. Rather than easing into their third decade as a band, the album finds Whitechapel doubling down on everything that made them a force in extreme music in the first place: crushing riffs, unrelenting intensity, and enough sonic violence to level a small city.
Fans responded accordingly. The album debuted at No. 2 on Billboard’s Current Hard Rock Albums chart while also landing at No. 3 on the Independent Label Current Albums chart, No. 4 on the Current Rock Albums chart, and No. 7 on the Digital Albums chart during its first week of release.
