Acid Bath Announce Asheville Show With Melvins & Kylesa This September

Reunited sludge metal legends Acid Bath have confirmed a special September performance in Asheville, North Carolina — marking their only North Carolina/South Carolina-area appearance of 2026.

The show will take place September 5th at Hellbender in Asheville, NC, featuring support from heavy music icons Melvins and Kylesa. A “very special guest” set to serve as direct support will be revealed this July.

Presale tickets are available now using the code ‘BURNFACE’, while the general onsale launches Friday, March 13th at 10:00am EST.

The newly announced date arrives amid an already busy return schedule for Acid Bath, which includes festival appearances, headline shows, and a massive European stadium run alongside System Of A Down and Queens Of The Stone Age.
