As I Lay Dying will return to Russia in 2026 for a larger-scale run celebrating the 20th anniversary of their breakthrough album Shadows Are Security. The U.S. metalcore veterans first launched the anniversary tour in Russia earlier this fall, despite many Western artists continuing to steer clear of touring in the country amid ongoing international tensions tied to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
After testing the waters with three packed shows this past October, the band confirmed this morning (December 09th) that they’ll be back for a much bigger routing — this time in arenas. In a collective statement, they shared:
“After 3 sold out shows, we have been invited back to Russia for an arena tour. See you all in March!
Thank you for so many great memories already and more to come.”
That upcoming run is set to hit the following cities:
03/03 Krasnodar, RUS – Krop Arena Krasnodar
03/04 Rostov-on-Don, RUS – Krop Arena Rostov
03/07 Kazan, RUS – Korston Club
03/08 Nizhny Novgorod, RUS – Milo Concert Hall
03/10 Samara, RUS – Metelica C
03/12 Ufa, RUS – Ogni Ufy
03/14 Chelyabinsk, RUS – MTS Live Hall
03/16 Novosibirsk, RUS – Ice Sports Palace Sibir
03/18 Irkutsk, RUS – Concert Hall
03/20 Vladivostok, RUS – Fetisov Arena
This marks the band’s first major touring development since Tim Lambesis rebuilt the lineup following another wave of departures late last year. Their revamped roster took the stage for the first time during those October shows — and with demand already proven, the story of Shadows Are Security is far from finished.

Shit 🤮
You spent money on the wrong dude
I got my tickets
How strange must it feel to have 4/5 of the people in the band not write or have anything whatsoever to do with an album that they’re playing the 20th anniversary of.
Mason I mean it’s a job
Seneca Mark Andrew Homeyer just feels like one person patting themselves on the back while four other people are like “….yay….we did it…”
Mason Solimine still sounds like a job, but with back pats instead of company pizza parties
