After first re-emerging in 2024 under the direction of Max Cavalera (Soulfly, Cavalera, Killer Be Killed), the industrial metal project Nailbomb is officially hitting the road this summer for a run of European and UK festival dates.
Originally formed by Cavalera and Alex Newport (Fudge Tunnel) in the mid-’90s, the band famously dissolved in 1995 after just one album and a live release. Now operating without Newport, the newly revived Nailbomb has announced its full 2025 lineup and tour routing.
In a statement shared on June 17th, the band said:
“Pulling themselves back out of the vault since 2017, activist band Nailbomb returns to the stages, this time with a European tour on the August festival circuit.”
The 2025 lineup features:
- Max Cavalera (Soulfly, GAAD, Cavalera, Killer Be Killed)
- Igor Cavalera (Cavalera, GAAD, Healing Magic)
- Jackie Cruz (GAAD, Jade Helm)
- Travis Stone (Cavalera, Pig Destroyer)
- Adam Jarvis (Pig Destroyer, Scour)
- Alex Cha (Pig Destroyer)
Note: Adam Jarvis and Alex Cha will not appear at Bloodstock or Alcatraz Festival. They will be replaced by Chris Moore (Repulsion, Coke Bust, Vosh) and Demir Soyer (Goetia) for those select shows.

No Alex, no Nailbomb
McMurpley Johnstone has Alex made a statement about this tour? I’d still go see it if it came to the US and Newport was cool with it. He just may be at the age where touring just doesn’t interest him.
Louis Guidry its got nothing to do with touring. Max hella fucked him over years ago and theres still some shit there
McMurpley Johnstone For all the crying he does about Sepultura. Well, Nailbomb just isn’t the same without Alex. Who’s playing all the guitar riffs while Max plays with his microphone?
McMurpley Johnstone nao fala bosta
Hungary?🤘😔✌️
Zoltán Lakatos ,már a helyèben nem eröltettnèm a zenèlèst.

Mick Mongoose Harris well Mick mongoose that milkman is the godfather of this whole shit stood on his own 2 feet grind out a career  and has every right to keep going.  shame on you, Mick. You’re the type of person that is shit on anybody’s progress because you don’t got nothing going on in your own life right on good talk. I hope to see you in the pit bitch.
Mick Mongoose Harris pretty sure you would do it for free.
The Cavaleras need money, nothing new. Talking bullshit of Sepultura but the last 10 years they’re playing any Sepultura record on tour milking the band they hate 🤡
Another cavalera’s tribute band?
Go a head & die 🤘
Sudamerica?
The comments are ridiculous. Let Cavalera bé, assholes.
The current Sepultura has been aeons better than anything Max has done with Soulfly.
Mustafa Khan es verdad ,cavalera lo nuevo es malisimo
Mustafa Khan but it’s not soulfly they’re talking about, lol but thanks for your opinion.
No Newport, no Nailbomb.🖕
And Alex Newport
Zoltán Farek Farkas
I guess Max really needs the cash, if doing Sepultura albums under his name isn’t enough n now this?
Most of you, people crack me up. You want to criticize a man because he loves music and loves doing different things and just doing his thing when it’s all his music anyway. If you’re all so much better and need to criticize then why don’t you go do something and show him up? It’s easy to be a couch potato from home and criticize somebody when none of you have even an inkling of his talent.
Michael Anthony i couldnt have said it better !!
