Thornhill Announce 2026 North American ‘Mercia’ Tour With 156/Silence, Fox Lake & vianova

After a breakout year fueled by the release of their widely praised album ‘BODIES’, Australian alternative metal standouts Thornhill are set to carry that momentum into 2026 with a newly announced North American headlining tour. The run follows extensive touring behind the record, including a high-profile support slot on Sleep Token’s sold-out, first-ever U.S. arena tour.

The upcoming trek will feature support from 156/Silence, Fox Lake, and vianova, bringing together a diverse cross-section of modern metalcore and heavy alternative sounds. Thornhill have dubbed the run the ‘Mercia’ Tour, named after their latest single.
