One of the world’s biggest hard rock bands, multi-platinum powerhouse Five Finger Death Punch announces the first leg of their 2026-2027 World tour. The massive 48-city tour kicks off in July and will make a stop in Cincinnati, OH at Riverbend Music Center on Monday, August 10. Platinum-certified outlaw country musician Cody Jinks will join the tour as special guest and bring along his current album, “In My Blood”. The tour lineup will be rounded out by Eva Under Fire, who has earned critical acclaim, and will release a new album, “Villainous” in 2026.
In addition to celebrating two decades of music, the band is once again using its platform to give back. Long recognized as one of the most charitable bands in rock, Five Finger Death Punch has spent decades giving back to various causes, including U.S. military veterans and first responders and their families. In 2026, the band is expanding that mission with the launch of its campaign to support Team USA and align with the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games being held on American soil in Los Angeles in 2028. As part of the tour’s commitment to championing America’s next generation of athletes, a portion of the ticket sales from the 2026 U.S. Tour will be allocated to support high-performance programs for U.S. athletes as they prepare for international competition.
Founding guitarist Zoltan Bathory has selected USA Judo, the National Governing Body for Judo in the U.S., as his beneficiary, while vocalist Ivan Moody will direct his contribution to the USA Cycling BMX Racing & BMX Freestyle teams. “It’s a little-known fact that the United States is one of the only major countries in the world where the government does not fund Olympic and Paralympic athletes or their training programs,” says Bathory. “Our athletes are competing against nations with fully funded teams, while U.S. teams rely almost exclusively on private donations and sponsorships. We believe supporting Team USA is both patriotic and necessary, especially with the Olympic and Paralympic Games coming home in 2028.” Vocalist Ivan Moody added, “these athletes represent the best of who we are. Dedication, sacrifice, discipline. If we can help level the playing field even a little, we’re all in.”
All contributions will go to the National Governing Bodies responsible for training and developing Olympic competitors on both the Judo and USA Cycling BMX Teams. These contributions help fund essential resources for the athletes, covering coaching, travel, equipment, and the rigorous training required to compete on the world stage. With no direct government funding for U.S. Olympic and Paralympic sports, this initiative helps raise both financial support and awareness for the athletes who represent Team USA at the highest level. Five Finger Death Punch continues to stand at the intersection of music, and service, proving once again that success means nothing unless it is shared.
The 20th Anniversary World Tour will showcase new material from the Five Finger Death Punch’s upcoming tenth studio album alongside the anthems that defined a generation of fans. Additional international tour dates will be announced following the North American leg.
The band’s current albums, “Best Of – Volume 1” and “Best Of – Volume 2”, feature newly re-recorded versions of Five Finger Death Punch’s biggest hits, including the #1 single “I Refuse” feat. Maria Brink (Vol. 1) and #1 single “The End” feat. BABYMETAL (Vol. 2). “The End” reached #1 on the Japanese iTunes Metal Chart and #18 on the Japanese All-Genres Chart, marking a major milestone for an international rock release. In the U.S., the song made history as the first track featuring Japanese lyrics to chart at Rock Radio, ultimately reaching #1. Both albums were created in response to the sale of the band’s original masters, a decision made without their knowledge or opportunity to reclaim them. Stream / buy HERE.

ABOUT CODY JINKS:
Cody Jinks has always built his career on his own terms. Growing up near Fort Worth, Texas, Jinks spent his formative musical years as the frontman of a thrash metal band called Unchecked Aggression. Throughout the early 2000s, he toured relentlessly but, ultimately, Jinks found himself drawn back to his Texas roots and the country music he'd grown up hearing. Jinks spent years playing small venues and building a grassroots following where he learned to disrupt the status quo with an industrious, do-it-yourself approach. His breakthrough came with the 2015 album Adobe Sessions (2015), a raw, honest collection of songs that resonated deeply with fans hungry for genuine country music. To date he has released eleven full-length albums that regularly chart near the top of Billboard Country and Independent albums charts and have staying power, to the tune of 5 billion streams across platforms and eight songs certified Platinum or Gold. In recognition of this hard work, Jinks was named Music Row’s 2023 Independent Artist of the Year—the second time he’s received this honor. Jinks’ new album, In My Blood is out now, HERE.
