Anciients extend 2025 North American tour: Ticket info, new dates, venues, and more explored

Canadian progressive metal band Anciients are officially returning to U.S. stages after nearly a decade. The Vancouver-based group recently launched their first American tour in eight years. This leg supports their third studio album, Beyond the Reach of the Sun. The record won the 2025 Juno Award for Metal/Hard Music Album of the Year.

Now, the band has announced a second run of dates. Anciients' extended leg will begin in late October 2025. It will cover multiple cities across Eastern Canada, the Midwest, and the East Coast of the U.S. Psych rockers Howling Giant will join as support for much of this run.

The newly announced shows are all set to take Anciients to Toronto, Montreal, New York City, Philadelphia, and more before wrapping up at the end of November 2025.

Anciients shared the trek expansion announcement via an official Instagram post, captioning:

"We are very excited to announce we will be hitting the road again this fall with our friends in @howlinggiant. We will be playing a lot of places we have not been to in a long time. Tickets are on sale now. Let's Rage!!!!"

Beyond the Reach of the Sun is Anciients' third studio album, which was released in August 2024. The record includes tracks such as Is It Your God, Celestial Tyrant, and The Torch.
