Two bands in American hardcore and punk, Hot Water Music and Bane, are officially teaming up this fall for a newly announced tour.
The outfits have announced a nine-date co-headlining tour that is set to hit some relatively small venues across the Midwest and East Coast in November 2025, with one additional show where Hot Water Music will go it alone.
The tour has been set to kick off on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, in Cleveland Heights, OH, and wrap up on Saturday, November 15, 2025, in Hampton Beach, NH. The final date will feature only Hot Water Music.
Bane took to their official Instagram page to announce the upcoming co-headlining tour, captioning:
"SMALL STAGES & NO BARRICADES!!! We have been waiting to go out with @hotwatermusicofficial since we were young kids going to see them at The Space in Worcester, Massachusetts. WE CAN NOT WAIT FOR THIS AND ARE SOOOO EXCITED TO SHARE THE STAGE WITH THEM. Tickets go on sale this Friday. The rooms are small, stage dives will be had. This is going to be wild."
Hot Water Music mentioned:
"Tickets on sale 8.1.25 at 10 AM east coast time"
Hot Water Music was formed in Gainesville, Florida, in 1994. They have spent over 30 years in the melodic punk and post-hardcore scenes. The group has ten studio albums under its belt, including 2024's well-received release, Vows. Original members Chuck Ragan, Chris Wollard, Jason Black, and George Rebelo are now joined by Chris Cresswell of The Flatliners.
Bane is a Boston-based hardcore act. Though they formally disbanded in 2016 after a farewell tour, they have gradually returned to live shows in recent years. In 2025, Bane reissued their beloved 2009 EP Boston 6:58 PM on digital platforms for the first time and celebrated the 25th anniversary of their debut LP with a remixed and remastered edition.
