GIGAN Prepare for a Cosmic Tour Assault in Summer 2026
Summer Tour
American progressive tech-death outfit GIGAN have announced their “Summer Séances Tour 2026,” set to take place in the summer of 2026. The August run will conclude with a special headlining performance at Zymurder Fest IV.
Formed in 2005, the Chicago-based band are known for their experimental approach, intricate compositions, and boundary-pushing vision of extreme metal. As GIGAN prepare to bring their long-running creative journey back to the stage with this new tour, the band are looking forward to reconnecting with their fans.
In a statement, the band expressed their excitement about returning to the road after their previous tour was cut short. With their upcoming shows, GIGAN aim to deliver an unconventional, intense live experience designed to challenge the listeners’ perceptions and push the limits of imagination.
As part of the “Summer Séances Tour 2026,” the band will perform at five different venues across the United States throughout August. The tour dates are as follows:
August 15 – The Wood Shop – Brooklyn, NY
August 16 – Dingbatz – Clifton, NJ
August 19 – Sanctuary – Hamtramck, MI
August 21 – The Annex – Madison, WI
August 22 – Zymurder Fest IV – Menomonie, WI
The tour artwork and poster design were created by rising artist Erik Pertl.
GIGAN’s latest album, “Anomalous Abstractigate Infinitessimus,” was released on October 25, 2024, through Willowtip Records, marking the band’s return after a seven-year silence. The album was made available in CD, limited-edition CD long box, vinyl, cassette, limited four-album cassette box set, and digital formats.
The new record stands out as a further expansion of the band’s experimental identity within progressive death metal. Built around dense rhythmic structures, sci-fi atmospheres, and unpredictable compositions, the album received positive reactions from the extreme metal community.
Since their formation, GIGAN have consistently avoided conventional boundaries, and with “Anomalous Abstractigate Infinitessimus,” they have further expanded their own sonic universe while reinforcing their unique position within the modern tech-death scene. The band are now preparing to bring this complex and experimental musical world back to the stage with their 2026 summer tour.
