Devon-based hard rock heavyweights Kris Barras Band have announced their first UK headline tour in almost two years, set to take place this October. The news follows the announcement of their upcoming album, Monsters We Made, which is scheduled for release on 14th August 2026 via Earache Records.
Joining the band for the full run of dates are special guests 10 Years. The Tennessee alternative metal outfit will be making a welcome return to British shores following their 2022 stint with Three Days Grace. Kris Barras expressed his excitement for the pairing, stating: “We are absolutely honoured to have 10 Years out with us on this run; great band, amazing songs, you are all in for a treat.”
The new record, produced by guitarist and keyboardist Josiah Manning, marks a return to the band’s anthemic roots following the modern metal experimentation of 2024’s Halo Effect. Described by Barras as music that “belongs in arenas,” the album promises massive singalongs and virtuosic solos. This comeback is particularly significant following Barras’s recent recovery from a serious vocal cord injury sustained while touring with Smith/Kotzen earlier this year. After intensive rehab, the former MMA fighter turned frontman is reportedly “singing better than ever.”
