Multi-platinum hard rock band, Drowning Pool, are making their return to Europe for their first headline tour across the continent in nine years. But first, the band will warm things up with six US shows in June and July before heading overseas. Joining them for the European run is rising hard rock family band Liliac, who will serve as special guests on all headline dates.

The European tour launches with a monumental appearance at the sold out Wacken Open Air on August 1 in Wacken, Germany, one of the world’s premier metal festivals. From there, Drowning Pool will embark on a series of headline dates across Europe, delivering their signature blend of aggressive energy, powerful vocals, and fan-favorite anthems like “Bodies,” “Tear Away,” “Sinner,” “Step Up,” “37 Stitches,” “Feel Like I Do,” and “Turn So Cold.”

Drowning Pool released their latest single, “Madness”, through SBG Records earlier this year. Stream/download the single here, and check out a visualizer for the track below:


The band will also be playing a number of festivals this summer including Lakes Jam Fest on June 26 in Brainerd, MN, Big River Rally on June 28 in Lacrosse, WI, Rockfest on July 16 in Cadott, WI, Inkcarceration Festival 2025 on July 18, Brutal Assault Fest on August 7 in Josefov, Czech Republic, Alcatraz festival on August 9 in Kortrijk Belgium, and Reload Festival on August 15 in Sulingen, Germany.

Stay tuned for more announcements from Drowning Pool as they gear up for additional tour dates and new music in 2025.

Drowning Pool, a name etched in the score of modern rock history, roars back into the spotlight with thunderous energy and uncompromising power. The band’s unmistakable sound, synonymous with raw energy and unapologetic attitude, returns to captivate audiences once again.

Known for their iconic anthem “Bodies,” Drowning Pool needs no introduction. This breakout single propelled them to international recognition, leaving an indelible mark on the nu metal landscape. The song’s relentless energy and defiant spirit resonated with a generation, becoming an anthem for moshers, metalheads, and fans of electrifying live performances.

Ryan McCombs played a pivotal role in the band’s evolution, joining their ranks in the aftermath of the tragic loss of beloved frontman Dave Williams. His powerful vocals and charismatic stage presence breathed new life into Drowning Pool, solidifying their status as metal titans. Songs like “37 Stitches,” “Feel Like I Do,” and “Turn So Cold” catapulted them to new heights, earning them a place among the genre’s heavyweights.

Yet, Drowning Pool’s story is not just about music; it’s a testament to enduring friendships and a shared passion for their craft. Ryan’s return to the band in 2023 marks a reunion of kindred spirits, a return to the roots of their musical journey. As he succinctly puts it, “Just being back in the same room together after so many years… was a quick reminder as to why I considered them to be my best friends in the business back in the day.”

Drowning Pool’s return is a testament to the enduring power of their music, a reminder that their unapologetic spirit continues to strike chords with audiences worldwide. The band experienced a triumphant resurgence in 2023 and with new music on the horizon, a 2025 calendar proving that the demand for the band isn’t about to slow down.., Drowning Pool has a white knuckle grip on their present and future with no plans to slow down.
