Devon-based Hard Rock Heavyweights Kris Barras Band have announced their first UK tour in almost two years, with the Monsters We Made Tour set to hit venues across the UK this October. The tour follows the release of the band’s upcoming album Monsters We Made, due on 14 August 2026 via Earache Records.
Fans who pre-order the album before midnight on Tuesday 12 May will receive an exclusive early pre-sale link for tour tickets.
Joining Kris Barras Band on the road are special guests 10 Years, the Knoxville, Tennessee melodic Alternative Metal outfit known for dominating US Rock radio for decades. The band recently toured with Mammoth and are also appearing alongside Black Stone Cherry before heading to the UK dates.
Speaking about the tour, Kris Barras said: “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.”
Kris Barras Band enjoyed major success with their 2024 album Halo Effect, which reached the UK Top 5 alongside Beyoncé and Linkin Park while topping the official UK Rock/Metal, Independent and Download charts.
The new album Monsters We Made sees the band return to a more anthem-driven hard rock sound filled with huge riffs, soaring choruses and powerful guitar solos. The album was produced by guitarist and keyboardist Josiah Manning, with the current line-up completed by bassist Frazer Kerslake and drummer Billy Hammett.
Following recent European tour dates with Adrian Smith and Ritchie Kotzen, Kris Barras has fully recovered from vocal issues suffered earlier this year and says he is now “singing better than ever.”
