Bad Time Records, the label that’s been fueling the current US ska / ska-punk resurgence, has announced a 2026 edition of the Bad Time Records Tour, which previously took place in 2023 with Catbite, We Are The Union, and Kill Lincoln (as documented in the BTR film This Is New Tone). Kill Lincoln (the band fronted by BTR founder Mike Sosinski) are on board for the trek once again, this time with JER and Bad Operation on all dates. And like in 2023, other Bad Time bands will join on select dates. The label will be revealing the support bands one day at a time next week.
The announcement promises “No headliners… rotating lineups every single night… and each show will almost certainly be capped off with an appearance from the ‘btr all-stars’. You don’t want to miss this.”
The tour includes legs in March, June, and August, and NYC gets a stop at TV Eye on June 13. Tickets for the whole tour go on sale Friday (1/9) at 10 AM local time. All dates are listed below.
