(July 15, 2025) - London’s High Vis announces their headline North American tour slated to kick off this September. The 19-date tour will include support from No Warning, Pissed Jeans, Cold Gawd, Radioactivity, Secret World, Locked Shut, Gag and more on select dates with a stop at Ohana Festival in Dana Point, California. Tickets go on sale this Friday, July 18th at 10am local time HERE. High Vis’ North American headline dates follow their shows across the United Kingdom and Europe where they will perform with Fontaines D.C. in Cardiff Castle along with sets at Pukkelpop and Reading and Leeds Festival, as well as support TURNSTILE across the entirety of their UK/EU tour later this fall. Today’s North American tour announcement comes on the heels of the band wrapping a 6-show run with Deftones across Europe. Earlier this year, High Vis was added to the BBC 6 Music A-List and was highlighted in a feature with Rolling Stone about the current rise of hardcore. 


High Vis’ forthcoming headline tour follows last fall’s release of their lauded album Guided Tour, which arrived in October via Dais Records. Guided Tour was praised by Pitchfork, Alternative Press, Revolver, Stereogum, and more upon its release and includes the singles “Guided Tour,” “Drop Me Out,” “Mob DLA,” and “Mind’s a Lie.” 


On Guided Tour, High Vis sounds like a band reaching for new heights, bristling with energy. Recorded across a few weeks at Holy Mountain Studios in London with producer Jonah Falco and engineer Stanley Gravett (the pair also helmed the sessions for High Vis’ Blending), the results feel dynamic and dialed-in, like anthems burned into sense memory through sweat and repetition. The album’s 11 songs span the spectrum of contemporary guitar music, sharpened by experience, camaraderie, and societal frustrations. From swaggering street punk to jangling indie sneer to heavy alt to shoegazey spoken word, the group’s chemistry transmutes any style to their unique intensity. 


Since 2018, High Vis has polished their progressive hardcore sound with shades of post-punk, Brit pop, neo-psychedelia, and even Madchester groove, mapping a middle ground between hooks and fury, melodies and mosh pits. In 2019, High Vis released their debut album No Sense No Feeling, which broadened the scope of the hardcore veterans beyond scene while creating self-described “post-industrial-Britain misery punk.” The celebrated follow up, 2022’s Blending includes the tracks “Talk For Hours” and “Trauma Bonds” and not only expands upon the sonic breadth of High Vis, but vocalist Sayle opened his chest cavity through his lyrics discussing social issues and political miseries while reaching a hand out to folks listening to give a message of hope.
