Wolfgang Van Halen launches the next chapter of “The End” era with a powerful 19 date tour. MAMMOTH, the electrifying project led by Wolfgang Van Halen, is officially stepping into 2026 with its first North American headlining run, and the tour is shaping up to be the band’s most ambitious yet.
Fresh off the acclaim surrounding their third album The End, MAMMOTH is gearing up for a coast-spanning 19-date trek that kicks off March 5 in Buffalo, New York and wraps April 4 in Prior Lake, Minnesota. The newly announced shows mark the next major chapter of the “The End Tour,” continuing the band’s streak of sold-out rooms, breakout festival appearances, and critical praise for their fierce live performances.
Supporting the run are alt-metal veterans 10 Years and rising UK rock duo James and the Cold Gun, forming one of 2026’s most compelling (and versatile) rock bills.
A Band Hitting Its Stride
While The End once again features Wolfgang performing every instrument and vocal in the studio, a creative signature that has become synonymous with the MAMMOTH identity, the live band remains a fully realized powerhouse. On stage, Wolfgang is joined by:
- Frank Sidoris – guitar
- Jon Jourdan – guitar
- Ronnie Ficarro – bass
- Garrett Whitlock – drums
Together, the lineup has earned a reputation for delivering explosive, riff-forward shows that blend precision with emotional weight, a mix that has turned MAMMOTH into one of rock’s most exciting modern touring acts.

Why This Tour Matters
For Wolfgang Van Halen, MAMMOTH has always been about evolution rather than nostalgia, pushing forward while honoring the DNA of rock. With The End earning widespread praise for its songwriting growth and muscular sound, 2026 feels like the moment MAMMOTH fully steps into its own identity.
This tour is more than just a continuation of the album cycle, it’s a declaration that MAMMOTH is not a side project, but one of the defining modern rock bands of its generation.
