For fans of gothic metalcore and high-octane live shows, 2026 is shaping up to be a big year — especially thanks to Motionless In White being part of a major U.S./Canada tour circuit.
While the band hasn’t yet officially confirmed a headlining U.S. tour for 2026, their role as special guests on Bring Me The Horizon’s “N. American Ascension Program 2” tour, plus their European headline dates, offers clues and excitement about what’s coming. Here’s everything to know, what to expect, and what possibilities lie ahead.

What is confirmed: Motionless In White with Bring Me The Horizon
- In October 2025, Bring Me The Horizon (BMTH) announced a spring 2026 North American arena tour dubbed “N. American Ascension Program 2” to support their POST HUMAN: NeX GEn album. Motionless In White is one of the support acts on this tour, along with The Plot In You and Amira Elfeky.
- Tourdates include key U.S. cities (and two in Canada). The run kicks off April 28, 2026, in Toronto, ON, then moves to U.S. cities including New York City (Madison Square Garden), Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Nashville, Kansas City, and more. It ends with a performance at Sonic Temple in Columbus, Ohio.
- Ticketing details: Presales via Citi begin October 7, 2025; general on-sale begins October 10. VIP packages and enhanced fan experiences are expected as part of this tour.
What is not confirmed (but possible)
- At present, there is no separate U.S. headline tour for Motionless In White announced for 2026. Their own recent tour announcements focus on Europe and the UK.
- However, given their rising popularity, the success of Scoring the End of the World (2022), and their inclusion in major tours/festivals, many fans believe Motionless In White could roll out their own U.S. dates later in 2026. Rumors and fan discussions (especially on forums) suggest expectations of new music and more live performances.
Why this tour matters for Motionless In White
- Exposure to Larger Audiences
Touring with BMTH and appearing in major arenas/festivals gives Motionless In White access to huge crowds. Even if they aren’t headlining, opening for BMTH ensures many new ears hear them and potentially become new fans. - New Material & Evolving Sound
While their latest studio album, Scoring the End of the World, came out in 2022, fans are eager for new songs and updated production. Participation in major tours often correlates with new releases or at least more live staples added to their set. Their European tour announcement mentioned “new songs” and “bigger production.” - Viral & Festival Momentum
With appearances at festivals like Sonic Temple and other major U.S. stops, the tour can boost online visibility, streaming numbers, and momentum in merch sales and fan engagement.
What fans should look out for
- Setlists: Expect a mix of older fan favorites (from Infamous, Reincarnate, etc.) and newer tracks from Scoring the End of the World, perhaps even some unreleased material if things go well.
- Production Value: Given that BMTH’s tour production is ambitious, supporting acts often benefit from shared stage resources or similar visual/lighting enhancements. Motionless In White can elevate their live show for this tour perhaps beyond what their own previous headlining production allowed.
- Merch & VIP/Experience Packages: Since they’re part of a big tour, special march collaborations or limited edition items may come up. For fans, early purchase or being present at early tour stops often gives access to exclusive items.
- Tour Dates in Secondary Cities: If Motionless In White does announce headline U.S. dates later, they might target cities not always included in big arena tours — smaller or mid-sized markets where demand is strong but where a BMTH arena can’t always go.
Possible Scenarios & Predictions
- Separate U.S. Headline Tour Late 2026: If the BMTH tour solidly increases Motionless In White’s exposure and fan demand, they could launch their own headline U.S. tour in late 2026. New material would help fuel that.
- Festival-Heavy Summer Run: Even without a full headline tour, they may do a summer festival run in the U.S., hitting major rock/metal festivals. That tends to be lower overhead but high exposure.
- Collaborations & Support Gigs: More chances to be the opening act for even larger rock/metal tours, or collaborative shows with artists in similar genres.
Historical Context & Fan Interest
- Motionless In White’s last studio album Scoring The End Of The World has been critically well-received and performed well on active rock charts.
- Their live performances are known for high energy, theatrical elements, combining gothic and industrial influences. Fans often cite their stage presence, visual identity, and emotional intensity as what distinguishes them.
- Social media and forums indicate strong demand for new material and more U.S. shows. For many fans, the BMTH tour offers hope that MIW’s profile will rise further, potentially opening up even more ambitious touring opportunities.
What You Should Do If You’re a Fan
- Monitor Official Channels: Follow Motionless In White’s social media, newsletter, and website. If they announce a U.S. headlining run, that’s where it’ll be first.
- Get Ready for Presales: For the BMTH tour, presales are already scheduled (Citi cardmembers, etc.). If MIW do their own tour, similar presales will likely be involved.
- Plan for Travel & Tickets Early: Big arena shows sell out fast. If you’re aiming for good seats, it often helps to book early or attend closer or more accessible cities.
- Watch for Tour Packages: VIP or “meet & greet” style packages often come with better merch, earlier entrance, or exclusive content. These may cost extra but can enhance the experience.
Conclusion
While there’s no confirmed stand-alone U.S. headlining tour yet for Motionless In White in 2026, their confirmed participation in the “N. American Ascension Program 2” tour with Bring Me The Horizon is a major opportunity — both for exposure and for previewing what could come.
Fans should stay alert for announcements of new material and possible headline dates later in the year. Either way, 2026 is shaping up to be a milestone year for them.
