AFI have announced a 24-date run across North America.

Having already played shows in Australia and South America in 2025, the Californian punk quartet will return to the road in September, kicking off their tour in Madison, Wisconsin on September 30.

Described as the band's "first full-scale outing" since the release of their eleventh studio album Bodies in the summer of 2021, and will apparently "offer fans the chance to experience songs from across their extensive catalog", according to a press statement from promoters Live Nation.
