So, the legendary vocalist Chad Gray of Mudvayne and Hellyeah has added more shows around the U.S. for this coming Fall, including a stop at Big Night Live in Boston, MA, on September 11, 2026. Gray hopes everyone will join him in celebrating his 30 year career with 30 Years of Madnesss wherever they can! These unique events will feature hits of Mudvayne and Hellyeah with special guest Marcus Rafferty (Touring Guitarist for Mudvayne), Devin Attard on drums, Nick Villarreal on bass, and Joe Bonasorte on Guitar.
Support on the tour will come from Butcher Babies and Devils Cut.
Presale Tickets will be available starting on June 9 with a Citi presale at 12 pm. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on sale beginning on Friday, June 12 at 10 am.
Chad Gray adds:
The initial five 30 years of Madnesss shows were absolutely incredible! The band, the fans, the venues and all involved completely blew me away.
Since the beginning, I’ve wanted to bring this to all my fans everywhere. From here in America and everywhere abroad. And now I have the opportunity, so I’m gonna take it. This fall, I’m hopefully going to come to a town near you and we are gonna walk in a room, let go of life and its problems and have some fucking fun! That has been my mission statement and mantra from the beginning of this. Let’s just have fun!
So I’m hoping with everything in me if there’s a stop near you I will see YOU! My favorite people in the world. My FAMILY!
Heavy metal saved my life and each and every one of you have done the same for me. We save each other because we lean on each other when things are as bad in life as they can be. You all have always been there for me and I want to be there for you. So let’s get together this fall and once again…HAVE SOME F*CKING FUN! Hope to see you at a show near you sooner than later.
So until then please stay safe, happy, healthy and METAL AS FUCK!
