Chicago’s vibrant LGBTQIA+-friendly darkwave and post-punk underground is mobilizing once again as the acclaimed duo BELLHEAD officially announces their 2026 “If I Can’t Break Your Heart Tour”. Spanning the Midwest, Great Plains, Southwest, and South, this multi-state fall run kicks off on August 28 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, bringing their thunderous, emotionally raw live show directly to fans.
Known for blurring the lines between post-punk, darkwave, industrial rock, and gothic alternative, BELLHEAD continues to transform intimate clubs into inclusive, immersive sonic experiences. Featuring a distinctive and unconventional two-bass lineup paired with dark melodic sensibilities and a relentless DIY work ethic, the Chicago-based duo has built a stellar reputation across the independent music landscape.
The band’s recent momentum includes critical acclaim for their catalog and their June 2026 music video for “Threats,” which earned awards for “Best Music Video Low Budget” at the Hollywood Indie Film Fest and “Best Director Music Video” at the Tokyo Film and Screenplay Awards. Fans catching the upcoming tour can expect a dynamic setlist featuring crowd favorites alongside fresh material pushing their signature sound into exciting new territory.
