Tony Campos Leads Static-x Through 2026 Tour Cancellation
static-x canceled its remaining 2026 tour dates on Monday, May 18, after saying serious medical issues affecting one or more undisclosed band members required immediate attention. The band said the situation was unavoidable and told fans it would return to the stage in 2027.
“Due to serious medical issues, STATIC-X will be forced to cancel our remaining tour dates in 2026. The situation is unavoidable and requires immediate attention.” The group added, “We are very sorry for the inconvenience, and we promise to return to the stage, bigger, stronger and faster in 2027.”
Tony Campos and Project Regeneration
Tony Campos, the band’s bassist, said in August that he and his bandmates had talked about writing new material after finishing touring in support of the Project Regeneration albums. That makes the cancellation more than a simple schedule reset: the touring cycle that was supposed to lead into the next creative phase is now interrupted before the band can move on.
Project Regeneration Vol. 1 arrived in July 2020 with 12 brand new tracks and included many of Wayne Static’s final vocal performances and musical compositions. STATIC-X followed that with Project Regeneration: Vol. 2 in January 2024, a 14-brand-new-song release produced by Xer0 and mixed and mastered by Ulrich Wild. The band has been working through a post-Wayne Static identity without announcing a direct replacement, which is why any break in momentum lands as a business problem as much as a live one.
What 2027 Now Means
STATIC-X said it appreciates continued love and support and looks forward to seeing fans again very soon, but its own message pushes the next live appearance into 2027. For ticket holders, that makes this a full-season interruption rather than a short postponement, and for the band it delays the point at which it can test whether the Project Regeneration era can carry into new music.
Campos said in the fall of 2024 that the documentary in progress would be “a cool look back at the history of the band and the history of Wayne and how he affected all our lives.” That film, along with the music the band had planned to revisit after touring, now sits behind a medical setback that forces the live side of the operation to wait until the group is ready to step back out in 2027.
