Lagwagon - Let's Talk About HOSS

Lagwagon, the legendary punk band from California, has announced an extended European tour for summer 2026. The centrepiece is one of the most beloved albums in their catalogue: HOSS. At every headline club show, the band will perform HOSS in full - front to back - alongside a selection of additional material. Festival sets will span their entire career, mixing fan favourites from all albums with songs from HOSS and the occasional deep cut.

Originally released in 1995, HOSS remains a landmark record of the golden era of melodic punk rock, combining Lagwagon's signature blend of speed, melody and emotional depth. Three decades on, the songs continue to inspire generations of fans and musicians alike.

"I always love playing an older album in full because it lets us travel back in time," says frontman Joey Cape. "The band returns to an earlier life. We get to rediscover some of the less-played songs on that record - tracks we don't normally play live. Playing Hoss is something special because long-time Lagwagon fans come back out and dive into those early days with us."

The tour celebrates Lagwagon's enduring legacy and their undiminished energy as one of punk rock's most influential acts. Planned stops include some of Europe's biggest festivals - Greenfield Festival, Nova Rock, Hellfest, Graspop Metal Meeting, Wacken Open Air and Punk Rock Holiday - as well as a run of intimate club shows giving fans a rare chance to hear HOSS performed in its entirety.
