SOiL: Ryan McCombs (lead vocals) Tim King (bass) Adam Zadel (guitar) TJ Taylor (Drums)
When The Union Underground and SOiL teamed up for The Back To The 2000’s Tour, they took on board very special guests, an alternative metal band Ra and nu-metal rockers Flaw, both with proven track records since the mid-nineties. The gang rocked the heart of America from Texas to Illinois for the entire month of March with 18 electrifying shows.
This tour brought fans back to the days when festivals like Ozzfest gave new bands a chance to break through to the masses when the Nu Metal scene was thriving. Each band on the tour not only had massive hit songs at the time but also toured together and joined forces to create a massive heavy music scene.
The Union Underground reintroduced their iconic album An Education In Rebellion, released in 2000 via Columbia Records, which they performed in its entirety along with hit single "Across The Nation" and a couple of unreleased songs from the new forthcoming album. The Union Underground frontman Bryan Scott noted: “Make no mistake, this is not a nostalgia tour. It’s the launch of a new chapter for the band and an opportunity for new generations of music lovers to discover us. And our longtime friends in SOiL are the perfect partners in crime for the experience!”
SOiL bassist Tim King remarks: “Bryan Scott and I came up with this idea quite some time ago. I’m so happy we were able to bring all these bands together for what is sure to be a great re-introduction to this genre of music. The first tour SOiL did on the Scars album was with The Union Underground in 2001. Here we are, over 20 years later, doing it again. It just proves that great bands can last the test of time.”
Summertime is not only for tanning on ocean’s beaches, snorkeling, or drinking margaritas. It is the time for huge open-air rock and metal festivals, and the Wacken Open Air Festival in Germany is the hottest where SOiL will be sharing the Headbangers Stage on August 2 with such acts as Xandria, Alcatrazz, and Primal Fear, among others. Besides Wacken, SOiL will hit Brutal Assault Fest in Josefov, Czech Republic on August 8, Alcatraz Fest in Kortrijk Belgium on August 11, and ReLoad Fest in Sulingen, Germany, that will end SOiL European tour leg on August 16.
The band comments: “We’ve always loved touring Europe, especially during festival season. Being able to return to Wacken Open Air Festival after our amazing show last time in 2019 will be very exciting. Plus, we will be playing many festivals for the very first time (Brutal Assault, Alcatraz, and Re-Load). The select headline dates will be a great chance to play to a more intimate crowd on the days between festivals.”
The very next day after Wacken, on August 3rd, SOiL will be going to the Netherlands to continue their European tour with support from fellow label mates and progressive metal masters, Images Of Eden. The headlining dates will continue to Switzerland and Germany and include a stop at the Gebäude 9 music hall in Cologne, where dual female-fronted vixens Butcher Babies will be joining the pack for one night of metal madness.

SOiL will return to the UK for the first time since 2019 this coming November 2024. They will be joined by (Hed)PE, Nonpoint, and The Union Underground for a little shorter tour this time, playing eleven shows across England and Wales.
“This will be an epic return to the UK for us,” remarks SOiL guitarist Adam Zadel. “The album Scars was an instant hit in the UK and has maintained its status for over 20 years. It’s going to be exciting to play an exclusive set for the UK fans.”
During their 2024 touring spree SOiL will continue its “All Scars” set by performing songs exclusively from their 2001 hit album Scars with tracks such as “Halo,” “Unreal,” “Breaking Me Down,” and including deep cuts like “Two Skins” and “Understanding Me.”
SOiL bassist Tim King adds: “To share this “Scars only” event with our wonderful UK fans is going to be super exciting. On top of that, to also be alongside all our dear friends in (Hed)PE, Nonpoint, and The Union Underground is going to make this a tour to remember for many years to come.”
