Melvins and Tomahawk Kick Off 2026 Tour: Videos, Set List

The Melvins and Tomahawk launched their A Huge Waste of Your Time and Money tour Saturday night in Nashville.

You can see the complete set list and fan-shot video from each band below.

Tomahawk, which in addition to Faith No More / Mr. Bungle singer Mike Patton features Duane Denison of the Jesus Lizard, John Stanier (Helmet, Battles) and Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle, Melvins and Melvins Lite), was playing their first show since 2013.

In 2021 Tomahawk released Tonic Immobility, their first album in eight years, but were unable to tour in support of it due to the COVID pandemic. They performed six of the album's songs live for the first time Saturday night during their 18-song set.

The Melvins were once again performing in a four-piece / two-drummer lineup, with singer / guitarist Buzz Osborne, drummer Dale Crover and bassist Steven McDonald joined by drummer Coady Willis, who is now three years into his second stint with the group. Dunn rejoined his former bandmates for a set-closing "Night Goat."

Tomahawk and the Melvins, who previously toured together in 2003, will next travel to Austin, Texas for a July 20 show at Emo's. Their tour is scheduled to conclude Aug. 15 in Los Angeles. You can see the complete itinerary below.
