The composer and former Oingo Boingo frontman announces an 11-city fall tour with a new live lineup drawn from industrial metal and rock pedigrees.
Danny Elfman has assembled a live band with direct ties to Nine Inch Nails, A Perfect Circle, and Dethklok for an 11-show run across 11 cities this fall. The brief announcement confirms an itinerary but leaves exact dates and venues unspecified for now.
Elfman’s recent solo output has leaned into dense, rock-driven arrangements far removed from his film scores. Touring behind that material with a band rooted in industrial and progressive metal doesn’t read as a nostalgic pivot—it extends the abrasive energy he’s been cultivating since 2021’s Big Mess.
The choice of collaborators signals a deliberate blurring of lines between his cinematic legacy and the heavy underground. While Elfman’s name guarantees a certain theatricality, bringing in instrumentalists from this end of the genre spectrum suggests the live show will prioritize texture and weight over orchestral polish.
No further details—cities, venues, or which members are involved—have been released.
