Drain at Irving Plaza

...Is Your Friend Tour

The most fun hardcore machine is coming to New York! DRAIN is setting fire on the road this coming spring. Join the California hardcore collective in their "...Is Your Friend" Tour in support of their brand-new album of the same name, with confirmed dates in Philadelphia, New York, Las Vegas, Seattle and more. Clear your schedule on Sunday night, March 29, 2026 and rally to Irving Plaza for a night with Drain with special guests No Pressure, Haywire and Secret World.

"We’re honored to be rocking this with some of our favorite bands right now!! No Pressure, Haywire and all the way from Australia Secret World," the band shares in their tour announcement.

The upcoming tour will highlight new songs from the "...Is Your Friend" album. It's the ultimate devotion to the fanbase and yes, you are going to lose your shit. Experience thrash metal and hardcore, molded with glorious breakdowns and infectious choruses in its best form: a live concert. Sing along to tracks like "Stealing Happiness From Tomorrow", dedicated to drummer Tim Flegal and a showcase of the band's resilience and vulnerability. Experience utter chaos in singles like "Living In A Memory" and "Can't Be Bothered", boasting tight and punchy arrangements. Of course, the trio will also bring sunny hardcore anthems and other fan-favorites from their first two albums, 'California Cursed' (2020) and 'Living Proof' (2023).

Drain will share the stage with three incredible acts for the night. First off, No Pressure, big-deal punkers who gained popularity on the hardcore festival circuit. Experience pop-punk, amped up with more raw and scrappier sound LIVE. Sing along to hits including "Good Enough" and "Wearing Thin", both of which are fast and hooky pop-punk numbers.

Canadian rock band Haywire is also ready for a headbanging event. Enjoy pure hardcore made of thrash riffs and visceral attiude while they give you their most popular tracks such as "Is What Is, Ain't What It Ain't" and "Get to Steppin".

Australian hardcore band Secret World will give you a taste of heavy melodies and abrasive riffs and vocals to open the show. Sing along to fan-favorites from their albums 'Tomorrow Is A Mystery To Me', 'Guilt Is Good', 'Living Less' and more.

Hardcore shows require a hardcore theater and this is where Irving Plaza comes in. Nothing trumps this prime NYC theater, which had been packing in fans since 1978.
