Hardcore punk band Big Ass Truck I.E. headline their North American tour at The End in Houston, with special guests.
Big Ass Truck I.E. bring their North American headline tour to The End on Tuesday, November 17, 2026. They're a Southern California hardcore wrecking crew from the Inland Empire, and they've built a name on chaotic, no-holds-barred live shows. They don't even call themselves a hardcore band—they describe themselves as a 'wrecking crew on bald tires' dealing in 12-ton riffs and big energy. Frontman Abel Abarca called this run 'perhaps the biggest tour ever conceived.'
They're touring their latest record, PUSHED BEYOND THE BRINK, out through Nuclear Blast Records. It follows 2025's pit anthem 'BACK WHEEL STOMP,' so you'll get the new material alongside the older stuff. The Houston date is part of a massive fall headline tour that also takes in Warped Tour dates and Furnace Fest, so this is one of the few times they'll be playing a proper club show on their own terms.
They aren't coming alone. The bill is stacked with special guests Chamber, Mugshot, Load Tha Nine, Surfaced, Restrictor Plate, and Lie, so the night starts well before the headliner hits the stage. Between the opening acts and the main set, it's a full evening of heavy music rather than just one band and a quick exit.
