As I Lay Dying are bringing their “Shadows Are Security” 20th anniversary celebrations stateside in 2026. The metalcore outfit made their return last year with an entirely overhauled lineup. That personnel change came about amid further controversy surrounding the band’s frontman Tim Lambesis.

11/20 Roseville, CA – Goldfield Trading Post

The below admat for this run notes these will be the final dates celebrating their aforementioned third studio album. The post announcing the tour notes that further U.S. touring from the band is pending for early 2027. Lambesis commented:
“I’ve had an incredible time celebrating ‘Shadows Are Security‘ over the past year and reconnecting with the mindset that shaped that album in the earliest days of As I Lay Dying. Reflecting on that chapter has been both nostalgic and deeply motivating—it’s reminded me of a spark that was always there, and that renewed perspective has absolutely influenced the way I’ve approached writing for the new album. These final anniversary dates are a chance to celebrate that connection one last time with the fans who have been part of this journey.”
