When TX2 put Black Veil Brides on his debut album, it read as a young artist landing a dream feature. Then the dream returned the favor with a tour bus. TX2 spent this spring as support on Black Veil Brides' 34-show North American headline run, opening April 25 in Riverside, California and closing May 30 in Worcester, Massachusetts, alongside From Ashes To New and As December Falls.
From feature credit to tour family
The billing completes a circle that started in the studio. TX2's 13-track vampire-apocalypse rock opera End Of Us features Black Veil Brides on the record itself, alongside Ice Nine Kills' Spencer Charnas. Scene elders do not lend their name to a debut and then hand over a month of their own stage unless they consider the kid one of theirs. This was theatrical rock formally adopting its next act.
The audience math
For an artist who built 100 million pre-album streams and a 17,000-member Discord from three TikToks a day, the BVB run solved the one thing the internet cannot: rooms full of strangers. Black Veil Brides' crowd is the exact lineage TX2 was raised on, the eyeliner-and-anthems tradition running back through the Black Parade records that got him through school bullying. Every night was a referendum in front of the most qualified jury possible.
The band on his album became the band above his name on the marquee. That is how scenes anoint.
The summer keeps the flywheel spinning
The relationship did not end in Worcester. Black Veil Brides spent June headlining the European festival gauntlet, a Saturday Arena slot at Download on June 13, plus Rock am Ring, Rock im Park and Hellfest, keeping the partnership's profile high in exactly the markets TX2's Heavy Music Awards nomination, Best International Breakthrough Artist, is judged from. Meanwhile his own US headline dates resume with a bigger live vocabulary than the bedroom-TikTok era ever taught: 34 arena-adjacent nights of watching a theatrical rock institution run its show from the wings is an education no algorithm sells.
Momentum check
The tour slots into a 2026 that keeps compounding: a Heavy Music Awards nomination for Best International Breakthrough Artist, his own US headline dates, and Black Veil Brides' European festival summer, Download included, keeping the partnership warm. The X Movement was built one post at a time. The live career is now being built the old way, one borrowed crowd at a time, and the crowds keep getting bigger.
