ARNOCORPS MAKE TRIUMPHANT RETURN TO THE UK FOR LIMITED EDITION SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER 20TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR!
Commemorating the 20th anniversary of their inaugural UK Tour and the 2006 international release of their LP "The Greatest Band of All Time,” the last action rock heroes of ArnoCorps finally return! Limited full-blown live audio assaults have been scheduled throughout the United Kingdom between 24th July and 1st August, 2026.
Well-steeped in the heroic tales of their Austrian alpine forebearers, ArnoCorps channel ancient myths such as “Predator,” “Commando,” “Terminator” and “Total Recall” through a sonic onslaught known as action-adventure hardcore rock ‘n’ roll. While many in the press have foolishly mistaken the Austro-Californian visionaries as an Arnold Schwarzenegger tribute band, ArnoCorps actually seek to expose the shameless exploitation of their ballsy folklore at the hands of the Hollywood hype machine. Through ArnoCorps, the world can finally hear these cherished legends in the way they were meant to be told, empowering listeners to unlock their own potential to become “goddamn heroes.”
Although known for hurling volunteer audience members record distances and crowdsurfing on top of their guitar cases in displays of superhuman athleticism, there is no need to fear ArnoCorps‘ explosive performances; they are a rescue team, not assassins. The spectacle extends beyond the stage as attendees of ArnoCorps’ fabled live audio assaults are frequently adorned in camouflage face paint and uniforms that rival the adventure-ready appearance of the band themselves. A welcoming and inclusive atmosphere greets newcomers amidst a frenzy of bonding and unity under the ArnoCorps banner of ballsy defiance. Experiencing “the pump” is inevitable through crowd participation, including on-stage calisthenics challenges and impromptu bodybuilding posedown competitions.
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, ArnoCorps’ battle against cinematic Austroploitation is an international mission, having conducted headline tours of the UK and Europe in 2006, 2008, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2017, and 2019. The band have garnered extensive critical acclaim over the years, including a perfect 10 out of 10 rating from the BBC, described as “the most fun live show you could imagine” by Metal Hammer, and “enough to leave Manowar sweating through their loincloths” by Kerrang! Magazine.
The 2026 Summer Blockbuster UK Anniversary Tour coincides with ArnoCorps' latest release "BIG NOODLE ENERGY" on Jello Biafra’s legendary Alternative Tentacles Records. The new songs expose the shameless appropriation of ballsy alpine culture used to advertise noodles and energy drinks on Japanese television in the 80s and 90s. Yosh!
