Lords of Acid announce ‘Cheeky Freaky Tour – Pt. 2’ with 15 US dates
Lords of Acid announce the “Cheeky Freaky Tour – Pt. 2”, 15 US dates across October 2026 with Princess Superstar, Tony & The Kiki and MZ NEON.
Belgian-American act Lords of Acid have announced the “Cheeky Freaky Tour – Pt. 2”, a run of 15 US dates this October. The second leg of the Lords of Acid “Cheeky Freaky Tour” opens October 15 in Norwalk, Connecticut and closes October 31 in Philadelphia, with a festival appearance at Sick New World Texas in Fort Worth on October 24.
The dates follow the first Cheeky Freaky Tour, which ran in spring 2026. Founder Praga Khan ties the return directly to demand from that run.
Praga Khan frames the second leg as a response to the first tour’s reception: “We’re doing Cheeky Freaky Part 2 for one simple reason: the fans asked for more. The energy, the sold out shows, the incredible response – it all made us realize one thing: we weren’t ready to say goodbye just yet. So we’re coming back louder, freakier and more outrageous than ever.”
Princess Superstar, Tony & The Kiki and MZ NEON join the package, the same support bill that appeared on the first leg; the Fort Worth festival date and the Philadelphia closer are Lords of Acid only. Tickets and VIP meet-and-greets are available through the band’s official site, lordsofacid.com.

About Lords of Acid
Lords of Acid is the project of Belgian producer Praga Khan (Maurice Engelen), formed in 1988. The group helped shape acid house and industrial dance with debut album “Lust” (1991), followed by “Voodoo-U” (1994), “Our Little Secret” (1997), “Farstucker” (2000), “Deep Chills” (2012) and “Pretty in Kink” (2018). Across those records the band cycled through several vocalists while Praga Khan remained the constant writer and producer.
Carla Harvey, previously co-vocalist of Butcher Babies, joined as the group’s singer in January 2025 and fronted the 2025 “Praise The Lords” tour before the “Cheeky Freaky” run. Lords of Acid have announced “Acid Reign” as their next studio album, their first full-length in eight years, and released the singles “Karaoke Superstar” and “Dream Boy” ahead of it. The “Cheeky Freaky Tour – Pt. 2” carries that cycle into the autumn with a second wave of US shows.

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
