Two decades later, it still struts, snarls, and refuses to behave.

Eagles of Death Metal are hitting the road this summer to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their 2006 fan-favorite Death by Sexy, and they’re not easing into it – they’re kicking the door off the hinges and dragging the whole record with them.

The newly announced ‘Death by Sexy’ 20th Anniversary Tour launches August 3 in Solana Beach, California, and tears across the U.S. before wrapping September 3 in Los Angeles. And this isn’t some casual nostalgia lap – the band will be playing Death by Sexy in its entirety, alongside a stack of fan favorites that have kept crowds sweating for the better part of two decades.

Formed in the late ’90s, Eagles of Death Metal – led by Jesse Hughes and co-founded by Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme – built their reputation on a swaggering, tongue-in-cheek take on garage rock, laced with blues grit, sharp hooks, and a live show that feels more like a full-on party than a concert. Despite the name, there’s nothing death metal about them – just raw, riff-driven rock ‘n’ roll with a devilish grin.

Originally released in 2006, Death by Sexy cemented the band’s cult status, delivering a batch of sleazy, infectious tracks that fans still hold close. Over time, the album has become a cornerstone of the band’s catalog, helping fuel a loyal following that spans generations of rock fans.

That’s exactly what makes this tour hit harder. It’s not just a celebration – it’s a full-circle moment. Longtime fans get to relive the album front to back, exactly as it was meant to be heard, while a new wave of listeners gets thrown straight into the fire.

The band put it simply: the wait is over. Eagles of Death Metal are taking flight over America again.
