Mudvayne Rumored to Be Plotting a Comeback Tour in 2021

Posted on by

From the rumor mill department: music tour prognosticator and the occasional scourge of the music industry, Wolverine Kills, has shared a new post on Facebook touting that Nu-Metal legends Mudvayne are planning to reunite and tour in 2021. Although no evidence is provided, considering the source, this may very well be true. Wolverine Kills is often stunningly accurate at predicting tours and leaking them early, ahead of announcements. Other than dominating memes in 2019, Mudvayne has been dormant for a decade following the release of their 2009 self-titled release and tour followed. The band formed in 1996 and had their breakthrough in 2000 with their album L.D.50. Vocalist Chad Gray has been the frontman of HELLYEAH, while guitarist Greg Tribbett formed Audiotopsy after departing HELLYEAH in 2014, along with drummer Matthew McDonough. Bassist and internet sensation Ryan Martnie has a Jazz-rock band Soften the Glare. We’d welcome a return by Mudvayne and will update fans on any news that develops from this story.

Last year Hellyeah released their final album with Vinnie, Welcome Home, and completed a short tour, paying their respects nightly. You can read a comprehensive memorial piece we published about Vinnie at the time of his passing and watch these highlights from his career below. Continue reading →
