The Van Buren
If you've been following Sleep for a while, you'll agree that there simply is no box that can contain them. The legendary stoner/doom metal pioneers from San Jose have been making their own path since 1990 and along the way, they demonstrated themselves as a force in heavy music with classics like Dopesmoker and Sleep's Holy Mountain!
There's the rest and then there's Sleep! Plainly stated: Half-measures do not exist here - when they're on the stage, they pull out all the stops pedal to the metal and with pure heavy-riff power!
Feast your eyes on this: Sleep is charged up and ready to rock out with a sizzling North America 2026 tour slated to descend upon Phoenix! With their new lineup featuring original bassist/vocalist Al Cisneros alongside Bubba Dupree (ex-Void) on guitar and Dale Crover (Melvins) on drums, plus their first new music in 8 years with the single 'Have Spacesuit Will Travel,' get keen for things to be taken to the next level, because Sleep is coming to the The Van Buren on Wednesday 9th September 2026!

Every live concert is unchartered territory, fearless, different, highly interactive and explosive. When Sleep releases a new album, it's a career-defining, mold-breaking, riveting collection of pure energy, earth-shaking drumming, experimental songs, mind-blowing riffs and licks, solid basslines and supreme vocal expertise - one that can't fit into any mold. The legendary trio returns with their first new music in 8 years, the single 'Have Spacesuit Will Travel,' featuring original bassist/vocalist Al Cisneros alongside new members Bubba Dupree (guitar) and Dale Crover of the Melvins (drums).
Join the religious fans as Sleep bring their North America 2026 tour to Phoenix. Sleep has been riding the top of the charts without batting an eye for quite some time and they have grown into one of the most impactful bands - through albums like the monumental "Dopesmoker", "The Sciences", and classics like "Sleep's Holy Mountain" and live in concert! From the punk-tinged tunes that you'll find yourself belting out while going about your daily business to the experimental wall of sound that delivers a gut-punch every time; from the insanely skilled vocal shifts between quiet and heartfelt to rockin' and enthralling to the boiling chemistry pumping between the band members; from the explosive energy that detonates on the stage like pure alternative TNT to the amounts of jaw-dropping musicianship oozing from the stage - Sleep is full-throttling down the road to become the single most influential band in stoner and doom metal.
