The Paradox are taking the next big step.
Fresh off their breakout NPR Tiny Desk performance for Black Music Month and the release of their new single “Good For Me,” the Atlanta rock band have announced their first-ever coast-to-coast headline tour. The Fall 2026 run kicks off October 14 in Dallas, Texas and wraps November 18 in the band’s hometown of Atlanta, Georgia.
The tour will bring The Paradox to cities across the country, including Houston, Austin, Phoenix, San Diego, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Denver, Detroit, Boston, New York, Philadelphia and more. Artist presale begins Wednesday, June 24 at 10 a.m. local time, with general on-sale starting Friday, June 26 at 10 a.m. local time.
For The Paradox, the headline run arrives during a major breakout moment. The band recently appeared on NPR’s Tiny Desk, where they put their live energy and larger mission on full display. Their performance came shortly after the release of “Good For Me,” a soaring new single that points toward a bigger and more emotionally charged chapter for the group.
The momentum has been building quickly. Earlier this year, The Paradox made Billboard history as the first all-Black band to reach No. 1 on the Alternative Airplay chart with their breakout hit “Get The Message.” They followed that success with “Do Me Like That,” which reached No. 47 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart and No. 4 on Billboard’s Alternative Digital Song Sales chart.
The band was also selected for the YouTube Foundry Class of 2026, joining the platform’s global artist development program supporting independent artists.
Formed in Atlanta in the summer of 2024, The Paradox are Eric Dangerfield on vocals and guitar, Christopher “Xelan” Bernard on lead guitar and vocals, Donald Bryant on bass, and Percy “PC3” Crews on drums. In a short amount of time, they have carved out a distinct space in modern rock, pairing raw energy with emotional urgency and a perspective that feels both fresh and deeply rooted.
Their rise has been fast. After first building attention online, The Paradox grew into a major new force with more than 2.1 million followers across platforms. Along the way, they have earned support from some of the biggest names in music and culture. Billie Joe Armstrong personally invited them to open for Green Day at a stadium show, Travis Barker joined them on “Bender,” and artists and icons including Joel Madden, Jack White, Kid Cudi, SZA and LeBron James have publicly shown support.
Now, with “Good For Me” out, Tiny Desk behind them and more music on the way, The Paradox are stepping into their biggest live moment yet.
