California skate punk veterans Diesel Boy will kick off the first leg of their 2026 touring plans on June 4th in Eugene, OR, launching a celebration of the 30th anniversary of their debut album, Cock Rock. The recently announced July dates continue the anniversary run across the U.S. and Canada, with additional fall tour legs still to be revealed. For the first time ever, Diesel Boy will perform Cock Rock in its entirety at every show, alongside fan favorites and songs spanning the band’s catalog. Tickets for Diesel Boy‘s North American Summer tour dates are available here.

After more than two decades away, Diesel Boy returned in 2023 with Gets Old, earning some of the strongest reviews of their career and reigniting the band with extensive touring throughout the U.S. and Europe, including appearances at Punk Rock Holiday, Brakrock, Pouzza Fest, Red Bridge, and more. Now, three decades after the release of Cock Rock, Diesel Boy is bringing the album back to stages and reconnecting with longtime fans while introducing a new generation to their signature mix of melody, sarcasm, and high-energy punk rock.

“Ah, the ’90s. Wallet chains, long sideburns, giant pant legs. Cock Rock was our first record, the first release on Fat Wreck imprint Honest Don’s, and, we’d argue, the first in the hearts of many of our fans. Not enough firsts? These shows will also be the first time we’ve ever played it front to back. Many of these songs haven’t been played live in ages and we’ve been having a blast relearning them, while deeply regretting putting that many stops and starts into them.” (singer & guitarist Dave Lake)
