Five Finger Death Punch have wrapped up the North American leg of their 20th Anniversary World Tour, marking the occasion with a $200,000 donation supporting American athletes preparing for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles.
The multi platinum hard rock band concluded the tour on October 23, 2026, at Jiffy Lube Live in Bristow, Virginia, where they presented the donation to USA Judo and USA Cycling, specifically supporting the BMX Racing and BMX Freestyle programs. Throughout the tour, Five Finger Death Punch committed a portion of every ticket sold to the initiative, allowing fans across North America to contribute directly to the athletes’ preparation for the upcoming Games.
The donation also reflects the personal connections that founding guitarist Zoltan Bathory and vocalist Ivan Moody have maintained with judo and BMX throughout their lives. With the North American run complete, the band is preparing for the next chapter of its anniversary celebration, including a European arena tour in early 2027 and continued promotion of its tenth studio album, Legacy.
Five Finger Death Punch Support Team USA Ahead Of The 2028 Olympics
Unlike Olympic programs in some other countries, the United States does not provide direct federal funding to its Olympic and Paralympic teams, making private contributions, sponsorships, and fundraising important sources of financial support. The band’s initiative focused on two sports that hold personal significance for its members.
Bathory, who began practicing judo at nine years old and continues competing today, explained that the discipline has influenced his life well beyond athletics.
“We cheer for our athletes when they step onto the world stage representing our country, but we also want to stand behind them during the years of work it takes to get there,” Bathory shared.
He also emphasized the importance of giving athletes the resources necessary to reach their full potential. For Bathory, judo has been a source of discipline, resilience, and personal development throughout his life. Those lessons eventually carried over into his music career, making the opportunity to support USA Judo particularly meaningful. The guitarist also credited Five Finger Death Punch’s fans for making the donation possible.
“Our fans’ support puts us in a position to give back, and we’re grateful for that opportunity,” he added.
Ivan Moody Reflects On His Personal Connection To BMX
Before pursuing a music career, Moody dreamed of competing in BMX. He described his bicycle as an important part of his childhood, representing freedom, independence, and the opportunity to explore something he loved. Although music ultimately became his career, Moody said he still follows BMX and the sport’s evolution.
For him, contributing to the next generation of riders brings those early experiences full circle.
“To be able to donate to a cause this close to my heart… let’s just say, I feel like I’m donating to that young boy that is still riding quarter pipes and learning combos with his friends,” Moody shared.
The donation gives both musicians a chance to support communities that shaped their lives before Five Finger Death Punch became an internationally recognized rock band. It also demonstrates how the group’s anniversary tour extended beyond celebrating two decades of music.
Five Finger Death Punch Continue Their Success With New Album ‘Legacy’
The North American tour concludes during another successful period for Five Finger Death Punch. The band recently released its tenth studio album, Legacy, which arrived digitally in July 2026 and has already accumulated more than 60 million streams, according to the band’s announcement.
The project also appeared on 18 international charts following its release, including a No. 2 position on the U.S. Top Digital Albums chart. On Spotify, Legacy reached No. 6 on the U.S. Top Albums chart and No. 8 globally.
The album’s success continues a career that has seen Five Finger Death Punch become one of the most commercially successful acts in modern hard rock. Their single, “Eye Of The Storm,” delivered the band’s 18th No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart, extending its record for consecutive chart-topping singles at the format.
The song remained at No. 1 for three consecutive weeks.
More recently, “Nails In The Coffin” entered the Top 10 on rock radio, continuing the album’s momentum.
Five Finger Death Punch have also released an official music video for the track, following the previously shared visual for “Legacy.” The album is available across digital streaming platforms and in several physical formats, including limited-edition vinyl, CDs, and cassette releases featuring exclusive artwork. With Legacy, the band continues developing its sound while maintaining the heavy guitar arrangements, melodic choruses, and personal songwriting that have defined its career.
Five Finger Death Punch Announce 2027 European Tour With Lamb Of God
Although the North American leg of the anniversary tour has concluded, Five Finger Death Punch will return to the road early next year. The band is scheduled to begin the European leg of its 20th Anniversary World Tour on January 16, 2027, in Manchester, England.
The upcoming run will feature Lamb of God and Bleed From Within as supporting acts, bringing together three established names within the international heavy music scene. The tour will visit 21 cities throughout the United Kingdom and Europe before concluding February 22 in Helsinki, Finland.
The lineup offers fans a combination of hard rock, groove metal, and metalcore, making it one of the notable heavy music tours scheduled for early 2027.
The performances will also give Five Finger Death Punch another chance to celebrate their two decade career while introducing Legacy material to European audiences.
