POLARIS Take Fans Behind The Scenes Of Their 2026 North American Tour In New Tour Vlog

Australian metalcore heavyweights POLARIS have released a brand-new tour vlog documenting their recent run across the United States and Canada alongside Electric Callboy and Scene Queen. Packed with behind-the-scenes moments, travel highlights, backstage humor, and explosive live footage, the video offers an authentic glimpse into life on one of the year's biggest metal tours.

The vlog begins with the band arriving at rehearsals in the United States, where they are joined by Ryan Neff of Miss May I, who steps in on bass duties. In typical lighthearted fashion, Neff jokes that he learned the entire set simply by watching YouTube videos. Between rehearsals, the band squeezes in a round of golf before heading to the first venues, where vocalist Jamie Hails catches up with Electric Callboy frontman Nico Sallach and prepares for the show with his vocal warm-up routine before viewers are treated to the first taste of the band's explosive live performance.

As the tour rolls on, the vlog captures plenty of off-stage downtime. In Phoenix, Arizona, the band cruises around the venue on scooters, shops for Pokémon cards, and unwinds by watching professional wrestling before returning to the stage. Los Angeles brings burgers, sightseeing, and guitarist Rick Schneider opening Pokémon card packs with little success, while the band entertains themselves with frisbees inside a store. Jamie remarks that walking into another arena reminds him of supporting Linkin Park only a few months earlier, as more energetic concert footage showcases the band's commanding stage presence.

The road diary continues through San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver, Salt Lake City, Red Rocks, Minneapolis, Chicago, and beyond, mixing high-energy live clips with candid moments from daily tour life. Whether testing sports cars on the road, playing games backstage, or braving the cold conditions at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the band's chemistry and sense of humor remain constant. A stop at Welcome to Rockville sees severe weather temporarily halt the festival before POLARIS finally hit the stage, while members also spend time watching friends in THORNHILL perform and catch Suicidal Tendencies from the side of the stage at Sonic Temple.

The final stretch of the tour takes viewers through Laval, Toronto, Greensboro, Tampa, Atlanta, Baltimore, New York, and Boston, with plenty of crushing live footage featuring massive wall-of-deaths and packed crowds. The closing moments highlight the camaraderie shared across the tour, ending with a full group photo of the bands and crew. Electric Callboy's Kevin Ratajczak humorously reflects on how bands always say goodbye as if they'll never meet again, only to reunite a few weeks later. Ending with backstage games, relaxed pre-show moments, and one final burst of live action, the vlog perfectly captures the friendships, relentless schedule, and unforgettable memories that defined POLARIS' successful 2026 North American tour.
