The Shocktober Blood Tour 2026 is making its Northeast swing, and the Syracuse date lands at The Song & Dance on Jefferson Street — Friday, October 16. Doors open at 6:00 PM with the show kicking off at 6:30. If you have been on the fence about checking out this downtown spot, alternative metal’s most theatrical touring package of the fall gives you a solid reason to finally go.
About Wednesday 13
Wednesday 13 is running a 31-date horror-themed run across the United States — starting September 23 in San Jose and wrapping on Halloween night in Denver. That closing date is not accidental; the whole tour is timed to the season, and the Syracuse stop falls in the Northeast leg, just a few weeks before the finale. Current album Mid Death Crisis is the backdrop for the set. The band’s tour artwork was created by hand by illustrator Jonny Bush — a deliberate choice that fits the old-school theatrical aesthetic of the whole package.
Support on the bill: Dead on a Sunday (Post-Punk) and Above Snakes (Alternative Rock). Worth noting — Dead on a Sunday does not appear at every date on this tour, so confirm the full bill closer to the show if they are a specific draw for you.
The Venue
The Song & Dance is at 115 E. Jefferson Street in downtown Syracuse, presented as part of the After Dark Presents series — which has made this room a consistent stop for live music in Central New York. Bar and music venue right in the heart of downtown. On a Friday night in October, plan accordingly for timing and get there by doors.
