Acid Bath Bring Their Sludge to New York City with Support from Obituary: Photos + Setlists

Louisiana sludge masters Acid Bath brought their reunion tour to New York City this past Friday, August 21st, with an outdoor show at Pier 17, featuring support from veteran death metallers Obituary. Metal fans filled the waterfront venue against the backdrop of the Manhattan skyline for what marked Acid Bath’s third New York City appearance since returning to the stage in 2025, ending a nearly three-decade absence following the band’s original breakup in 1997.

Acid Bath delivered a 10-song set that kicked off with “Tranquilized” and wrapped up with “The Blue,” with all songs taken from their only two studio albums, 1994’s When the Kite String Pops and 1996’s Paegan Terrorism Tactics. Obituary opened the night with a 12-song set spanning their 40-plus-year career. Fans can catch Acid Bath playing select US shows from September through December, including gigs with Ministry, Neurosis, and other bands. Pick up tickets here.
