Killswitch Engage Announces Massive EU/UK Headlining Tour

Killswitch Engage Announces Massive EU/UK Headlining Tour

- By Ramon Gonzales -->

The tour marks the band's return to the region for the first time in six years and features Hatebreed, Fit For An Autopsy, Decapitated and Employed to Serve. 

Delivering one of the year's most acclaimed albums in This Consequence, Killswitch Engage continues to charge forward as one of metal music's most important and celebrated collectives. Adding to their slate of live dates throughout the year in support of the album, Killswitch has announced their long-awaited return to mainland Europe and the UK later this year. 

For the first time in six years, Killswitch Engage will embark on a headlining EU/UK tour. Adding to the magnitude of the band's long-awaited return, Killswitch has tapped a mammoth line-up of support making for a can't-miss bill. Among the heavy hitters confirmed for the tour include Hatebreed, Decapitated, Fit For An Autopsy and Employed to Serve. 

Sharing his enthusiasm to get back to the region, KsE frontman Jesse Leach expained, "I am very eager to get to share the stage with top tier bands like Decapitated, Hatebreed, Fit For An Autopsy, and Employed To Serve! This is a monster of a line up and an opportunity to play some of these new songs as well as a solid mix from our catalogue!

Headlining over in Europe and the UK is well overdue as it’s been about 6 years since we last were able to do this! I am certain this will be a tour that will absolutely turn heads and make for some great memories!"

The two-leg trek begins September 29th in Lisbon and finishes in Dublin on October 20th. The second leg starts November 20th Cologne and comes to a grand finale on December 3rd Helsinki, Finland.
