American metal champions Killswitch Engage have announced plans to hit the road for a stretch of summer headlining dates in support of their acclaimed 2025 full length, This Consequence. Set to join Killswitch on the trek, Machine Head will serve as special guests making for a walloping combination of two of metal music's most decorated and celebrated practitioners.
Also confirmed as support of the run, crossover thrash collective Iron Reagan mark their return along with an opening set nightly from Colorado thrash unit, Havok. The tour begins June 6th in Detroit, MI and wraps with a penultimate play at the Hollywood Palladium on June 25th before closing out with a finale in San Francisco, CA on June 27th.
For Killswitch, the tour marks the band's return following their victorious jaunt on last year Summer Of Loud tour. The 2026 headlining dates will also include appearances at Milwaukee Metal Fest and The Vans Warped Tour in Washington DC.
"I'm extremely excited to get back out on the road supporting our newest album This Consequence!," says frontman Jesse Leach. "We are hitting major cities and bringing along with us an absolutely killer lineup with the legendary Robb Flynn and Machine Head, thrash masters Iron Reagan, and rounded out by the mighty Havok. This is a stacked and powerful crew of bands that will electrify and dominate wherever we roll up to… so LET'S GO!!!!!!"
