Earlier this year, UK powerhouse Bullet For My Valentine and American metalcore stalwarts Trivium unveiled plans to join forces for The Poisoned Ascendency Tour. The announcement of the first leg of the tour set the introductory dates for the UK in January 2025, marking the 20th anniversary of both bands' lauded full length debut studio albums, The Poison and Ascendency respectively.
In celebration of the two-decade milestone, both bands will take to perform their debut albums in full for each night of the run. Kicking off the ambitiously planned tour, the Poisoned Ascendency Tour will kick off in Cardiff and with stops in Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham before concluding the UK leg with a massive evening at London's O2 Arena.
Adding to the celebratory run, Bullet For My Valentine and Trivium have confirmed the North American leg of their highly anticipated Poisoned Ascendency Tour. The lengthy stretch set for Spring of 2025 will begin in Vancouver, BC on March 30th and close out in Raleigh, NC on May 18th. Bolstering the depth of the already gargantuan pairing, Bullet and Trivium will be supported by metalcore vets August Burns Red along with a rotation of Sylosis and Bleed From Within in select cities.
"We are super excited to announce we are coming back to the USA in 2025 with our friends Trivium, to bring you the 'Poisoned Ascendancy Tour,'" shared Bullet For My Valentine. "We're going to be celebrating 20 years of our debut album The Poison and Trivium's Ascendancy. It's the metal tour of 2025, so don't miss out."
"This is a celebration for the old fans that were there at 9am at Ozzfest to catch a couple songs from a band in Iron Maiden shirts," added Trivium. "It's for the new fans that have been listening to the deep cuts but never caught them on a recent tour. And lastly, it's for both BFMV and us to take a moment to reflect on how amazing these 20 years have been, how fast they've gone, and how important these albums are for the both of our bands. Having August Burns Red, Bleed From Within, and Sylosis joining us only makes this more special. We can'’t wait to play Ascendancy for you!"
