Two decades and counting
For more than two decades, Killswitch Engage have stood at the forefront of modern heavy music, helping define the metalcore movement with a sound that fused razor sharp European inspired riffing, East Coast hardcore aggression and emotionally charged lyricism.
Their catalogue remains one of heavy music’s most influential, spanning landmark releases including Alive Or Just Breathing, The End of Heartache and As Daylight Dies, alongside chart dominating later records like Disarm The Descent, Incarnate and 2019’s Atonement.
Fresh off celebrating 25 years as a band, Killswitch Engage enter this next chapter riding high on the success of This Consequence, which delivered “I Believe”, the biggest radio hit of their career.
The upcoming run promises to showcase every era of the band’s evolution, with the same relentless energy that has made them one of heavy music’s most revered live acts.
Across their career, the band has shared stages with titans including Iron Maiden, Slayer, Slipknot and Parkway Drive, with Sylosis opening each night, this is shaping up to be one of 2026’s essential heavy tours.
