Killswitch Engage’s upcoming Australian tour just got even bigger, with the metalcore veterans officially adding a second Melbourne headline show after their first Forum date sold out.
The newly announced performance will take place Monday, November 9th at Melbourne’s Forum, joining the already sold out November 10th show as demand continues exploding for the band’s long awaited return down under.
Joined by UK heavyweights Sylosis, the upcoming run marks Killswitch Engage’s biggest headline tour across Australia and New Zealand to date.
The Western Massachusetts outfit have remained one of modern metal’s most influential bands for more than two decades, helping shape the sound of metalcore through a combination of European inspired guitar work, East Coast hardcore aggression and emotionally charged songwriting.

25 years and counting
Across their career, Killswitch Engage have delivered genre defining records including Alive Or Just Breathing, The End of Heartache and As Daylight Dies, while later releases like Disarm The Descent, Incarnate and Atonement helped cement their status as arena level heavyweights.
Fresh from celebrating 25 years as a band, the group are currently riding momentum surrounding their latest album This Consequence, which featured ‘I Believe’ (below) the biggest radio hit of their career to date.
Fans attending the 2026 tour can expect a career spanning setlist pulling from every era of the band’s catalogue, alongside the intense live energy that has made them one of heavy music’s most respected acts worldwide.
Killswitch Engage have previously shared stages with Iron Maiden, Slayer, Slipknot, Parkway Drive, Mastodon and My Chemical Romance, while Sylosis continue building their own reputation as one of the UK’s heaviest modern exports.
With one Melbourne show already sold out months in advance, tickets for the newly added Forum date are expected to move quickly.
