A limited batch of Killswitch Engage tickets has been released for tonight’s show at Melbourne’s Forum, giving fans another chance to catch the band with Sylosis and Heists.
Tonight’s Killswitch Engage date had been listed as sold out, but tickets are available again through Ticketek. Only a handful have been released, coming just hours before the band returns for its second Melbourne show.
Doors open at 7pm for the strictly 18+ event, with Heists starting at 7.30pm. Sylosis follow at 8.30pm before Killswitch Engage take the stage at 9.40pm, Alexander Hallag photographed last night’s performance for our Melbourne gallery, alongside his account of the 18 song set.
Jesse Leach repeatedly made his way to the barrier, spending time with fans between songs and returning to messages of unity and looking after each other. Before calling for an old-school circle pit, he reminded the crowd to pick up anyone who fell, while his closing words acknowledged the difficulties people face outside the venue.
The set included ‘Aftermath’, ‘This Fire Burns’ and ‘Daylight Dies’, with ‘My Curse’ and ‘My Last Serenade’ arriving in the closing stretch. Introducing ‘Daylight Dies’, Leach singled it out as one of his favourites, while acknowledging he hadn’t written it himself.
Sylosis brought ‘Poison for the Lost’, ‘Lacerations’ and ‘All Glory, No Valour’ to their supporting set, while Heists opened the evening and flagged plans to return in March.
Elsewhere on the Australian run, SPEED’s Jem Siow joined Killswitch Engage for ‘My Last Serenade’ at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre last Friday, sharing vocals with Leach.
Tonight is the final Melbourne date, with the tour continuing to Adelaide on Thursday before finishing in Fremantle on Saturday.
