Killswitch Engage’s return to Australia and New Zealand just got even bigger.
Following massive early demand across their upcoming headline run, metalcore veterans Killswitch Engage have officially expanded the tour with two additional dates, adding a second Auckland performance and a brand new Newcastle show.
The newly announced dates arrive after tickets moved quickly across multiple cities, with Auckland’s original show and Wellington already sold out, while Melbourne’s second show, Brisbane, Sydney and Perth continue seeing strong demand.
Joined by UK heavyweights Sylosis, the upcoming run marks Killswitch Engage’s biggest Australia and New Zealand headline tour to date.
For more than two decades, the Western Massachusetts outfit have remained one of the defining names in modern heavy music, helping shape the evolution of metalcore through a combination of melodic guitar work, East Coast hardcore influence and emotionally driven songwriting.
