As has long been rumored, Light The Torch will indeed be opening Killswitch Engage‘s forthcoming spring headlining tour with August Burns Red appearing as direct support. Light The Torch of course feature ex-Killswitch Engage vocalist Howard Jones, who guested on Killswitch Engage‘s latest album, “Atonement“.
Current Killswitch Engage frontman Jesse Leach commented of the band’s addition to the bill:
“We are excited to bring out Light The Torch, first of all, because they are a killer band. Obviously, having Howard out with us allows us to make this a tour to remember. I’ve always respected Howard as a singer, but in recent years, he’s become a friend. So it means more to me now than it would have in the past.
We are happy to see him back up on the good foot and singing his heart out again in top form. With both August Burns Red and Light The Torch, there will be no punches pulled. Just a killer lineup. Fans won’t want to miss this tour. You will want to come early and stay late. All hails.”
Jones himself added:
“We are truly excited to be a part of the Atonement Tour with KsE and ABR. This one has it all — old friends, new music, good times. Forget the world for a night and come hang out with three bands that want to make memories with you!”
