Multi-platinum metalcore outfit Killswitch Engage will be headlining a North American tour this summer with their former Roadrunner Records labelmates Machine Head. British metalcore outfit Malevolence will support the pair on the initial Canadian leg of that run in August.
Following that, a U.S. leg in September will see Killswitch Engage and Machine Head out with support from technical death metal outfit Rivers Of Nihil and crossover band Judiciary. Killswitch Engage vocalist Jesse Leach checked in to say of the trek:
“We are all beyond excited to get back on the road in support of our latest album ‘This Consequence‘. This upcoming run will see us bringing two distinct and devastating lineups across Canada and a small run around the United States. Each lineup is built to deliver a unique and crushing experience.”
For our Canadian dates, we’ll be hitting major cities alongside the legendary Machine Head and the relentless force that is Malevolence. This is a power trio bill designed to level every stage we step on pure intensity, groove, and aggression. Canada, roll up!
For our United States run, we’re bringing a different kind of devastation. Joining us are once again the legends Machine Head, the prolific heaviness of Rivers of Nihil, and the raw, unfiltered intensity of Judiciary. This lineup delivers a dynamic blend of atmosphere, technicality, and sheer hardcore aggression!
Two unique lineups, one mission: To tear it up everywhere we go. Hell yes, my friends!”
