Killswitch Engage & Machine Head Announce Summer Canadian Touring

Multi-platinum metalcore staples Killswitch Engage are set to return to the road this summer, headlining an expanded North American run alongside their former Roadrunner Records labelmates Machine Head. The tour now spans across Canada and into the western United States, with Malevolence supporting the opening leg in August.

The run will then shift into a broader U.S. stretch in September, where the lineup changes to include progressive death metallers Rivers Of Nihil and hardcore crossover act Judiciary, giving fans two distinctly different touring packages across North America.

Speaking on the upcoming dates, vocalist Jesse Leach shared:

“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!”
