KILLSWITCH ENGAGE Announce Headline Return To The UK And Europe

Three-time Grammy-nominated metalcore titans and platinum-selling band KILLSWITCH ENGAGE – Jesse Leach, vocals; Adam Dutkiewicz, guitar; Joel Stroetzel, guitar; Mike D’Antonio, bass; and Justin Foley, drums – have announced a long-awaited, headlining return to the UK & mainland Europe with what’s sure to be one of the premiere metal line-ups this year.

For the UK & IRISH dates, the line-up will be: KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, HATEBREED, FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY, and DECAPITATED.

For the EU dates, the line-up will be: KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY, DECAPITATED, and EMPLOYED TO SERVE.

The tour comprises 25 dates over 2 legs from September – December 2025, kicking off in Lisbon and wrapping up in Helsinki, and includes a stop at London’s OVO Arena Wembley.

One of the most influential bands in modern metal, the trek will see KILLSWITCH ENGAGE dominate stages performing fan favourites and deep cuts from across their 25-year discography, as well as new songs from their widely praised, recently released album This Consequence.

Known for their explosive live performances and genre-defining sound, this is not one to miss!

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE frontman Jesse Leach enthuses, “I am very eager to get to share the stage with top tier bands like DECAPITATED, HATEBREED, FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY, and EMPLOYED TO SERVE! This is a monster of a line up and an opportunity to play some of these new songs as well as a solid mix from our catalogue! Headlining over in Europe and the UK is well overdue as it’s been about 6 years since we last were able to do this! I am certain this will be a tour that will absolutely turn heads and make for some great memories!”

Tickets and VIP packages go on general sale on Friday 9th May at 10am BST here.
