Killswitch Engage announce huge 2025 UK and European tour

Killswitch Engage, 2025

Killswitch Engage have announced details of a huge UK and European tour, set to kick off later this year. Find the details below.

The new dates will see the metalcore group head across the pond later this year, and play 25 live dates across the continent.

Kicking off in September, the gigs will see members Jesse Leach, Adam Dutkiewicz, Joel Stroetzel, Mike D’Antonio, and Justin Foley play fan favourites and deep cuts from across their 25-year discography, as well as new songs from their latest album ‘This Consequence’.

Dates begin in Lisbon on September 29, and continue in October with shows in Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, Paris and more. UK and Ireland tour dates are scheduled for that month too, and include shows in Wolverhampton, Manchester, Newcastle, Cardiff, Leeds, Glasgow, London and more.

The second leg of the dates will commence at the end of November, with five shows in Germany, and other stops in the Czech Republic, Denmark and Sweden. Two shows in December complete the run, and consist of shows in Norway (December 1) and Finland (December 3).

Tickets go on sale on May 9 at 10am BST, while pre-sale options are available now. Visit here for tickets and find a list of shows below.

“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,” said frontman Jesse Leach. “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 six 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!”

News of the tour comes after frontman Jesse Leach joined up with tourmates Employed To Serve for their new single, ‘Whose Side Are You On?’. Check it out above.
