According to vocalist Jesse Leach, the band will present different lineups across the Canadian and U.S. runs, each featuring distinct supporting acts.

Killswitch Engage formed in 2000 in Massachusetts and are associated with the development of modern metalcore.

Their album “Alive Or Just Breathing” (2002) has been recognized among the most significant metal releases of its era, while later albums such as “The End of Heartache” (2004) and “As Daylight Dies” (2006) achieved gold and platinum certifications.

The band has received three Grammy nominations and achieved multiple Top 10 chart positions on the Billboard 200.

Through their expanded 2026 touring schedule and the release of “This Consequence”, Killswitch Engage continue their current cycle with multiple headline runs across North America.
