Legends of modern heavy music, Killswitch Engage return to Australia and New Zealand in 2026, bringing more than two decades of genre-defining metal to stages across both countries for their biggest Antipodean headline tour yet. Joining them are British heavyweights Sylosis.
The Western Massachusetts metallers helped redraw the blueprint for modern metal in the early 2000s, fusing blistering European-inspired guitar work, East Coast hardcore energy and emotionally charged, uplifting lyrics into a sound that reshaped heavy music for an entire generation of bands and fans.
Across a landmark career, Killswitch Engage have earned three Grammy nominations for Best Metal Performance, multiple gold and platinum certifications, billions of streams and a reputation as one of the most commanding live acts in heavy music. From genre classics like Alive Or Just Breathing, The End Of Heartache and As Daylight Dies through to chart-topping releases Disarm The Descent, Incarnate and 2019’s Atonement, the band have continually evolved while dominating festival stages and sold-out venues worldwide.
Fresh from celebrating 25 years as a band and the release of their latest album This Consequence, featuring blockbuster single “I Believe” — the biggest radio hit of their career — Killswitch Engage are set to deliver a career-spanning set packed with fan favourites and modern anthems.
Fans can expect a night that moves seamlessly between era-defining classics and new material, all delivered with the intensity, passion and energy that has seen the band share stages with everyone from Iron Maiden and Slayer to My Chemical Romance, Mastodon, Slipknot and Parkway Drive.
