Killswitch Engage have announced an expanded 2026 tour schedule, including a Canadian headline run this August and an additional leg of U.S. dates in September.
The band, featuring Jesse Leach, Adam Dutkiewicz, Joel Stroetzel, Mike D’Antonio, and Justin Foley, will hit the road in support of their latest album This Consequence, out now via Metal Blade Records.
The first leg of the headline U.S. tour kicks off June 3 in Detroit and runs through June 27 in San Francisco. Support on that run will come from Machine Head, Iron Reagan, and Havok, along with festival appearances at Milwaukee Metal Fest and DC Warped Tour Weekend.
In August, Killswitch Engage head north for a Canadian run from August 5 through August 16, joined by Machine Head and Malevolence. The trek includes stops at Rock La Cauze Festival and Burt Block Party.
Toronto fans can catch Killswitch Engage live on August 8 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, where they’ll be joined by Machine Head and Malevolence. With a lineup built for sheer intensity, this stop is shaping up to be one of the must-see heavy shows of the summer in the city.
The band will wrap things up with a September U.S. leg featuring Machine Head, Rivers of Nihil, and Judiciary, including appearances at Louder Than Life and Aftershock Festival.
“We are all beyond excited to get back on the road in support of our latest album This Consequence,” says Leach. “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.”
He adds that the Canadian dates will feature “pure intensity, groove, and aggression,” while the U.S. run promises “a dynamic blend of atmosphere, technicality, and sheer hardcore aggression.”
Artist presales begin today at 12pm PT and run through April 16 at 10pm local time. General on-sale starts Friday, April 17 at 10am local time.
