Killswitch Engage Announce 2025 UK & European Tour

Metalcore trailblazers Killswitch Engage have announced their return to UK and European stages — and they’re bringing a stacked roster of heavyweights along for the ride. The 25-date tour will span two legs across the continent from late September to early December 2025, hitting venues from Lisbon to Helsinki, including a huge London date at the OVO Arena Wembley.

The band are currently riding high on the release of This Consequence, their latest studio album, and are set to unleash both fresh cuts and fan favourites spanning their 25-year career.

The UK and Ireland leg of the tour features a formidable support line-up: Hatebreed, Fit For An Autopsy, and Decapitated. For mainland Europe, Employed to Serve step in to open up the bill in place of Hatebreed.

Frontman Jesse Leach shares: “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!” He added: “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!”

Killswitch Engage remain one of the most important names in metalcore, with a legacy that stretches from their early 2000s breakthrough to their more recent work that continues to influence younger bands in the scene. Live, they’ve built a reputation for intense performances, crowd participation, and unwavering energy — all of which is set to hit boiling point this autumn.
