Killswitch Engage Announce US Tour With Machine Head
Killswitch Engage will tour the United States in June with Machine Head, Iron Reagan and Havok.
Killswitch Engage will headline a United States tour in June 2026 with support from Machine Head, Iron Reagan and Havok. The 16-date run begins at The Fillmore in Detroit on June 3 and ends at The Warfield in San Francisco on June 27.
The itinerary includes Minneapolis, South Bend, Raleigh, Brooklyn, Boston, Bethlehem, Orlando, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Albuquerque, Tempe and Los Angeles. Killswitch Engage will also appear at Milwaukee Metal Fest and the Washington, D.C. Warped Tour weekend during the wider touring period.
The 16-date package brings two generations of American metal together for a run supporting recent albums.
Vocalist Jesse Leach says the band is eager to continue supporting its 2025 album “This Consequence”. Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn noted that despite the two groups’ long shared history, this will be their first complete tour together. He described the package as an opportunity to return to major American rooms with a bill built around intensity rather than stylistic uniformity.
“This Consequence” was Killswitch Engage’s ninth album and sixth since Leach rejoined the band in 2012. It produced the Top 10 radio single “I Believe” and followed extensive touring in 2025. Machine Head are supporting their eleventh studio album, “Unatoned”, released in April 2025. Iron Reagan and Havok complete a lineup that connects metalcore, groove metal and contemporary thrash across a single evening.
