Rumors have been swirling all week that Killswitch Engage and Parkway Drive would be embarking on a co-headlining tour in the spring, and today the bands have confirmed the trek. Kicking off April 18 in San Francisco, the five-week run will include a few festival stops, including U-Fest in Mesa, AZ and the So What?! Festival in Houston.
“This co-headlining tour with Killswitch Engage is a landmark for Parkway Drive in North America,” said Parkway Drive singer Winston McCall in a prepared statement. “Having smashed our way across the land for over a decade now, it is a humbling and defining moment to be sharing this slot with true heavy metal icons and personal heroes. We have always aimed to maintain the highest standard of energy, connection and entertainment at our shows, a standard that has been set and maintained by KSE their entire career. The concept of how epic this tour will be is mind blowing to me. Bring on the insanity!”
“After having the pleasure of destroying stages all over Australia with the Parkway guys just over a month ago, we couldn’t be more stoked to share the stage with them once again, this time in the States,” Killswitch Engage vocalist Jesse Leach added. “Parkway Drive puts on an incredible live show and we are excited to combine forces and bring the energy every night to a town near you.”
