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 the stage with their biggest Antipodean headline shows yet, joined by special guests, British heavyweights, **Sylosis**.  
  
The Western Massachusetts metallers helped redraw the map for modern metal in the early 2000’s, fusing blistering European‑inspired guitar work, East Coast hardcore energy and emotionally charged, uplifting lyrics into a sound that changed the game for a generation of bands and fans.  
  
Across a landmark career, Killswitch Engage have earned three Grammy nominations for Best Metal Performance, multiple gold and platinum records, billions of streams and forged a reputation as one of the most powerful live acts in heavy music. From classic albums like *Alive Or Just Breathing*, *The End of Heartache *and *As Daylight Dies* through to chart‑topping releases *Disarm the Descent*, I*ncarnate* and 2019’s *Atonement,* they’ve consistently raised the bar while packing out venues and festival main stages around the world.  
  
Fresh from celebrating 25 years as a band and the release of their latest album  
*This Consequence, *which featured blockbuster single “*[I Believe](https://us.list-manage.com/30aL4lcaKiw?e=c982cfcc7a&c2id=8df4eb0d792325807e8f2eb2abb2bd4e)*,” the biggest radio hit of their career, Killswitch Engage are set to deliver a career‑spanning set for their Australian and  
New Zealand fans.  
  
Expect a night that runs from era‑defining anthems to new favourites, all delivered with the intensity and heart that has seen them share stages with everyone from Iron Maiden and Slayer to My Chemical Romance, Mastodon, Slipknot and Parkway Drive.
