About this event

Killswitch Engage are back in Australia and New Zealand in 2026 with their biggest Antipodean headline shows yet, with Sylosis joining on the bill. The Western Massachusetts band helped redraw modern metal in the early 2000s, blending European-style guitar work, East Coast hardcore grit and big, emotional lyrics.

Over a career that has earned three Grammy nominations and multiple gold and platinum records, they've made a name as one of heavy music's most powerful live acts. Albums like The End of Heartache and As Daylight Dies sit alongside later records such as Atonement, which still draw crowds to the front rows.

This Newcastle date is an outdoor show at the University's stage, so bring something for the weather.
