Killswitch Engage and Machine Head Add New Dates

The late summer heat is about to get a lot more intense. Heavy metal titans Killswitch Engage and Machine Head have officially expanded their massive 2026 co-headlining run, adding a string of new dates across Canada and the United States.

The tour, which is already being hailed as one of the year's must-see lineups, will see the bands trekking through the Canadian wilderness in August before tearing through the American Midwest and Pacific Northwest in September.

The North American Onslaught
The newly announced leg kicks off on August 5th in Ottawa, hitting major Canadian hubs including Toronto and Saskatoon. Fans in Quebec are in for a special treat as the tour stops at Rock La Cauze on August 7th for a high-octane festival performance.

After a short breather, the chaos resumes in mid-September. The bands will descend upon Louder Than Life in Kentucky on September 20th before cutting a path through the Rockies and finishing with a Pacific Northwest triple-threat in Spokane, Portland, and Tacoma.
