Metalcore titans Killswitch Engage are bringing the noise back to San Diego on July 2, 2025, as part of their massive This Consequence summer tour. The show will take place at Gallagher Square at Petco Park, marking a must-attend stop on a tour that celebrates the band’s 25-year legacy and their powerful new album.
🔥 This Consequence – A Landmark Album
Released on February 21 via Metal Blade Records, This Consequence is a reaffirmation of Killswitch Engage’s status as one of the most enduring forces in modern metal. Featuring the Top 10 single “I Believe” and the newly released, environmentally conscious video for “Aftermath,” the album has already garnered critical acclaim and front-cover features on Revolver and Outburn magazines.
This Consequence dives deep into themes of accountability, reflection, and resilience—backed by the crushing riffs and anthemic choruses KsE fans have come to expect. With Jesse Leach’s emotive vocals, Adam Dutkiewicz and Joel Stroetzel’s signature twin guitar assault, and a rhythm section powered by Mike D’Antonio and Justin Foley, this lineup sounds sharper than ever.

🤘 The Legacy of KsE: 25 Years of Metalcore Mastery
Emerging from Massachusetts in 2000, Killswitch Engage helped define the American metalcore movement by fusing European melodic death metal guitar work with the raw intensity of East Coast hardcore. Albums like Alive Or Just Breathing (2002), The End of Heartache (2004), and As Daylight Dies (2006) are genre cornerstones, with the latter earning platinum status.
They’ve racked up three GRAMMY nominations, gold and platinum records, nearly 3 billion streams, and countless festival headlining slots. Over the years, KsE has shared stages with the likes of Iron Maiden, Slayer, Slipknot, My Chemical Romance, and Mastodon—cementing their place in the global heavy music canon.

Partnering with top environmental organizations, KsE uses their platform to spotlight ecological crises and promote actionable change. It’s a fitting example of how the band continues to evolve, engaging fans both musically and socially.
