Killswitch Engage and Anthrax have revealed a co-headline tour of North America for early next year.
Dubbed KillThrax II, the run of dates will see both bands perform together again for a total of 29 dates throughout January, February and March 2018. They’ll also be joined by special guests Havok.
Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian says: “Evil Dead II. Dawn Of The Dead. The Godfather: Part 2. The Empire Strikes Back. All sequels that are better than the original. Add KillThrax II to that list. Back by popular demand, KillThrax is coming at ya again my friends.”
Anthrax bassist Frank Bello continues: “After playing so many amazing shows last year with our friends Killswitch Engage, I’m psyched for round two of KillThrax, and we’re adding Havok to the heaviness!”
Killswitch Engage vocalist Jesse Leach says he’s looking forward to hitting the road with Anthrax once again and adds: “There is such a synergy between the two bands and a certain unity that is infectious, so it was a no brainer to put this package back together and hit the road.
“It’s an honour and we are excited for these shows, the fans, and the good times! KillThrax is gearing up for round two, so let’s keep the party rolling!”
As with the inaugural KillThrax tour, Killswitch Engage and Anthrax will rotate the show’s closing slot on the new dates.
Tickets will go on sale from Friday, October 10. Find a full list of KillThrax II dates below.
