Killswitch Engage kick off their Australian and New Zealand tour at the end of October, and ahead of their first show in Auckland, the metalcore masters have revealed the local supports joining them on the road.

Having already announced British heavy metal outfit Sylosis as the main tour support, Killswitch are pumped to have New Zealand heavyweights Pull Down The Sun and New Way Home, alongside Australian metalcore outfit Heists, as special guests.

Pull Down The Sun will join the Auckland and Wellington dates, New Way Home will open the sold-out second Auckland show and Heists will be joining the Australian run from Brisbane through to Perth.

Killswitch Engage's tour begins in New Zealand with concerts at Auckland's Powerstation on Saturday 31 October and Wellington's Moew Nui on Sunday 1 November. Killswitch then make their way to Brisbane, playing Fortitude Music Hall on Tuesday 3 November, followed by gigs at Sydney's Enmore Theatre on Friday 6 November and Wollongong's Waves on Saturday 7 November, before rounding out their tour with concerts at the Forum in Melbourne on Tuesday 10 November, Adelaide's Hindley Street Music Hall on Thursday 12 November and Perth's Metro on Saturday 14 November.

Helping modern metal music, Killswitch Engage have been causing havoc for more than 25 years.

Across their career, they've released nine studio albums, with their most recent being last year's This Consequence, amassed millions of streams, taken home three Boston Music Awards and earned three Grammy nominations.

Having shared the stage with everyone from Iron Maiden, Slipknot and Slayer to My Chemical Romance, Mastodon and Parkway Drive, Killswitch's upcoming Southern Hemisphere tour is a chance for metal fans to witness one of the biggest heavy outfits on the planet strut their stuff.
